Interview: Christie Walker Bos
Christie Walker Bos is the author of several contemporary romances.  One in particular caught my attention.  It is called The Write Man For Herand has a paraplegic male love interest.  I wrote to Ms. Bos and asked her some questions about this book and what led her to write it.  I hope you enjoy my interview with her below.  Also take a look at her website for more information about all her stories and books:   http://christiewalkerbos.com/ Find The Write Man For Her at Amazon. 1) How close are your books to your real life experiences?
