ABOUT CHRISTIN
Christin Marie is a Florida native and London-based novelist, poet, and blogger whose work weaves mysticism, ancient Greek historical myth, and the inner landscapes of the heart into sensory-driven prose. Her poetry is a textured, lyrical exploration of love, longing, spirituality, and transformation. She's the creator of the e-course Radiant Quill: Living and Writing in Your Essence, which helps writers and creatives cultivate a sustainable, soul-led creative flow. The Rose Temple is her debut romantasy novelette, inviting readers into a richly imagined world where devotion, desire, and destiny converge.
ABOUT THE ROSE TEMPLE
The Rose Temple is a radiant feminist romantasy novelette, set against the backdrop of a Bronze Age Aegean society centred on goddess worship. It follows a priestess's transformative journey from sacred duty, through forbidden passion and heartbreak, to a reclaimed life of authentic desire and self-created purpose.
This work was a compelling and essential choice for our bookshelf. It masterfully reclaims a historical narrative to explore timeless themes of autonomy, sacred femininity, and the courage to choose one's own path. At its heart, the story aligns perfectly with our mission: it is a profound exploration of breaking from prescribed roles to forge an authentic self, echoing the personal and collective liberation we seek to champion through all our publications.
To Be Released: Autumn/Fall 2026

SAMPLE POEM
The poem below was originally published with our quarterly publication, Thorn & Bloom Magazine Issue 04: Radical Joy We Cultivate
Fiestas en la Cocina (Parties in the Kitchen)
We dance and play like laughter ringing
Take my hand, turn up the volume.
Resume . . .
your neck on display,
red meat, out for me to eat,
rare, with succulent flavor
I make you my dinner.
Feast–
‘cause that’s what we do best–
freedom to indulge
with sensory-tuned tastebuds
and timbres flying…
A meal without clothes is today’s speciality.
Twirl me, move me
bend my hips to follow your rhythm
I grab hold of your thighs and create a stir–
the melody of my concoctions.
Original, inspired
resourceful at play,
a delicate flavor to explode in your mouth.
Another sip, another gulp
thread me through then let me unwind
see me spin in socks, I’m spun
then serve me up
and garnish with kisses.
The oven’s warm,
and so are we
alight in music, smells, spells, symphony
Sparks fly from corner heights–
simmer with me just a while longer…
for I’ve been cooked through,
juices still lingering.
Come slurp me up
for no one should live without the food of love.
~ Christin Marie
PRAISE & RECOGNITION
"Christin's work is bold, nuanced and examines desire and power while delivering a timeless, urgent love story, while challenging patriarchal narratives in her debut novel, The Rose Temple. We were immediately captivated by her lyrical language throughout her book, and once we began reading her other work, which offers the same poetic radiance, we knew Christin is a voice we want to empower for years to come."
