Author. Mom. Romance enthusiast.

C. F. E. Black writes heart-stealing fantasy that delivers slow burn romance, high stakes, and epic feels. Her romance is swoony but spice free.

She lives in the blissfully hot south with her knight-in-shining-armor husband, her two knights-in-training, and their trusty hound dog. When she's not writing or wrangling her sons, she's likely caught somewhere in the vicious cycle of exercising and baking.
