Christy Hoss

Hello my friends- July is Camp NanoWrimo and I am determined to finish writing The Rubber Band Slingshot Summer, starring all your favorite characters. This is the third book in The Rubber Band series and it will be full of fun, rivalry, a little bit of bullying and a challenge for one character to end bullying once and for all. The band members will be challenged when camps are pitted against each other, mainly Eddie at diabetes camp against the rich kids camp that Becca and the rest of the band are attending. Which camp will win the annual summer games and be awarded the silver slingshot award? Will the band stick together despite an unexpected ambush?

Biography

Christy caught the writing bug in second grade after winning a prize for a five-page story about her dog, Noodles. Mrs. Olson told her she was destined to be a writer and that dream never left her thoughts. After teaching elementary school for fifteen years, Christy fulfilled her childhood dream with her debut novel, The Rubber Band. She substitute teaches to support her writing career, deriving writing inspiration from the students and situations she encounters.
At age twenty-five, she was diagnosed with type-one diabetes but refuses to let it limit her. Her diabetic alert dog, Aiden, has saved her life uncountable times and will appear in future installments of The Rubber Band. Christy lives by this equation: Living + diabetes = LIVE-abetes.
Christy is a freelance editor and writes children’s Bible stories for Focus on the Family ClubHouse magazine and has written articles for Guideposts. She is a featured speaker for conferences, retreats and special events. Christy lives in Northern California with Kevin, the love of her life. They have three grown children.
