About PORTIA
Princess Portia is one of the Marked: someday she’ll transform into a dreaded Void demon. To fight this horrible fate, Portia’s spent her life in libraries, learning magic that might break the dark demonic spell. But when the Void threaten to destroy all of the after-realms—and the handsome dragon Emperor Tempest offers his help—then Portia realizes that she may actually be marked for far more than a demon.
Fate is calling the bookworm princess onto the battlefield, and it’s a fight against both demonic enemies and her own heart’s desires.

Deal Alert: Angelbound GAGE only $1.99
Great news! The final book in my Angelbound Origins series, GAGE, is on sale for a limited time… only $1.99 instead of $6.99 on Amazon , Apple Books , GooglePlay , Kobo & Nook
Gage (Angelbound Offspring Book 8)“An action-packed series full of adventures, romance and fun! If you want a fantasy world with sexy times, this series is for you.” -Rosee Reads
Gage runs the L’Griffe, AKA the dragon shifter mafia on Earth. Since the human realm has no supernatural police, the L’Griffe do more than loan money or sell contraband. When it comes to dragon shifters, the L’Griffe are the law. And Gage isn’t the only sheriff in town, either. Other secret groups have their own gangs, including ghouls, demons, and everything in between. It’s an awkward balance, but it works.
Until the demons consolidate into the Horde. This alliance plans to take over Earth, and that’s just for starters.
Now Gage must build his own connections to fight this new threat. Fortunately, Gage’s true love, Huntress, comes from a family of superhuman warriors. All of them agree to team up and put down the Horde. Success seems just around the corner.
Then the truth becomes clear.
Thanks to magical cloning, the Horde is led by an old enemy of Huntress’ family—one that everyone thought had been destroyed forever. Now their archnemesis is back and more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
Looks like defeating these demons may also destroy Gage, Huntress, and everyone they love.

My first grade at Harvard
Dear Readers,
After a semester of thinking “WTF are you doing by returning to school at 52?” I am proud to announce that I received my first grade for my master’s degree in history at the Harvard Extension school… and I got an A! YAS! I’m also happy to report that the two books I wrote and published during the semester got strong grades from readers. LADY REAPER was shorter than I’d liked, but I blame getting COVID for that. And I’m really happy with the quality of RAPUNZELS AND POWERS–some folks have said it’s the best book of my Rapunzel trilogy. Whew!
I’m also feeling fortunate to have a new brainstorming partner. You may know her as Cissy, but it’s my best friend, KS. If you thought RAPUNZELS AND POWERS kicked ass especially hard, then that’s KS. Next up for Team CB & KS: ANGELFIRE. My goal for this release is to boost both the quality and the length of the book.
Here are common questions I get about my school news. I’m putting them below in case they’re of interest…
What program are you in?
The Harvard Extension is for adults. You take classes at Harvard at a slower pace (one per semester) in order to get your degree. I’m not officially part of the program until I finish three classes with a good grade. One down, two to go!
How the fuck do you write two books and go to Harvard?
Good question! My son is diagnosed on the autism spectrum and I think I’m on it as well. Think the Queen’s Gambit, only I’m imagining dragons on the ceiling instead of chess pieces. My brain works best when I’m really busy. This was a test to see if breaking up my full-time author life with more shit to do would actually help my focus. So far, so good!
How come you’re not studying creative writing?
After 45 books, I’m a little stuck in my ways. I’m also bossy as fuck.
Why choose history?
Real-life stories are often better than anything I could dream up with fantasy. Plus, history definitely recharges my mind and comes out in my writing. For instance, I soaked in tons of documentaries about how the pyramids were built. Later on, all that went into my book, LINCOLN, in terms of how the antagonist would smash/use stone.
How’s your son?
He’s eighteen and awesome. For those who don’t know, my son is on the autism spectrum and has an intellectual disability. My boy still attends school during the week where he’s now learning useful stuff like how to shop at the grocery store. And he’s awesome in other ways as well. Case in point: he pulled a Dunkin’ Donuts cup from recycling today since he’d never seen one before. Then, he looked it over for a while like it was the Mona Lisa. And the design is lovely, after all. I just need him to remind me. All in all, he’s a great kid.
That’s all for now. Back to writing for me!

New Description: Archenemy (Angelbound Xavier #1)
Archenemy
Angelbound Xavier #1
By Christina Bauer
ORDER NOW: Amazon / GooglePlay / Apple / Kobo / Nook
Ancient Egyptians. Powerful gods. Lost loves. And one badass warrior with wings.
Welcome to the beautiful land of ancient Egypt… only it may not stay so lovely for long. The chaos god, Set, plans to destroy the human world. Fortunately, the angel Xavier has the perfect plan to imprison Set and fast. Even better, Xavier can enact his scheme alone… which is just the way he likes it. No partners. No complications. No problems.
Suddenly, a gorgeous woman materializes. Calling herself Camilla, she declares she’s from the future. All of which is strange enough, but things soon go from bad to weird when Camilla announces that she and Xavier must work together—it’s the only way to defeat Set.
Wow, does Xavier ever hate that idea.
The warrior angel decides on a strategic retreat. In other words, Xavier works to avoid Camilla at all costs. Turns out, that isn’t so easy. This mystery woman has set Xavier’s blood on fire in a way he’s never felt before. No matter how hard he tries, Xavier simply can’t desert her.
But is Camilla another element of Set’s destructive chaos magic… or is she Xavier’s only chance to save both himself and humanity?

Pre-Orders Live – EVIL QUEENS AND GOBLIN KINGS!
My fairy tale retellings continue with EVIL QUEENS AND GOBLIN KINGS, Book 1 of the Witches of the Magicorum! Don’t miss out — preorders are now live across all retailers!
To Order: Amazon / Apple / Nook / Kobo / Googleplay
About Evil Queens and Goblin Kings
Book 1 in the Witches of the Magciorum
Like all Magicorum, seventeen-year-old Avianna should follow a fairy tale life template. Too bad hers is the evil queen from Snow White. Even so, Avie works hard to be the best evil queen in her coven. Mastering potions? Easy. Enduring a bitey pet raven? Bring on the enchanted Band-Aids. But there’s one requirement Avie can’t accept with a smile.
On her eighteenth birthday, Avie must marry the handsome-yet-creepy Ice White, CEO of Tundra Pharmaceutical.What a mess. The company is almost bankrupt and Ice’s daughter, Snow, is more interested in clubbing with dwarves than actually helping out. To keep Tundra going, Avie must shmooze their top customer, the infamous Greenwich Troll Collective. There she encounters the troll prince, Kane, a guy who’s kind, intelligent and drop-dead gorgeous. Sparks fly; questions appear.
For the first time, Avie considers breaking from her destiny as evil queen. But what would that mean for Tundra? Thousands rely on the company’s life-saving potions. Bankruptcy could kill them. Not to mention how the hunters of Avie’s coven regularly assassinate anyone who denies their fairy tale life template.
But now that Avie has a future worth fighting for, maybe it’s time the good girl tries a little evil scheming…
