Cristina is an award-winning journalist with a talent for distilling facts about real people into lively features and profiles. Snoopers & Sneakers is her first foray into the wide-open world of fiction.

A long-time fan of Harriet the Spy, she set out to write a book that portrayed in an authentic way her daughter’s social turmoil during the middle school years. Meeting her co-author, Lydia Wayman, an autistic adult, inspired the idea of a dual point of view book with a dethroned social butterfly and an autistic cat lover.

Lydia is an autistic advocate with a B.S. in elementary education and an M.A. in English and nonfiction writing. She uses her education and experience to help others better understand how autistic people see the world.

Her debut book, Snoopers & Sneakers, does just that through the voice of a 12-year-old autistic cat lover who has a strong sense of self and is more than a series of stereotypes.
