Christiana creates powerful retellings of myths and folktales. She has two full length books published as well as a novella. She has the ability to weave words that bring new life to the stories she tells. With high ratings for her newly released books, she is quickly taking the writing world by storm. Beyond her books and short stories, she has five—FIVE!!—short stories published in anthologies and a magazine! Another two short stories have been accepted for publication next year. You go, Christiana!!
Her first book, Witch Queen, is a retelling of Snow White in the point of view of the stepmother. How fun is that?! This book has it all: a strong woman who has to run her kingdom while having to contend with a looming war. Meanwhile, the balance of emotions between her deceitful husband and her own growing attraction to the king’s new leader of mercenaries is riveting.
She also has published Flowerface, a retelling of a Welsh myth about a woman made of flowers and magic. Her fate is to become the Summer King’s bride. And despite her desperate craving for love, he doesn’t love her. When she finds herself in the arms of the Winter King she has to find a way out of her marriage… from a god! And save her lover, too, while she’s at it!
Like many authors, Christiana is working on two things right now, one of which is a sequel to Flowerface named Owlfeather. This should thrill her many readers. Her second work-in-progress is a cozy paranormal mystery called The Accidental Witch.
Christiana has a few facebook pages: her personal page, one called Starlight and Shadows, a Readers Group, and her Mythic Corners. You can follow her on any of these pages. She can also be found on Instagram, Twitter, her own personal Website, or her Amazon Author Page.

Magic Mirrors, Mystery and Murder
Queen Grizel is the only one qualified to train her stepdaughter as a priestess so she can inherit the throne. When the princess goes missing, Grizel is determined to find her, but the king, as well as a group of mysterious dwarves, seem equally determined to stop her. Her only ally is Duncan, the leader of the king’s mercenaries, but even he distrusts her motives.
Grizel’s efforts to convince him that she means her stepdaughter no harm result in a new conflict – one involving the heart.
However, giving into love means losing power and Grizel likes being a queen. Having it all – love, freedom and her title – may not be possible. Which will she keep, and which will she lose?
Born of flowers and magic, Blodeuedd is tied to Lleu, the sun-god, in an eternal marriage. Even when she meets a mortal man who shows her the meaning of true love, she remains faithful to her husband.
Soon, however, she discovers that not just her marriage but her entire life has been built on lies and secrets. She was created, not to love Lleu, but as a pawn in his callous game.
Fighting for vengeance as well as for survival, Blodeuedd seeks to protect herself and those she loves from the machinations of her husband and his family. The question is…how can a mere vegetation goddess triumph against the powerful Summer King?
A tale of myth and magic, Flowerface springs from ancient roots in the Welsh Mabinogion. It is intended for an adult audience.
