Corrine began writing at an early age. In elementary school she created fairy tale stories that her school library made available to the other children. In high school, following the untimely death of her parents, she immersed herself in writing deep poetry and novellas. Some of her pieces were later published in her college newspaper.

She spent many years in management for Fortune 500 companies, a career she left in 2009 to pursue her dreams of becoming a novelist. It was then that her first book, On the Big White Oak, emerged.

Corrine currently resides on Long Island, where she is working on her next book.
 
 


 

 

 

 

Sneak a peek at Corrine's interview:

 

T. Please tell us about your current book.

 

C. On the Big White Oak is a story about three people and the changes that occur in their lives after two of them make an impulsive decision.

It’s an exploration about the depth of love and how it can die or be manipulated. It explores the power of mistakes that cannot be taken back and the way that guilt can press down on a soul so firmly, even breathing becomes tainted. It explores choice.

 

I find it to be a bit of a complex love triangle and it is told from all three characters’ perspectives.

On the Big White Oak
 
 
 
 
 
Adam is a man who has everything: a great career, a happy marriage and visions of the family he always wanted. When the news of his wife's infertility leaves her heartbroken, he is helpless to save her from the despair she has wrapped herself in. Desperately trying to cope with the turn his life has taken, he makes a foolish decision that changes his life forever.

Marian, a kind, independent and lonely woman, has never stopped caring for Adam, her childhood love. After he marries her cousin, a girl she holds dear to her heart, she struggles to hide her true feelings while still being supportive of the relationship that seems meant to be. When a sudden turn of events leaves her bearing a shameful secret, she begins to find solace within the core of her mistakes.

For Delia, life without Adam is inconceivable. She is consumed with their marriage and the future she has planned for them. When she finds out she cannot get pregnant, her world begins to crumble. Caught in the middle of a complex love triangle, she battles with the depression her infertility has caused and comes face to face with her greatest fear.
