ⓘ About Christa Carmen
When she’s not busy writing, she uses a Ouija board to ghost-hug her dear, departed beagle, keeps chickens, and goes off on adventures with her daughter, husband, and bloodhound-golden retriever mix. Most of her work comes from gazing upon the ghosts of the past or else into the dark corners of nature, those places where whorls of bark become owl eyes and deer step through tunnels of hanging leaves and creeping briars just to disappear. Christa has been writing in one capacity or another for as long as she can remember. Painstakingly bound and hilariously illustrated short stories as a kid, emo journal entries as an adolescent and while she was in treatment for substance abuse, impassioned nonfiction essays and these decidedly weak efforts at memoir. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Christa Carmen has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
