Book IWD Speaker: Celina Thompson

Best-selling Dark Romance Author whose work is inspired by feminism and disability advocacy

Celina Thompson is basically a vampire.

She is a disabled author with multiple invisible illnesses, which cause sunlight to be painful, require blood transfusions, and even make garlic off limits.

This served as inspiration for her debut novel, Sanctuary (a #1 Amazon Bestseller in “Spicy” Horror).

Her passion for raising awareness for disabilities and healthcare continues with her new novel, La Mamácita Mafiosa.

Before discovering her medical conditions, she worked in technical theatre and continues to have a deep appreciation for the arts.

She loves immersing herself in telling a powerful story and transporting people to another world.

Celina is a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA), Romance Writers of America (RWA), and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers (RMFW).

Currently, she is the Event Coordinator for the Colorado Chapter of HWA.
