It’s hard to imagine a Harvard-trained physician penning stories about love and longing, but Dr. Christiana Jones has never been described as ‘conventional.’ Born in Nigeria, she spent every night pressed dangerously close to a kerosene lamp with a book in her hands, while her family bemoaned the lack of reliable electricity. As an adult, her colleagues would traipse off to yoga classes while Christiana, a.k.a. ‘Dr. Doom,’ donned her Taekwondo black belt and earned her fight name.
But for all her interests and passions, Christiana’s heart inevitably returned to storytelling. To this day, her greatest joy is crafting moving stories with strong heroines that pay tribute to the courage and resilience of women working in medicine. Saving lives day after day might take a heavy toll on their personal lives, but that doesn’t stop them from chasing their dreams and following their hearts.
Her first novel, Dancing with the Enemy, was a #1 Amazon bestseller. She is also the author of Loving Dr. Martin and Till Medicine Do Us Part.
