FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
(Or questions I anticipate will be asked frequently)

Who the hell are you?
As the front page states, I'm Christin Haws and I'm a writer. A struggling writer. I currently live in a small town in the middle of a cornfield in Illinois with my dad, my personal assistant Carrie, four cats, and a rat.

You still live with your dad?
I've yet to find another roommate who pays all of the utilities, helps me fix my car, doesn't mind I don't have a day job at the moment, and puts up with my abrasive personality in exhange for a few home cooked meals during the week.


Whatever. So what do you write?
Fiction, mostly. At the moment, my work is almost all horror, sometimes with some humor thrown in. I have a terrible time keeping a straight face.

Have you been published yet?
Yes, I've had a few small victories. See the credits page for details.

How can you have a personal assistant? You don't even have a book published!
I know. Carrie is my friend and roommate and since she is a multi-talented young woman who's terrific at keeping me on schedule, reminding me of real world obligations, and bringing me ice cream, I gave her the honorary title of personal assistant. Also, this is my world and I'll play how I want, thank you.

What if I don't want to pay to read your stuff because I'm afraid I might not like it?
Well, then you're cheap and a pretty big chicken. However, I can relate. I'm hoping to get some new freebies up on the site eventually, however, until then I suggest you check out the credits page. I happen to know that "My Winter with Stanley" is free.

Who does your website?
I do (and it shows!). But I recieve a lot of help from my good friend Missy. She is good enough to host me and is wise in the ways of websites. She puts up with my constant inane questions beautifully.

Do you do anything besides write?
Well, I read, listen to music, become addicted to internet games, play cards, belly dance, watch endless reruns of The Golden Girls and Barney Miller, cook, corrupt my nieces and nephews, occasionally hold down a day job, watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons, and basically leave a wake of destruction everywhere I go.

Are you single?
Yes. It's for the best.
