Barritt was an avid reader during her childhood. Reading is the one habit she nurtured from an early age. She would obsess over Nancy Drew and The Babysitter’s Club. Later on, Christian fiction came along and changed her life.

Barritt’s mother encouraged her to devour the genre because Christian novels were not only safe but beneficial to her impressionable mind. The stories delivered God’s truths in ways she had never encountered before.

By the time she reached high school, Barritt was already writing. She penned many books that never saw the light of day because, at the time, the author was making things up as she went. Barritt had no idea what she was doing.

Fortunately, quitting never occurred to her. She continued to experiment with storytelling throughout college. Eventually, she secured a job at a publishing house. But she abandoned the position when her father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis entered the picture.

Barritt moved back home and realized that writing was her true calling. She couldn’t afford to ignore it. More importantly, she was determined to use her gift to bring God’s word to the masses.

The author uses her personal experiences with her faith to tell stories. She has realized over the years that hope comes from Jesus, and she cannot bring herself to write a book that doesn’t feature his teachings.

That being said, Barritt’s primary objective is to entertain her readers. She knows that audiences won’t receive her faith-based message unless she uses a thrilling story to deliver it. As such, the author goes to great lengths to craft suspenseful romance and adventure.

But with each book, Barritt tries to inject hope into her readers. She wants audiences around the world to realize that God can bring something good out of their worst experiences.

The author admits that balancing romance and suspense with biblical themes is not easy. But she has learned to trust her gut. Barritt knows when a particular story is too slow and reflective. She looks for opportunities to stealthily insert introspection into suspenseful scenes without killing the momentum.

Barritt is also careful to explore evil without glorifying it. She doesn’t shy away from the subject because the Bible investigates the war between good and evil in great detail. The author wants to shine a light on evil because it emphasizes God’s redemptive work.

As far as her writing process is concerned, the author doesn’t maintain a specific schedule. She takes each day as it comes because things are constantly changing. Barritt has days where she can write freely and furiously because her mother is watching her son.

But then, she has days when the child’s art classes consume hours of her time, not to mention the boy’s playgroup. There are no typical days for Barritt.

Christy Barritt Awards

Barritt’s awards include the Daphne du Maurier Award. She has also received Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice and Carol Award nominations.

Best Christy Barritt Books

The author loves music and has been known to burst into song without warning. Barritt’s best novels include:

Hazardous Duty: Gabby St. Claire never got her forensic science degree. She dropped out and chose to focus on her crime scene cleaning business. Gabby wasn’t one to stick her nose where it did not belong. But she couldn’t help it.

A man was in jail, accused of a crime he did not commit. Gabby knew he was innocent because she had discovered the murder weapon during a routine cleaning job. Now, she must join forces with her attractive neighbor to find the real culprit.

Hidden Currents: Cady Matthews had one job. After moving to a remote North Carolina Island, her only objective was to keep a low profile. The detective had drawn the ire of a notorious gang after taking down their leader.

They had responded by putting a bounty on her head. Cady had to stay alive long enough to testify at the trial, which is why she changed her name to ‘Cassidy Livingston’ and went into hiding.

But Cady can’t stay out of the spotlight. The local police are mishandling a murder case, and Cady cannot help it. She must take action.
