About Me

Christie V Powell
Christie Valentine Powell wrote her first story in second grade and has been writing ever since. She loves writing fantasy, where she can make up her own rules. All of the Spectra books take place in the same fictional world, where elemental abilities are divided into six magical kingdoms. Her other hobbies include making toys, hobby farming, and daydreaming. She lives near the sunniest city in the world (Yuma, Arizona) with her husband, children, and many critters. I'd love to keep in touch! Find "The Spectra Books" on most social media.
