A little bit about Celina

Born October 16, 1966 in Clarksville, Tennessee, Celina fell in love with the written word at an early age, teaching herself to read at only two years. Her passion for language led her to becoming fluent in English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Latin. She attended Austin Peay State University on a debate scholarship where she graduated with degrees in political science and communications. Celina’s intention was to pursue law school, but another passion was calling her name—the theater. After college, she went into professional theater, racking up credits as an actor, scenic designer, and director. But theater rarely pays the bills, so she returned to her first love, writing. Celina published her first novel, The Reckoning of Asphodel in 2007. What followed was an impressive backlist of fiction, paranormal, and sports writing that would take an entire page just to summarize. As skilled as she was at writing, she truly excelled as an editor and worked as managing editor at two different publishing houses before working completely freelance where her clients included New York Times/USA Today Bestselling authors.
