“My decision to publish was spontaneous. I had no idea what was involved and just hoped for the best. Throughout the experience, my questions were answered promptly and what I was unclear about was explained. Because I self-published, I had to make many decisions, which meant I had to be involved and vigilant. The end result turned out better than I could have hoped for. Thanks to Outskirts Press, I was able to make my dream come true.”
Christina Steiner lives in Southern California. She is the mother of two daughters who loved illustrated children’s books when they were growing up. The Sad Tree and Pronuba was inspired by Christina’s visit to the Mojave Desert where she became fascinated by the Joshua Tree and the desolate environment in which it flourishes.
