By day I am a marketing and content lead at one of the world’s top fulfillment and logistics companies. By night I am the award-winning author of the Christmas novel The Present, the new guardian angels series Heaven’t You Heard?, and The Crisanta Knight Series. The latter is what I am most known for and is the foundation of my brand the Culbertson Kingdom Literary Universe.

The Crisanta Knight Series is a nine-book epic of enchantment, adventure, and inspiration. The series follows the children and younger siblings of fairytale characters, all of whom live in a magical world called “Book,” where citizens train to be the next generation of main characters in stories. Told from the empowering, sassy perspective of Cinderella’s daughter, this series is known for its action, humor, heart, epic world building, strong friendships, and dynamic characters.

Reviewers have frequently described the series as “Harry Potter for Princesses.” As the books develop, we delve into many worlds like Camelot, Oz, Dreamland, Sleepy Hollow, Earth, Neverland, and more. Just a few of the tales worked into the series include: Rumpelstiltskin, Mulan, King Arthur, The Little Mermaid, The Nutcracker, Hansel & Gretel, and Peter Pan.

Growing up, I always loved hero stories and princess stories, but the two archetypes did not mesh well enough for my liking and I wanted to create female characters that embody the fundamental values of both kinds of characters — give true life to the “hero-princess” if you will. This became the heart of my series, and as a result my books are unafraid to dabble in valiancy and vulnerability, and address the complex balance and battle between the two.

All books within the Culbertson Kingdom Literary Universe are great for ages 8 - 80. I am passionate about creating content that isn't loaded with close-your-eyes violence and inappropriate, overly dark mishegas like most of what floods markets today. And, unlike a lot of female-led fiction where romance is a priority (if not THE priority), my coming-of-age stories emphasize the heroines' personal journeys first.

As I've delved further into the development of dynamic main characters, I have put emphasis on core themes such as change, self-acceptance, morality, living up to potential, friendship, perseverance, and the power of choice.

Now with 11 books under my brand in 16+ countries with a growing following, my hope is to continue expanding my literary universe AND take it to the next level!
