Christine Beatty's Writing

Two decades in the writing, Christine's long-awaited memoir, NOT YOUR AVERAGE AMERICAN GIRL, will be available beginning September 21st, 2011 from Glamazon Press. This book is the riveting saga of Christine's perilous journey from hippie to soldier to husband to transsexual junkie prostitute and rebirth as a postmodern Renaissance woman: writer, activist, musician and software engineer. Rich with many personal photos.

In January, she re-released the expanded, updated version of her 1993 book MISERY LOVES COMPANY. Use the BOOKS link to the right to see and purchase both books. Next year Christine will finish HOMEGIRL, an audacious, wrenching novel about two women escaping in the twilight world of sexwork and addiction.

Christine has been a writer/journalist since 1991. She was on the masthead of Spectator magazine as a regular contributor from 1991 until 2000, covering political, sexuality and gender issues in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Her articles have also appeared in Bay Area Reporter, TG Tapestry, San Francisco Bay Times, TransLiving, Frock, TransSisters, and other publications from regional to international.
