Hi! I’m CHRISTINA MITCHELL. I write contemporary romances about damaged people who need (and deserve) happy endings.
My debut novel, How to Stay has sold tens of copies (TENS I TELL YOU) and it won the GDRW 2020 Patti Shenberger Award for Best First Book. I’m super proud of that, but also weirded out about saying that it won an award. It feels braggy. But I just said it anyhow, so I can’t be that weirded out. Point is… I don’t remember my point. I guess it’s that I’m kind of awesome, except when I’m not. It’s moment to moment, really.
I also collect novelty mugs, listen to sad sad songs, obsess over Batman, and watch way more Rifftrax and MST3K than is normal or healthy. I like dinosaurs, shark movies, and glitter. I live in Michigan with my hilarious husband and a houseful of non-winning scratch off lotto tickets because I’m the most optimistic cynic the world has ever known.
If you’re still reading after all that nonsense above, we should hang out. Come see pictures of my ridiculous mug collection on Instagram and chill with me in my Sparkly AF Reader Group. Oh and if you’re feeling like supporting what I do, my debut novel, How to Stay is available at e-book retailers now.
OTHER FUN FACTS ABOUT ME!
— I’ll watch any paranormal show about people fighting the forces of darkness.
— I once won a karaoke contest by singing the poignant, “I Dreamed a Dream,” from Les Mis for the first round, and the even more poignant, “Ice Ice Baby,” for the second one.
— I don’t like pizza, pasta or ice cream.
— I collect flying pigs.
— The Christmas Folgers commercial where Peter comes home from the military makes me cry ever single time.
— I wear mostly black, because I’m goth on the inside, but I wear a lot of glitter because I’m also full of rainbows and that kinda shit.
— When you’re not looking, I dig through your Chex mix and eat all the rye chips.
— The moment I took those photos of myself in a crown, I didn’t hesitate to put them on this website. Make of that what you will.
CHRISTINA MITCHELL writes contemporary romances about damaged people who need (and deserve) happy endings.
When she’s not writing, Christina drinks Moscato from novelty mugs and spends her days listening to Taylor Swift and Lewis Capaldi, obsessing over Batman, and riffing on b-movies about genetically-modified sharks. She lives in Michigan with her hilarious husband, who almost never complains about the tons of glitter makeup she leaves lying around.
You can see pictures of her ridiculous mug collection on Instagram, and you can hang out in her Sparkly AF Reader Group. Her debut novel, How to Stay won the GDRW 2020 Patti Shenberger Award for Best First Book.
