Author bio

Christina Bauer writes the kind of fantasy that likes to move fast, crack a joke, and then throw somebody into trouble with demons, dragons, witches, or elves. Her stories usually center on capable young women, big feelings, sharp banter, and worlds with a lot of magical rules to break. She lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her husband, son, and a golden retriever named Ruby.

She clearly prefers fantasy with a pulse.

Bauer studied English as well as television, radio, and film production at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School. That combination helps explain why her books read with a strong sense of motion. Scenes arrive quickly, voices stay clear, and even the bigger worldbuilding moments are built to keep the story rolling. She later returned to graduate study in history, which fits neatly with how often old myths, royal bloodlines, and deep magical pasts show up in her fiction.

She has said that fantasy simply makes life better.

That attitude runs through almost everything she writes. Her official bio leans into the fun of it all, from brainstorming strange new creatures while riding the Boston T to filling her novels with humor alongside romance and danger. Even when the stakes get large, and they often do, there is usually a wink somewhere on the page.

For many readers, the doorway into her work is Angelbound. That series begins with Myla Lewis, a tough, funny part-demon fighter in Purgatory, and keeps expanding outward through Scala, Acca, Thrax, and a long list of connected books. What starts as a paranormal romance with arena battles turns into a much bigger universe of royal houses, prophecies, family drama, and after-realm politics. Bauer has also revisited that world from other angles, including stories focused on Lincoln, Maxon, and Xavier.

She likes big universes, but she never forgets the people inside them.

That same mix of action, romance, and personality shows up in her other series. Beholder follows Elea, a farm girl who must embrace necromancy to survive an evil tsar. Wolves and Roses and the wider Fairy Tales of the Magicorum books remix familiar tales like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Rapunzel into modern fantasy adventures with Manhattan glamour and fae politics. In Scythe, Umbra, Alien Minds, and ECHO Academy, she shifts into dystopian science fiction, but the voice still feels recognizably hers: brisk, playful, romantic, and full of momentum.

Bauer also has a lighter, diary-style side in the Pixieland Diaries books, where pixie heroine Calla narrates her own chaos with plenty of attitude. She writes adult fiction under the name CEE BEE as well, which shows that her interest in paranormal romance and fantasy worlds stretches beyond one readership lane. Another personal detail readers often notice is that she narrates many of her own audiobooks, which makes sense for a writer who so obviously enjoys voice and character.

Across all of her work, a few things keep turning up: heroines who push back, love stories that thrive on conflict and loyalty, magical systems with social consequences, and a refusal to let fantasy become too solemn for too long. If you start with Myla, Elea, Bryar, Calla, or Meimi, you are stepping into a Christina Bauer book for the same reason, to have a good time with danger, heart, and a heroine who is very unlikely to stay quiet.
