Christie Golden was born on November 21, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia. At thirteen years old, Golden would spend entire afternoons watching A New Hope[2]. After graduating high school, Golden attended the University of Virginia, where she majored in English, and spent a semester of university at Cambridge University in England. She has written eighteen novels and sixteen short stories in fantasy, horror and science fiction.
After shopping around a manuscript she had written for about seven years and suffering numerous rejections, Golden was approached by TSR to do a novel. Golden premiered TSR's Ravenloft line in 1991 with her first novel - Vampire of the Mists. She followed up with Dance of the Dead and The Enemy Within. Golden has written at least seven Star Trek: Voyager novels including the popular Dark Matters trilogy, the Homecoming duology, and the Spirit Walk duology.

The book 'Under Sea's Shadow', published in ebook format only, was released in August of 2007 and focuses on the Sea dancer. The last two books, 'At Wind's Tempest' and 'Through Soul's Desire' would complete the series.
In addition to her original novels, Golden is currently working as one of the three authors in the nine book Fate of the Jedi series.
