Meet Christy Swift
I write geeky love stories, sometimes as smexy romcoms under the name Christy Swift and sometimes as sci-fi or sci-fantasy with a little heat in the engine coil under C.P. Swift. I daylight as a freelance writer and social media content provider for medical and technology clients across the country. I’m also editor of the award-winning Heartland LIVING magazine.
In my free time, you can find me living my best life in the Florida outdoors or playing the nerdiest board game you’ve ever heard of with my husband, kids, and friends.
