Christine Rains is a multi-genre writer, book blogger, and geek mom. When she's not playing games with her son, she's playing games with her friends. She has four degrees which do not help at all with motherhood but make her a great Jeopardy player.

Christine has four novels and several novellas and short stories published. She is a member of Untethered Realms and S.C.I.F.I. Her writing covers all genres of dark fiction, but she loves to lose herself in paranormal romance most of all.

She also writes fantasy romance under the pen name Morena Silver.
