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 fantasy author based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who writes stories where the ordinary world quietly meets the fantastical. Drawn to themes of memory, legacy, love, and the unseen, her storytelling is rooted in the idea that magic isn’t always found in distant kingdoms — sometimes it lives just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Through atmospheric settings, layered characters, and deeply emotional journeys, Christina creates worlds that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Her books invite readers to step beyond the veil, uncover hidden truths, and lose themselves in stories shaped by family, destiny, and the echoes of the past.

What The Readers Are Saying

Hear from Our Loyal Readers

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.”
