About DARE
***BEWARE***
If you don’t like pixies, then don’t read this diary.
And if you don’t like feisty pixies who become queen while cherishing their so-called attitude problems? Definitely turn away right now.
I’m a pixie who rules as Queen of the Summer Fae and yet, I’m also the proud owner of a very cheeky personality. What can I say? It works for me. Or it does until an evil sorcerer plans to destroy all of Faerie. The Usurper.
To defeat this deadly mage, I team up with my elf crush, Dare. He’s a Prince of the Winter Realm and just awesome in general. Together, we face this threat like two pointy-eared bosses. Sure, it’s a dangerous quest, but things get way worse when the unthinkable happens…
Dare is kidnapped.
Will I give up? Hell, no. But I will crash an ice polo pony tournament in a bikini. Then I’ll kick some sparkly fairy butt and save the day.
Because that’s how we saucy pixie queens get stuff done.

Meet Myla’s Next Nemesis – Lady Reaper
Dear Readers,
This fall, Myla faces off with an evil pharaoh (and his steampunk powers) in Clockwork Igni. Next year, our heroine encounters nothing less than the grim reaper! Turns out, the gatherer of souls is an evil victorian chick with a small hat and huge attitude. Preorders for this title go live later this year, but you can meet Lady Reaper today!
Here’s the story in three simple steps. First, Lady Reaper escapes her ethereal prison. Second, the malicious supernatural wants Myla’s job of sending souls to their final after-life. Third, Myla will have none of it.
Scroll down to check out the placeholder cover as well as a glamour shot of our future villainess!

Best Book Quotes – HUNTRESS
So without further ado, here are some of my best book quotes!

About Huntress (Angelbound Offspring 7)BUY NOW: Amazon / Apple / GooglePlay / Kobo / Nook
Princess. Warrior. Dragon shifter. HUNTRESS.
When it comes to protecting her family, eighteen-year-old Princess Huntress is known for kicking ass, taking names and then kicking a little more ass, just to be sure. She’s the last of her kind—a glass dragon shifter—and no matter what the threat, Huntress always tracks it down solo.
Then Huntress meets the leader of the L’Griffe crime family, Gage Beaufort, who is a dashing dragon shifter with a knee-melting stare. The attraction is instant, yet Huntress hates it. Why? Crime syndicates hurt royal authority, which means they threaten her very family. Long story short, being with Gage is just wrong. Besides Huntress already has a rock-solid life plan, and that’s to fight alone, forever. No relationships, thank you very much.
But when a new danger threatens the royals, everything changes.
Now Huntress needs a mercenary army and fast, so she forges an alliance with L’Griffe. To protect those she loves, Huntress agrees to marry someone she loathes: Gage Beaufort. Yet help from L’Griffe might not be enough. Huntress’ family may still be at risk.
Even worse, the same is true for the princess’ heart. Gage is a man who always gets what he wants. In this case, the crime lord desires Princess Huntress, body and soul.

Fuck you, you fucking pirates
Dear book pirates,
I know you’re out there. Swashing your virtual buckles. Riding the high seas of electronic theft. Somehow getting a rogue paperback version of my book, HUNTRESS, listed on Amazon. I’d tell you that I’ve filed a dozen complaints to Amazon, but you already know the ZON hasn’t kicked you off (yet!) because your content is still up there, only with a launch date that’s one month after my real launch date. And somehow, you’re also pulling content updates from my legit draft print version right into your rogue bullshit. Nice trick!
So here’s my fair warning. I’ve uploaded a copy of Angelbound in CHINESE to my draft print version of HUNTRESS. Pull that in, fuckers! Try to sell it! I even put in a dedication (in English) explaining to readers that this a pirated version and to complain and get their refund. Bwah hah hah!
I also-ALSO created a special edition of HUNTRESS with extra images and that’s generated by someone who’s NOT Amazon so you can’t hack the platform for the real info. Because guess what I did in my day job for decades? Cyber security. I know you can’t hack into a new system in two seconds. Here’s the result:
Now, this could all be a big misunderstanding. You might be legitimately trying to do something else and just so happened to somehow get a listing for my book on Amazon with random auto updates. But you’re still going to pull the Chinese version of Angelbound down and face the consequences. Because whether you’re evil or lazy, it’s always a good time for a learning moment. Which, in this case, is either telling you to “stop being a pirate” or to “start paying better attention at work.”
And for my legit readers, you can get my new and enhanced HUNTRESS book (with extra pictures!) from an unrelated printer that’s now only sold through Amazon. Just click on the link that’s selling right now or enter this code into the Amazon search bar:
9781946677860
On a final note, this is a rather extreme scheme, dear pirates. You’ve got some serious skills. I sincerely hope you can focus them somewhere else one day. Imagine the great things you might accomplish.
Fuck you again,
Christina Bauer

About DARE (Book 3 of the Pixieland Diaries)
See It On: Nook / Amazon / GooglePlay / Apple / Kobo
What happens when a pixie outcast seizes the throne of Faerie… while her beloved elf prince becomes a wanted criminal?
Sassy pixie Calla loves the prankster life, even if it does make her an outcast among other fae. But everything changes when Calla’s magic erases an evil blight destroying the Faerie realm. That’s when the pariah pixie becomes something unexpected: a Fae Queen.
Yet no sooner does Calla take the crown than a new and unstoppable plague appears. Things get even worse when Calla’s longtime crush, the elf Prince ‘Dare’ Darius, appears to have masterminded the outbreak before fleeing to the mountains. According to the Faerie elders, there’s only one way to end this disease…
Calla must hunt down Dare and destroy him.
Yeah. Like that will ever happen.
Instead of killing anyone, Calla vows to cure the plague while proving Dare’s innocence. And if she must pull a few mega-pranks to make it all happen? Not a problem. Even so, the path ahead is still fraught with trouble. Secret enemies scheme to manipulate the outbreak—as well as Calla’s feelings for Dare—in order to bring our favorite prankster down, once and for all.
