Meet Christina
Before the characters, before the worlds… there’s a storyteller. Come meet her.
About Christina
She doesn’t carry a sword. She doesn’t need one. Christina writes. And that’s worse. Because a sword can only cut what’s in front of it. Christina’s pen? It reaches backward into memory, forward into possibility, and straight through the carefully constructed versions of people who swear they’re untouchable. She doesn’t just tell stories—she exposes them. Builds them. Twists them until they look a little too familiar for comfort. By day, she’s a business owner, strategist, content architect—effortlessly toggling between building brands, running spaces, and making sure everything (and everyone) shows up exactly how it should. By night—or whenever the mood strikes—she opens the gate. And that’s where things get… complicated. Because her worlds don’t stay neatly on the page. They bleed. Quietly. Intentionally. A little bit of her characters lives in her, and a little bit of her lives in them—and if you’re paying attention, you’ll notice none of them are entirely safe. Not the morally gray king. Not the watchful women who learned the hard way. Not even you, reading this, thinking you’re just an observer. She notices things. Patterns. People. The shift in tone when someone’s lying, the subtle fracture in a story that doesn’t quite hold. And once she sees it, she doesn’t unsee it. She just… writes it down. Her motto—the pen is mightier than the sword—isn’t a cute quote she picked for aesthetic reasons. It’s a warning. Because she doesn’t use words to decorate. She uses them to build worlds you won’t want to leave… and truths you won’t be able to ignore.
Step Beyond the Gate with Christina
Christina Welbourne is a fantasy author based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, whose stories live at the intersection of the ordinary and the unseen. With degrees in English and Creative Writing, and a professional background as a writer and social media strategist, she has spent years refining her ability to craft words that connect, captivate, and linger. As a business owner and world traveler, she draws inspiration not only from imagination, but from the people, places, and stories she encounters along the way.
Drawn to themes of memory, legacy, love, and the quiet mysteries that exist just beneath the surface of everyday life, Christina writes stories where magic doesn’t always arrive with a grand entrance. Sometimes, it’s found in forgotten places, family histories, and the moments that feel almost too meaningful to be coincidence.
Through atmospheric settings, layered characters, and emotionally driven storytelling, she creates worlds that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Her work invites readers to step beyond the veil, uncover hidden truths, and lose themselves in journeys shaped by destiny, connection, and the echoes of the past.
At her core, Christina is a storyteller in every sense — blending her academic foundation, professional experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and love of travel to craft stories that feel timeless, immersive, and deeply human.
Love stories where another world exists just beneath our own?
If you enjoy the hidden magic of Neil Gaiman, the layered worlds of V. E. Schwab, the eerie tension of Stranger Things, the fae fantasy of Sarah J. Maas, and the wonder of The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis…
What the Dead Remember lives in that space — where our world and another one quietly collide. 🗝️✨
