Christina Boekeloo

Writer, cat lover, purveyor of puns

Christina Boekeloo (née Rall) is a fantasy writer with a particular affinity for nuanced characters whose flaws drive the story and the intersection of wonder, horror, and humor.She lives in the moss-covered Pacific Northwest with her husband, kids, and great ambitions of teaching her cats to use those talking pet buttons.Her non-writing free time is dedicated to overly complicated cooperative board games (cough-Frosthaven-cough), point-and-click computer games, long walks in the rain, and getting all of her library holds at once regardless of the spacing of the original requests.
