Christy Tennant is a writer and musician who also still acts every once in a while. She has contributed to Discipleship Journal, Pray, Bible Study Magazine, and Comment, and she blogs on ConversantLife.com. She holds (loosely) credits at two different colleges, which she hopes will not expire before she manages to graduate, probably in her next life. She takes the Staten Island ferry several times a week to get to her job on staff with International Arts Movement and lives in "the forgotten borough" with her dog, cat and a steady stream of visitors.
