she dreams of stars
Christine Love's collected fiction

I'm Christine Sarah Love, and I write a variety of fiction, from short pieces that stand on their own to novel length serials.

My work varies from science fiction conspiracies to war stories to epic fantasy to simple real world drama, but the one common thread is it's always character-driven, with a fascination for playing with perspective. I hope you enjoy.

Now online is this year's NaNoRenO project, Sketchbook, a visual novel melodrama. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, especially visually.

I've uploaded the first chapter of last November's NaNoWriMo project, which is being somewhat tentatively titled Super Mecha Warrior Maiden of New Earth!. It's definitely pretty out there, and my first earnest attempt at a fantasy story in ages.
