Cristina Macari

Cristina Macari's writing invites readers into a world where magic pulses just beneath the surface of everyday life. Growing up in New Jersey as the daughter of Italian immigrants, Cristina's early experiences shaped her fascination with stories that blend the mystical with the real. She believes that magic isn't just confined to fantasy realms—it’s hidden in plain sight, waiting for the right person to uncover it.

With a B.S. in History and double minors in Creative Writing and International Business from Ramapo College, Cristina brings a thoughtful depth to her storytelling. Her academic background fuels her passion for creating rich, immersive worlds where secrets are plentiful, danger lurks around every corner, and the line between the magical and the mundane is often blurred. This sense of mystery and wonder is at the heart of her Secrets of Isoria series, a young adult contemporary fantasy that takes readers on thrilling journeys where magic and the modern world collide.
