In September 2025 (under the name Madeline Bell), I’m embracing adult romcoms with THE AUSTEN AFFAIR, coming from St. Martin’s Griffin!

This book is about feuding costars in a Jane Austen film adaptation who accidentally fall backwards in time and must work together to survive the Regency era! ⚡️⛈️

My next release is a YA fantasy Cinderella retelling called LIAR’S KINGDOM! It asks what’d happen if the wrong girl accidentally fit the glass slipper and decided not to enlighten Prince Charming on that inconvenient truth. It’s enemies-to-lovers and inspired by my favorite musicals! Coming Jan 14!

So hi, everybody! I’m Christine. I work in books by day (publishing edition) and also books by night (author edition).

My YA fantasy debut was THE FINAL CURSE OF OPHELIA CRAY, a pirate fantasy about sisterhood and legacy, with an aromantic lead! It came out this April from Page Street.

My debut novel is coming out April 9th from @PageStreetKids and I'm incredibly proud of it.
