A collection of short stories - warm, funny and occasionally outrageous - designed to entertain and keep you HOOKED to the last page. The inspiration for this collection came about during a number of summers spent on the island of Malta - a small, densely populated island in the middle of the Mediterranean, fertile with intrigue. Everyone practically knows everyone - or of them, and this made it a natural place to give birth to the ideas for the stories in this book. Thanks to the great friends and the wonderful regulars who frequent Simenta, a beach concession in St Paul's Bay, I was able to familiarise myself once more with the rich fabric of life and relations of my island of birth - and let my imagination run wild! I hope you have as much fun reading my collection of short stories as I had writing them.
Christina grew up on the island of Malta. She travelled extensively with her husband Bjorn, living for short periods in Geneva, Stockholm and Iran before finally settling in Western Australia in 1982. Christina obtained a doctorate in social/political science at Murdoch University in 1998. Christina's professional career included lecturing at West Australian Universities, management positions within the public service of WA, sitting on the bench of the Equal Opportunity Tribunal and public policy consultant to the Premier of WA. In 2008, she decided that it was time to realise a long held dream and go sailing around the world. After eleven years of sailing and travelling, Christina took up the pen again, this time branching out from academic writing into fiction and biography, apart from occasional work as a consultant to the European Union's Coastal Management projects. In 2018, she returned with her husband to live in Perth. They have two children, a son and a daughter, and three grandchildren.
