A HOME FOR THE CREATIVE is an internet radio show that focuses on what we’ve learned about the awesome people we’ve met along the way! We believe that when someone has a gift, it’s our duty to share that with anyone who will listen. At A HOME FOR THE CREATIVE, you’ll be introduced to authors, artists, readers, musicians, nurses, doctors, runners, singers, songwriters, poets, actors, photographers (but mostly writers) and a slew of others! You’ll hear excerpts, song clips, and actors reading their lines, be able to participate in giveaways, hear about upcoming events and always learn about someone new!
YOUR HOST My name is Christina Leigh Pritchard and I am the author of the C I N Series and also, The Fall of Gadaie Series. I’ve been writing since I was nine. I spent my childhood in a dinner theater so I love actors, shows, musicals, etc. Being in such a creative environment spurred me on to express myself as a youth. I wanted to try everything (even though I always knew I wanted to be a writer).
I took art courses, even earning the opportunity to draw on the windows of McDonald’s during the winter months. It was a great experience but not enough… Band was cool. I got to march, to play in concerts, and attempt to hit high notes on my clarinet (my dog loved to howl whenever I played so maybe I wasn’t so good at instruments). I loved it!
Bipolar Awareness Join Author Christina Leigh Pritchard as she interviews Jilda Leigh, author of the Rosebud Series and self-help novels dealing with bipolar disorder.

Acting classes were next along with many other experiences. I’m proud of my background. I feel blest to have been able to grow up in an environment that welcomed dreamers. That’s what this radio show is about. I want others to feel like me! I want them to have a home—a place where they can freely talk about what they love. There isn’t anything more exciting to me (besides writing), than learning about someone who, despite all odds, struggled through reality and held onto their creativity! Come, welcome, please, take a look around at what a little hard work can accomplish! My sister, Ember, is an artist, photographer and poet. She Co-hosts most shows!
Children & Disabilities Jaimie Hope writes a children’s series about a little girl who is bound to a wheel chair. What’s amazing about this author is she wrote these stories from experience!
