I come from a photo-journalistic background, published in 3 languages. Mostly in popular magazines with large subscriptions but I'm also an actress/director/producer. I studied each of these disciplines for several years.

Writing has been my first love now for over 40 years and I'm finally starting to get better at writing screenplays since I've won a few awards. Some major companies in Hollywood have currently asked for two of my scripts with an eye to either option or co-produce them.

Novels are my greatest passion. Usually there's a courageous, strong female protagonist involved
who works very hard to overcome major obstacles that stand in the way of achieving her dreams.

I love GOODREADS, it's like entering a casual coffee shop where folks

The freedom to express yourself without censorship!

As a Journalist I was bound to publish rock-solid, absolute truths (so my editors would not get sued) had to remain un-biased and objective. In other words I had to edit myself as my point of view needed to be perfectly balanced.

Being a writer of fiction was as though I was suddenly (after being harnessed) a free filly with a wide open field in front of it and could tap into the precious gift of unlimited imagination...(less)

Christine Hi friends,

the still fairly new e-book is selling, friend-lists are growing here and on FACEBOOK!
I'm thrilled beacuse George RR. Martin has blessed ' TO LIFE' or 'le chaim', the film-script I wrote. It will be a movie soon...we're all very excited about this.
We will have a great team of mostly local talent and use our given locations and the Greer Garson Studio for filming in and around our capitol...what a blessing!!!


Christine Being a writer makes me as happy as riding a beautiful horse through a meadow which looks like heaven on earth...Help me folks, with more reviews. I never know if something I wrote hits anyone else in the right places...but I surely know when it hits me.


Christine George Plimpton was one of the main guys behind 'THE PARIS REVIEW'
and a dear friend whose opinion I have always cherished. I'm sad that he's gone forever now...
I just loved this man, so smart, so funny and he never took himself too seriously either.


Christine Met George RR Martin ('Game of Thrones' series) the other day at the Jean Cocteau movie house in Santa Fe, he is highly intelligent and larger than life, what a guy! I will get to read from my Sci-fi novel 'Lisa Bennett visits Utopia' on the stage of that movie theater in the very near future! What an unexpected thrill...I'll let everyone know how it went.
I adore my small but loyal fan club of readers and it is my pleasure to keep them informed about my antics...
Christine E.


Christine 'LISA BENNETT BESUCHT UTOPIA 'the German version has left the publishing house on June 7th. and is now available wherever books are sold...

My German fans asked me to do it and so did Miranda Prather, a GOODREADS/FACEBOOK friend and top reviewer.
I'm glad I stuck with it.


Christine comments and reviews are most welcome, whether they are good, bad or inbetween, just as long as they are honest and heartfelt!
you may criticise the work to your hearts content but don't insult the hardworking writer's integrity...and please refrain from personal attacks on the author. She is open for discussions about this particular book.
Thank you readers, for withhout you there would be no authors.

Christine 'Lisa Bennett'' found homes at 2 book-readers sanctuaries:

Joan of 'THE ARK' and a new bookstore called 'OP-CIt' at 500 Montezuma Street in Santa Fe, NM. These 2 Ladies have taken in books and decided to gage readers reactions with these few copies, to test the water...Official book-signings for these limited first edition prints will follow shortly. To be announced soon.
