About the Author

​

Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical romances and adventures since she was too young to even write of such stories. Her collection of YA, NA, and children's fantasy books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books that can all be read separately but also weave together to create a single, amazing fantasy world.

One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to create fantasy stories with no spice or swearing but plenty of unique magic, epic quests, romance, and emotional stories with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. Her YA and NA books include racial diversity and disability rep, while her children's books represent characters with various disabilities. The latter is inspired by Schulze working with adults who have autism and other developmental disabilities at Trinity Services in Southern Illinois. 

Schulze draws much of her inspiration from favorite authors like Tolkien and Diana Wynne Jones, favorite games like The Legend of Zelda, and especially from the people in her life. Some of her exciting ventures include the publication of her award-winning Bloodmaiden, as well as the recent re-publications of her YA/NA epic fantasy series, The Gailean Quartet. Her books for younger readers include In the Land of Giants and The Amazing Captain K.
