Kiss the Dirt: Aussie Tales

Christine C. Elliott is an Australian author who grew up in rural areas, an upbringing that infuses her writing with a deep understanding of small-town life. Her writing explores the hidden emotional currents that exist beneath the surface of everyday life in these communities.

In 2014, Kiss the Dirt was Christine’s first collection of short stories. It has since been revised.

In 2021, Christine published "Of Covid and Curfews (112 Days in Lockdown, Melbourne 2020)," a memoir chronicling her personal experiences during the lockdown in Melbourne. Her intimate account of this unprecedented time offers a unique perspective on a global event. Since publishing this memoir, Christine C Elliott has also published two non-fiction reference books for beginner authors, How to Write, Publish and Sell your First Two Ebooks and a revised edition of Breaking Through Writer’s Block: 25 Tips to Improve Focus and Boost Productivity

Currently, Christine is working on a relationship memoir and a second collection of short stories, building on her impressive body of work.
