Christine Myers

has been a science fiction fan since seeing the original "Day the Earth Stood Still" at age eight. Her favorite sub-genre is science fiction romance with interstellar space travel and a bit of space opera.

She grew up watching Star Trek and reading Marvel Comics. She attended science fiction and fantasy conventions, meeting many well-known science fiction authors and attending their readings and discussion panels. They included sci-fi greats Anne McCaffery, CJ Cherry, George RR Martin, Ben Bova, Timothy Zahn, Frederik Pohl, and Orson Scot Card.

Among the most influential in her work are the Lazarus Long novels by Robert Heinlein, including "Time Enough for Love" and Marta Randall's "Journey." She loves Star Trek, Firefly, Farscape, and Veteran Cosmic Rockers, the Moody Blues.

After spending years trying to get her work published by traditional publishers, she discovered KDP and became an Indie Author/Publisher. This means she does it all, from writing to publishing. Now she is publishing wide and selling her eBooks directly from her website

While she loves sci-fi, she always thought there should be more romance, so she started writing it hot and steamy under the pen name Clarissa Lake. Now that it’s no longer a secret, she publishes under both names.
