About the Author
Cristine Keller is a science fiction author drawn to dark, dystopian worlds where survival, morality, and control collide.A Gen X upbringing—split between constant moves as the child of an Army father and three formative years in West Berlin—shaped her perspective on instability, resilience, and human behavior under pressure. Those themes now sit at the core of her storytelling.She grew up consuming anything with a strong hook, from science fiction novels to her father’s comic book collection (whether she was supposed to read them or not). Influences range from classic films like The Thing and The War of the Worlds to atmospheric and industrial music such as Ultravox, Static-X, Rammstein, Danheim, and Heilung—sounds that still fuel the tone of her writing today.A lifelong gamer and storyteller, she began writing early, drawn to the freedom of building worlds and pushing characters to their limits. What started as a creative outlet eventually became something more: a way to explore the darker edges of human nature through speculative fiction.She writes for readers who aren’t looking for comfort—but for tension, consequence, and the kind of stories that linger.

Worse yet, it was her idea … and the lie weighs heavily on her conscience.When the trap fails, something far worse is set in motion—unleashing a threat that no one was prepared for.
