Hi, I'm C. F. E. Black
Love heart-stealing fantasy and fast-paced science fiction? Stick around.
My books aim to delight and enthrall, and you can rest assured they do not celebrate the darkness.
I live in north Alabama with my two sons, one droopy hound dog, an ornery cat, and my superhero husband. No, really, he saved my life once. It’s a cool story.
