"LGBT characters, in Engela’s work, follow narrative arcs that occasionally intersect with their sexual or gender identity, but are more often driven by the human characteristics shared by all people—hope, fear, ambition, humor, and love." - Sarah Rutledge Fischer, Focus Mid-South magazine
Action! Adventure! Space Opera!
The Galaxii Series by Christina Engela is set in the not too distant future - at a time when a 21st century Earth shattered by first a global nuclear war has risen from the ashes to become the seat of a stellar Terran Empire. The series tells of the struggles and adventures of realistic characters, each with their own unique interests and obstacles to overcome: career-minded Space Fleet officers, solo adventurers and rogues, Corsairs - space pirates who turned the less-traveled space lanes into perilous journeys in their pursuit of wealth and fame - and aliens of all persuasions.
"Blachart has the potential to be a future, modern classic piece of sci-fi space opera and both amuses and entertains from the very first minute you turn the page." - Mark Woods, author of "Time of Tides" and "Fear of the Dark".
"Demonspawn is a detailed well-imagined space story, which I found hard to put down, in fact I read the book in just 3 sittings. Christina Engela has created a believable world of space travel, delivering it in way that seemed to me logical and explained without straying from the main plot." "It’s an enjoyable read that will leave you wanting more. 5 Stars." - by Lee Hall, UK writer, playwright and reviewer.
"Dead Beckoning"- "If you like classic space opera with an ultra-modern twist, you should check her out. Having read previews of her forthcoming work, I can guarantee you the best is yet to come…” – Mark Woods, author of "Fear of the Dark" and "Time of Tides".

The Quantum Series by Christina Engela
Action! Adventure! LGBT heroes!
Life out on the frontier isn't easy, and neither is living on Deanna - a third-rate Terran colony on the edge of sanity as much as on the edge of civilization! The Quantum Series by Christina Engela, now standing at six titles, is sci-fi with a dash of fantasy, featuring a host of heroes, heroines, villains, aliens, and unusual and often humorous situations.
"Engela’s eye for the quirky humor of even the darkest situations sets her writing apart from the masses. Her fiction combines oddball humor, in the tradition of writers like Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, with the best of traditional science fiction. A government agency regulates time and its manipulation against the efforts of a brilliant scoundrel. A retired space cop turned bounty hunter grumbles and grunts like a classic pulp noir detective. A glamorous retired intelligence agent moves to a new planet in the hopes of escaping the mystery and mayhem of her former life. And tucked inside her stories, like a kind of stealth activism, lurks a beast almost never seen in either mainstream or science fiction: fully fleshed out LGBT characters." - Sarah Rutledge Fischer, Focus Mid-South magazine.
