Welcome!
I'm Chrissy Davis, a middle grade author.
I've always been a dream-follower. From the time my first love of acting and performing led me to studying theater and drama, to getting my Masters in Education and becoming a teacher. I've always been looking ahead, following my passions to the next chapter. For the past twelve years, I’ve been following my passion of writing books for middle grade audiences.
I love writing about extraordinary kids in school-type settings who are on a search for self-acceptance and empowerment. This website and blog, “My Passion’s Path,” is a place for me to share my journey as an educator, writer, and dreamer.
Thanks for joining me!
Tech-E Academy
A light sci-fi middle grade, hot out of the querying trenches.

But when a hacker seeks to sabotage a new invention, he and his friends must find the culprit before it's game over for Tech-E Academy and his family legacy.
