Christine Brodien-Jones

Christine Brodien-Jones writes fantasy/​adventure books for young readers.  She lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts - the oldest seaport in the country - with her husband Peter in a tumbledown seaside house. She works in a corner of the living room by the window, with a view of the sea, on a huge Shaker desk littered with carved wooden owls. When the wind blows in from the north, her house creaks like an old ship. Gazing out over the salt marshes and boats, she can see the sky and waves and shifting colors. It's easy to imagine distant places and mysterious other worlds.  She loves writing for children because she remembers her own excitement reading books when she was young: the nooks and crannies of her hometown library, the musty smell of old pages, and the sheer joy of escaping into a book. Her hope is to fire the imaginations of young people so they can treasure and love the amazing power of stories.

The Dreamkeepers was published under the name Chris Brodien-Jones.
