About Me

About me.  Hmmm...  Well, as you can see from my Google profile info on the left, I'm a wife, mother, and urban fantasy writer.  I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my family.  I have a lot of great online friends, fans, and followers that I like talking to.  That is why I created this blog.

I write fiction about vampires, werewolves, witches, and a barrage of other paranormal creatures.  I also enjoy raising chickens, giving away fresh eggs, growing vegetables to feed my family, and discovering new ways to provide for my family without increasing our debt. Two very different sides to my life.

I created Crazy Homesteading to separate my readers.  This keeps my vampire fans from having to wade through my "homesteading" posts, and gives my chicken-raising friends a place to go without having to sift through my monster information.  It's all good!

Oh, back to me!  My name is Christie.  I've been married to my husband, Tim, almost 18 years now.  We have three beautiful daughters ages 15, 11, and 7.  You'll see their pictures from time to time as they help out around the house. 

I do a lot of what I do so that my girls can experience more in life than just television, video games, and cell phones.  Aside from fresh eggs, this was one of the main points I had when we started raising chickens--a new experience for the children.  Wait until they're running around with purple arms in the fall from helping out with pickling beets.  LOL!  They don't even know what's coming for them.  :D
