Personal bio
Professionally, I use my maiden name, Christine B. Whelan. Socially, I use my (legal) married name, Christine Whelan Moyers. This way, I can disavow whatever the other version of me does (“I know–Christine Whelan is so pretentious always talking about her books and going on TV… no, no, that’s not me, I’m Christine Moyers, Peter’s wife…”)
Christine & Peter c. 2007
Peter and I were married in June of 2007. We have a cat named Chairman Meow and we live in Iowa City.
We’re thinking of getting a new cat and debating names. With one kitty named Chairman Meow, it’s a tough act to follow. I’m thinking we have to follow the dictator cat theme (since, let’s be honest, we all know who runs the household).
