You might notice a small change around here. Just a small one. I’m going back to my maiden name and have been strategically changing things as I go. I’ve been Christy Trujillo since 11/3/01 and I must say, it was a tough decision to go back to Babich. Especially because I have six books published under my married name. Truthfully, they’re not that good so… at least there’s that. I did speak with someone once who told me my real literally success would come in my 40s. The book I’m working on now could be that book. I’m writing it under my new Pen Name (Christina Wulff) but who knows how that will all shake out. Also, I now have a different name than my son, which is odd. People have kids with people they’re not married to all the time these days, but I’m old-school Southern so that’s not a thing for me. Most everyone I know, knows me as Christy Trujillo, or CT, which is what most folks call me. I have a serious identity there. It’s MY name.

But the truth is, it’s not my name. It’s his name. His name that he gave me and not mine to keep. We’re not that bitter couple, there’s no resentment there, but still. It’s not who I am anymore – Mrs. Trujillo. And I certainly don’t want to be Ms. Trujillo, that’s just sad. Especially because he may very well give that name to someone else and then she will be Mrs. Trujillo.

So, Christy Babich it is. Hi. Nice to meet you.
