Author Nation Interviews

I didn't realize I was an author! Plus the cornerstone of your DIY book marketing

📚 Christine Clifton didn’t realize she was an author. She was just writing a book. Did that make her an author? In this interview we talk bout Christine’s journey to becoming an author. Plus, we talk book marketing tips for authors, and how you might use her ideas for your independent book promotion.

Christine Clifton is a Connectrix. She believes that fostering the power of connection – to Source, Self, and Service – is what facilitates life’s flow.
She’s thrived through several mysterious health issues, left a successful 6-figure corporate career, and embarked upon entrepreneurship… all in ways that leave most people scratching their heads.

What Christine came to realize was that the way she navigated her work and life “pivots” was her a unique super-power. She learned to connect within herself in order to make choices that served her, even though they didn’t always make “sense” (to herself or others!).
