WIP Arts is pleased to introduce a new contributor! Christine will be writing about the arts and culture scene in the Pittsburgh area. Check out her bio and work below. Welcome, Christine!
Christine M. Soltis
Christine M. Soltis’ deepest passion is in fiction writing and has been for over ten years. She has written dozens of books, including several non-fiction international co-creations. Many of her novels can be accessed via Amazon.com. In addition, she is co-writer on various film scripts and does freelance writing, including scientific topics.
She is also a monthly contributor to the horror site, Ravenous Monster and now, WIP Arts. In the past, she has contributed articles to various magazines including The Globe, The Front Weekly, Verdure Magazine, The Yahoo Network, EscapeWizard.com and Whatscheaper.com. In 2011, she was an exhibitor at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
In addition to her writing, she made her acting debut in A Chemical Skyline, which was an Amazon best-seller for monster horror. In 2012, she lived in Los Angeles, California and was able to take part in a 15 minute, nationally syndicated courtroom drama that aired on Fox and the CW network, among others.
For her first degree, she attended Point Park College for Broadcasting and worked in newsradio for a decade. Christine has completed her Masters of Science in Environmental Studies, which has heightened her appreciation for Earth and science.
Besides releasing books, Christine has begun a journalistic/arts “webisode” via SolsticeNightSky Productions, which features science, travel, artists and events in the local area. These episodes can be found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/SolsticeNightSky
