Christina The Author

Step Through the Gate… If You Dare.

Christina Welbourne creates atmospheric fantasy where hidden legacies, ancient gates, and the unseen world exist just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Step Beyond the Gate with Christina

Christina Welbourne is a Tulsa-based fantasy author, business owner, and serial entrepreneur who understands just how heavy real life can feel. In the middle of juggling work, family, and the constant pull of responsibility, she’s learned the value of slipping away — even for a few minutes — into a place where the rules are different and anything is possible. Her stories are written for those quiet moments of escape, where readers can breathe, wander, and step into something bigger than the everyday.

Through hidden worlds, buried truths, and characters wrestling with destiny and calling, Christina writes stories that remind us there is more beneath the surface than what we can see. Her books invite readers to leave the noise behind for a while and enter a realm shaped by memory, legacy, and the feeling that sometimes the path you’re meant for is the one you never expected to find.

What The Readers Are Saying

Early reflections from those who’ve already stepped beyond the gate.

Slide 1 of 3

“I didn’t expect to feel this pulled in so quickly. The world feels so close to our own that it almost makes you wonder if it could be real. There’s this constant sense that something is just beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered. I found myself thinking about this story long after I stopped reading for the night. It’s emotional, mysterious, and honestly a little haunting in the best way.”

- Callie Becerra

“This story has such a unique vibe. It’s not your typical fantasy — it feels grounded and real, but layered with something magical and unsettling at the same time. The setting alone pulled me in. You can practically see the places, feel the atmosphere, and sense the history behind everything. I kept wanting to read just one more chapter to see what would be revealed next.”

- Taylor Goins

“I got really attached to the characters, especially Olive. I found myself rooting for her the whole time. Elijah was one of my favorites too, and I loved how layered he was - he had some very 'surprising' secrets. Vivian’s story was so interesting and mysterious that I kept wanting to know more about her every time she showed up. I was so excited when I learned there would be a sequel.”
