Christina is a writer of young adult fantasy, blending myth-inspired worlds with character-driven romance and high stakes.   She’s especially drawn to fierce heroines who kick butt and refuse to back down, the kind of girls she would have wanted to read about as a teen (and still does!).  She has been passionate about storytelling since she was young, selected for a competitive international writing program in high school and published in Teen Ink.  She's presented her creative nonfiction at the Sigma Tau Delta International Convention, where she also chaired a session on contemporary literature.  She holds a degree in Writing from Marist University and is a member of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild.  

She grew up in New York's southern Dutchess County, just outside Poughkeepsie, and now lives in the foothills of the Catskills, where life is rural, lively, and occasionally ruled by chickens.  When she’s not dreaming up new worlds, you can usually find her lost in a book, splattered in paint, or wrangling her two little adventurers at home.
