Being a precocious child, she continued her reputation of being "perpetually curious & temporally displaced" by embarking on a career of emptying library shelves at every opportunity; in the process earning the nickname "She who walks between worlds" from her delighted teachers and perplexed relatives.And the trend continues today...As an adult, Christine continues to indulge in her love of all things literary and historical. In 1999, believing that children can find good role models in both literature and history, she co-authored the Chivalry for Children program to help them do just that. In 2006, wishing to expand her understanding of chivalric Orders of all kinds, she accepted appointment as a forum moderator on the well-regarded Templar History.com discussion forum.When not teaching, moderating discussion forums, or performing at Renaissance Faires; Christine can most often be found volunteering for a wide variety of charitable endeavors. In 1986, she founded The Bearjoran Project, which has, in it's 11 year history, collected over 1000 stuffed animals for use by law enforcement and community safety personnel.
