Cooper City, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/04/2013 -- Best-selling authors come from a variety of backgrounds. From John Steinbeck’s roots as a fruit picker to Stephen King’s long stint as a high school janitor, literary success does not require a thoroughbred path. However, in the case of one rising author, her professional experience is one key to her writing success, in addition to her utter passion for writing, a common link shared by many promising authors.

Meet Kerlynn Christophe, PhD; a highly-qualified academic tutor with a special focus on working with young children in many areas, including English, Language Arts, Grammar, Reading, and Writing. However, what many of her acquaintances are not aware of is that Dr. Christophe is also producing some of the finest new children’s literature to hit the market.

With four children’s books already gracing her growing bibliography and with an upcoming novel on the way, Dr. Christophe believes that both her professional and personal experiences are vital to inspiring her prose. “My professional life as an academic tutor certainly feeds into my writing,” says Dr. Christophe, who has a Doctorate Degree in Advanced Classroom Instruction. “I intertwine what I learn as a professional with what I experience personally to deliver a product that is well-rounded,” Dr. Christophe adds.

She continues by saying, “My writing goal is to provide reading experiences for children that are positive and genuine. Those reading experiences should provide meaningful connections as children read and link what they have read to their everyday lives. On an academic level, I want my audience to enjoy reading, while at the same time demonstrate fluency and comprehension. Whether the topic is serious or humorous, adventurous or courageous, I want children to pick up my books and look forward to reading more of them.”

With a host of engaging and compelling plots, the diverse nature of Dr. Christophe’s works impresses her critics.
