Christine Bernier Lienke 
attended Minnesota State University-Mankato earning her bachelor's degree in Mass Communications. Upon graduation, Christine worked in project management and marketing for many years. 
    Since that time, she has worked as a journalist as well as a managing editor for a local entertainment magazine and real estate publication. However, she could not resist the allure of freelancing and so she left the 9-to-5 grind.  
    She is a busy mom of two beautifully vibrant children: Taylor and Jarred. Between writing assignments, she finds herself running to school events, football or baseball games, and art classes with her active offspring. Christine is married to a wonderfully patient man who encourages her to dream big, Garret.
    She loves to travel, frequently visiting New York City, and she wants to return to Bermuda one day. Two of her favorite Minnesota destinations, and where she finds infinite writing inspiration, include Lake Superior and Rainy Lake.
