Christine Norris

Once upon a time, Christine Norris thought she wanted to be an archaeologist, a fairy princess, a Broadway actress, or maybe even a firefighter. She ended up doing some of those things, but not all—she never became an archaeologist because, as it turns out, she hates sand and bugs. However, her love for old things and mythological creatures led her down a different path: writing.

Christine has authored several well-received young adult books, including The Library of Athena series (soon to be republished!) and A Curse of Ash and Iron. Her short stories have also appeared in anthologies like Gaslight and Grimm, Grimm Machinations, and Other Aether.

To support her writing habit and maintain her lifestyle, Christine works as a school librarian in New Jersey. Whether or not she has a secret library in her basement is something she can’t confirm or deny!
