Christina Kirkland is actually my real name just with my first name dropped.
Current Projects:
(1) Awakening ( Focusing mostly on this project)
(2) Project Andromeda
(3) A collection of pieces that don't need to be in Awakening, but I didn't want to get rid of them either so I am making an anthology of them.
Alright then, I prefer to go by Athena Nightingale as my pen name. Real name is Brenda. I'm a skyrim fan and Athena is the greek goddess of wisdom.
I love my writing as it gives me an outlet for my life. I mostly write fantasy and science fiction, if i had to choose one i would say fantasy is my stronger point. I also like doing free verse poetry.
I like mostly alternative rock, techno, and celtic music. I love movie and game soundtracks. I am doing college for a degree in English that I hope to follow up with a teaching license. I prefer to learn through books than sit through a lecture on a subject except for math and in that case i will always be lost.
I love my family even though they drive me crazy, but hey they are still family. I have a close group of friends that I would call my second family that I've known for years and wouldn't trade them for the world, again no matter how much they cause me to go crazy.
