Christina Jespersen, Braxton Robbason & Sean Hanley
This regular Paragraph reading series features the writing of its members. Join us this month for some wonderful writing by Christina Jespersen, Braxton Robbason and Sean Hanley. Free and open to the public.
Christina Jespersen writes middle-grade and young adult fiction. Of Danish and American stock, Christina grew up all over the place. She has a masters in political science and Mandarin Chinese and before settling in New York a few years ago, roamed the globe as a humanitarian aid worker for the UN and international humanitarian organizations. Her fairy tale, The Princess and The Wall was published last year in the anthology The Heroic Young Woman (CliqueCalm Press). Christina is currently working on a middle-grade fantasy novel entitled Rugworlds.
Braxton Robbason's first published writing appeared in The Astronomical Journal. He recently switched from writing code and PowerPoint presentations for a company he co-founded to generating fiction. He takes credit for the genre moniker 'rural fabulist'.
Sean Hanley used to be funny when he was writing jokes for “The Nanny.” He moved back to New York with his tail between his legs after the reality TV trend extinguished his burgeoning Hollywood career, and has spent the last year and a half of his life sitting alone, like a dog, in a Paragraph cubicle with an aging laptop and hundreds of gallons of Diet Pepsi. He looks forward to reading from his first very serious, extremely humorless novel about a self-indulgent actor whose spoiled Hollywood existence is even more two-dimensional than the one he’s paid to portray on, you guessed it, a sitcom.
