A Little Insight into the Author
About me
Hello hello my name is Cristin McNally, I’m a 23 year old woman living in stunning Northern Ireland. (Or my favourite name for it, the Emerald Isle). I have decided to embark on this particular adventure as a blogger to share my lived experiences, passions, and to cultivate joy in the telling of stories.
A Little Autobiography
For those curious about me, here you go! My love affair with books began early in my childhood, igniting a fervent desire to share the magic of storytelling with others. I love losing myself in other worlds and immersing myself in the lives of characters. Feeling everything along with them (the joys of being an empath huh). From climbing mountains, to riding on dragon back, or watching as people fall in love, books have sustained me and brought me unrivalled joy. Nestled in the pages of a novel (normally beneath my duvet), I find solace and inspiration in the beauty of the written word. As a result this love of literature drove me to pursue a degree in English. Which I’m glad to report I achieved, and it fostered in me a dream of becoming a writer and author one day.

I also enjoy cooking, I’m a mostly self-taught cook now since I moved out of home at 18. Although I am backed with the skills I learned from the culinary Goddess that is my mother. I love blasting music in the kitchen while dancing around meal prepping dishes. Trying new recipes I’ve googled or found on Pinterest (the best app in the world in my humble opinion). As an extrovert, I thrive on the energy of human connection. Revelling in the laughter and quiet joy of being surrounded by those I love, or the excitement of meeting new people.
Amateur watercolour painting is my latest endeavour, a delightful hobby to be sure, one I greatly enjoy. Though one where I have to practice patience more than I would like throughout the learning process. But we will persevere!
My faith and relationship with God are my compass guiding me through life. Anchoring me in the truth of His continued presence with me, and a love bigger than I understand. Thrift shopping and movie nights with friends are cherished rituals. Woven into the fabric of my life alongside day trips exploring the lush landscapes of Ireland when I can. (Something I REALLY need to do more of, seriously, google Northern Ireland landscapes, it’s too fricking pretty).
So there you go, that’s a little glimpse into who I am. If you would like to know more, and read more about my life as it unfolds then please stick around and peruse this blog! I would love to hear from you and see you be encouraged, challenged, and have a good laugh.
