Christine Calella is the author of The Final Curse of Ophelia Cray. She lives in a place she refers to as ""New York City-adjacent."" There she spends her spare time singing show tunes in the shower, drinking more chai lattes than is strictly necessary, and either over- or under-watering an unfortunate string of houseplants named after sitcom characters.
