Today's 2 Beans
Christine was the first author when I started to ask them directly for bio information, and she provided me with a great one! Here's her response:

"Christine has been in the fashion industry for 20 years, and has been writing for 15. Which says more about Christine's ADD than it does about either fashion or publishing. She lives in Los Angeles with her two children and her long-suffering husband, who moved with her from Brooklyn to LA so she could pursue a career in film. You see how well that worked out.

Finally, the two sides of her life meet with Fashion Avenue Mysteries. She figures she has enough material to continue the series for another 15 years, if you all have the patience to keep reading."

But even the one found at the end of her book was worth reading. 
"Christine DeMaio-Rice lives with her family in Los Angeles. She has been in the fashion industry for over twenty years, but would rather not talk about it." 

What a great sense of humor!
