How Stroke Recovery Is Going for Romance Novelist Christina Berry
How Christina Berry's life changed after her stroke and why she's writing a stroke survivor into her next romance novel
As a follow-up to romance novelist Christina Berry’s essay “The Stroke of a Pen,” about her 2022 stroke and her stroke recovery, we’re presenting this video interview with Open Secrets editor Rachel Kramer Bussel and Christina Berry. Future essayist interviews will be for paying subscribers only, but due to the important health issues raised in this interview, we are making this interview open to all readers.
Transcript to be added at a later date.
About Christina Berry: Christina Berry is an award-winning author of sex-positive romance. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, she's an advocate for diverse representation in romance. Born in Oklahoma, she lives in Texas with her husband and two robot cats.
About Open Secrets: Open Secrets is a home for memorable, revealing personal essays about all the subjects we're taught to keep “secret.” We publish a new essay every Monday.
I like the way you talk about several different types of identity like being a person who writes in the morning vs at night, or whether Christina sees herself as a stroke survivor. Great interview!
