About

Hi, there! In case you didn’t know, my pen name is Celeste Baxendell, but you can call me Cel!

I write stories that are tense and dramatic with strong, compelling characters. I write the kind of stories I like to read; intense fantasy with drama, romance, and adventure. I believe reading should inspire you and take you on a journey! My stories center around the idea of finding the light of magic and hope even in dark times.

But, don’t worry, I write clean romances, minimal swearing, and while I do include fantasy violence, I do not write gore and endeavor to keep description of violence generally non-graphic.

I started writing in elementary school but they were mostly horse stories. When I was in middle school, I started writing fantasy and I fell in love with it. I’ve been writing on and off since then, and at the end of 2019 dedicated myself to writing and publishing my books.

I was a horse girl when I was very young, but today, I am a nerd. After I read all the horse books in the library, I picked up Eragon (the horse book of the fantasy genre) and found a new love. My favorite genres to read are young adult, fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction. I also love those kinds of T.V. shows, movies, theatre, and video games (even though I am not good at them). 

You can keep up with me here or on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stick around!
