PurpleCar

Welcome! I’m Christine Cavalier, a.k.a PurpleCar, and I’m a writer living in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

I started this blog in 2004 with a general subject format. Now I’ll focus on writing, reading, social media, and education and how these things work together. This is my on-line home, and you are always welcome here.

With a B.S. in Psychology and an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology, I approach writing with an instructional and creative viewpoint. My academic focus was on human development, human learning and research design. My career focus was in technology, specifically infrastructure support/design, systems administration and client support. Now I spend my days being a “Writer Mama,” balancing freelance writing, novel writing, and social media participation with raising two small children.

Please visit and share your ideas. I’ll share the great resources I come across as a first-time novelist and social media researcher. Join me for my occasional writing meme, Wacko Wednesdays, where I give a bit of psych-insider info on personality quirks and disorders that can inspire great characters.

I mostly use Twitter (username @PurpleCar) but you can find me almost anywhere on the net as PurpleCar or Christine Cavalier. I’ve also started a podcast with my friends, Push My Follow; check it out at http://www.pushmyfollow.com/.

Thanks for stopping by PurpleCar.net!
