About Author Christine Davis

Christine Davis

When author Christine Davis was growing up in New York City she had two great passions – spending her days with her animals and spending her nights gazing at the starry skies, pondering the distant heavens. Her mother was certain she would either become a veterinarian or an astronomer. But life has a funny way of taking people down unexpected roads, and in 1977 she wound up leaving the east coast and moved to Portland, Oregon. Her career path led her into the business world, which satisfied the left side of her brain but kept the right, creative side quiet, longing for expression. She just couldn’t stop thinking about those stars.

In 1995 she transitioned out of the corporate workplace to pursue her true heart’s calling...her soul work. She was looking for a way to celebrate the creatures with whom we share this planet, and to thank them for the many gifts they had brought her. That journey led her to a Native American teacher, who used sound as a method of healing. The author learned to listen to the songs of the rivers and rocks and trees. Her connection to animals was deepened, and she sensed something life-changing was about to happen.

It was during this time that the author’s beloved dog, Martha, became very ill, and Ms. Davis had to unexpectedly continue on her journey without the presence of her four-legged best friend. She grieved the loss deeply, not knowing everything was part of a much larger plan. She didn’t know she would give birth to three books, For Every Dog An Angel, For Every Cat An Angel and Old Dog and the Christmas Wish....books that celebrate our magical companion animals...books overflowing with paintings of starry skies.

Ms. Davis says she has learned much from her passions. The animals have taught her about letting go, for they so often leave long before we are ready to say goodbye. The heavens have inspired her to never give up on her dreams, for on those days when the dream seems a little far away she remembers it is only resting up in the stars, waiting for her to call it back home.

Christine Davis lines in Portland, Oregon with her kitties Dickens, Pippen, Molly and Star. Angel dogs Martha and Jake are flying through the starry skies, but they check in with the author from time to time, until they can all be together again.
