Christine Fonseca - Author
I am a nonfiction and YA fiction author. Fascinated with the human condition, I write books for teens and adults that delve into the full range of human emotion – from the thrill of first love, to the pain and fear of extreme loss.
As a School Psychologist, I see the difficulties most children face as they make that jump into adulthood. Through my parenting books, my advice books and my stories, I want to help make that transition a little easier – either through inspiration, or escape.
My parenting book, Emotionally Intense! Learning to Cope with Your Gifted Child’s Outbursts will be available 2011 from Prufrock Press, a leader in the publication of books in gifted education.
I live in Southern California with my husband and two daughters. I am currently represented by Krista Goering of The Krista Goering Literary Agency.
I can be found on Facebook and Twitter. You can also contact me via email – Christine.Fonseca.Musings (at) gmail.com.

Hey there. My wife and I are old folks now. I am a semi-retired Doc, and she is fully retired, except she still looks after one big kid- me.
She had good training though- she spent her life as a school psychologist!
