Celina Summers is a speculative fiction author who mashes all kinds of genres into one giant fantasy goo. Her first fantasy series, The Asphodel Cycle, was honored with multiple awards--including top ten finishes for all four books in the P&E Readers' Poll as well as a prestigious Golden Rose nomination. Her Asphodel world combines a strong classical mythology foundation, traditional fantasy characters and settings, and strong female protagonists--elements to be found in all her work. The Black Dream series is also set in Asphodel, as is her new series Blood Feud.

Celina's other published works include the Mythos sensual romance series about Greco-Roman goddesses; Metamorphosis, a collection of her short stories; and the Covenant series, vampire historical fiction co-authored with Canadian author Rob Graham. Celina was the editor of the speculative fiction e-zine Penumbra, and worked as an editor and managing editor in e-publishing for well over a decade. She now writes full-time, but moonlights and edits a select clientele of writers including NYT and USA Today bestsellers in multiple genres. She also is a sportswriter and political analyst writing for multiple media outlets.
