Christine DePetrillo is a teacher and bestselling author of romance fiction from Vermont in the United States. Since 1997, she has been working as an elementary school teacher having graduated with a masters degree in the same from Rhode Island College.

The author believes that she can only help her students by providing experiences that will be useful to them in the real world. For this teacher, the classroom is part of the society and a vital one that keeps it running for generations.

Christine has also authored many fiction works most of which have happily ever after endings. She has published works in the many different subgenres of romance including young adult romance, contemporary romance, historical romance, romantic suspense and paranormal romance in addition to gothic poetry.

DePetrillo was brought up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States. She was unfortunate enough to be born in a neighborhood full of boys, which made her a tomboy growing up.

She would dig in the dirt right alongside the boys and has never stopped as she came to love dirt; the texture, the smell of it and its magical ability to spawn stuff. Nonetheless she has lived in suburbia for most of her life even though she is usually at home in more natural settings.

She is a huge lover of wide open spaces, animal encounters and wandering in the woods. During Christine’s childhood, her family used to vacation up north in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont every summer. As such, she grew to believe that those were spaces people headed to to unwind.
Therefore it is not surprising that she drops most of her characters in such places and has made Vermont her home.

Just like many authors, Christine DePetrillo has always been huge on reading. In fact, her husband has always joked that every time he sees her she is always reading a new book. She even once said that she would rather cut things out of the grocery shopping list rather than cut on her books if they were ever short of money.

While he laughed at it, she was being very serious about it. Christine does a lot of Kindle shopping in recent times since it is easier to click to whenever the next fun read is. Nonetheless, she still goes to Smithfield’s Barnes & Noble every chance she gets. She usually just browses the shelves or finds a book recommended by a friend.

When she is not reading her novels, she can be found walking barefoot on sun kissed soil, talking to dragonflies and hugging trees. She finds happiness in breathing in the fragrances of new blooms, bathing in moonlight and listening to the wind.

Her love for nature often gets into every story she writes as does her obsession with lumberjacks that know how to love and cherish women.

Christine DePetrillo does much of her writing during the summer months since she spends much of her other seasons working with fifth graders. Even though she does sometimes write while school is in session, the summer is one of the only times she can truly live and work like a writer.
She usually likes to write in her comfortable shorts and tank tops out on her patio that she had made the official writing office. She currently lives with her husband and cat in Vermont.
