Christine E. Schulze
Belleville, IL

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, MG, and children's fantasy and Christian fantasy books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books which can all be read separately, but which weave together to create a single amazing fantasy. 

One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to be able to create grand fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. She believes strongly in including diversity in her books; right now her focus is includes racial diversity and people with mental and physical disabilities. Twenty-five percent of all Schulze's royalties are donated to ALFA, a local charity that provides funding and volunteers for Trinity Services in Mascoutah, IL; Trinity provides a day program and residential services for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Her most recent projects include the release of her latest kids' book, The Puzzle of the Two-Headed Dragon, with St. Louis artist Karen Swartz, and the professional re-editing and remastering of two YA fantasy series, The Gailean Quartet and The Hero Chronicles, the latter of which will be released under its new name, A Shadow Beyond Time. For this series, she has also brought an amazing new co-author onto her team, Kira Lerner, whom she has used many a time as her editor for other works.
