The Cabo Diaries Christina Carter Page

For readers new to the name, Christina Carter is a former investigative journalist turned fiction author. She spent three years living in Mexico as a freelance reporter, which explains the authentic geography and local color in The Cabo Diaries . Her background in journalism gives her prose a lean, factual crispness that contrasts violently with the emotional chaos of her characters.

Carter’s routine is deliberately tactile. Mornings begin with coffee and either a swim or surf, depending on swell and schedule. She drafts at a café that doubles as a co‑working hub, scribbling in a battered notebook before moving to a shaded rooftop to record interviews over video calls. Her creative tools are simple: a lightweight laptop, an external hard drive, and a year’s worth of chargers. Offline, she keeps a paper map of local contacts—artisans, fishermen, municipal officials—annotated with windows for the best times to visit. the cabo diaries christina carter
