Crisanta Knight: To Death & Back
Page 43
I wondered when I would next see Alex, Arian, and Mauvrey. I wondered if I could control the magic growing and burning inside of me—keep its thirst in check the way I’d just kept my darker half in check. And I wondered what the Lady of the Lake meant about me finding the Four Waters of Paradise elsewhere …
I’d get the answers to all three questions eventually. As the scene melted away, I knew there were more important matters about to unfold. I had a realm to restore, a Fairy Godmother to save, an evil witch to defeat, and a kingdom of antagonists to stop. And I had to do them all before day’s end.
Things were about to get real.
Geanna Culbertson is the award-winning author of The Crisanta Knight Series. Since Book One’s release in May 2016, the series has won many awards, including a Mom’s Choice Award for best family friendly media, a Living Now Choice Award for “best lifestyle and world changing books” in adventure fiction, a Benjamin Franklin Award for best books in Teen Fiction, and many more!
The Crisanta Knight Series is a proud sponsor of Girls on the Run, Los Angeles (GOTRLA). Driven by a heroine who is strong, smart, and bold, The Crisanta Knight Series is happy to be a continuous presence in the GOTRLA community, as both envision “a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential.”
The series has been featured in Girls’ Life Magazine as recommended reading for preteen and teen girls. Culbertson is also a regular speaker at schools for an array of age groups (from elementary schools to major universities).
Culbertson is a proud alumna of the University of Southern California where she earned her B.A. in Public Relations and triple minor degrees in Marketing, Cinematic Arts, and Critical Approaches to Leadership. She is a part of only 1.3% of her graduating class to earn the double distinction of Renaissance Scholar and Discovery Scholar. Her Discovery Scholar thesis “Beauty & the Badass: Origins of the Hero-Princess Archetype” earned her acclaim in the School of Cinematic Arts, and helped fuel her female protagonist focused writing passions.
In addition to authoring The Crisanta Knight Series (set to be eight books with the final release in spring 2021), Culbertson is a full-time manager at a leading industry digital marketing firm, representing over 30 clients across the world. When Culbertson is not working or writing, she can likely be found performing volunteer work at her local karate studio where she teaches martial arts (she is a black belt), going on adventures with her mother and best friend, and indulging her love of delicious food across the land.
