About Me

I’m Christopher M. Shamoun, but you can call me Christoph.

What fuels my creativity, you ask?
I’m a lifelong martial artist (Muay Thai & Jiu Jitsu) and a second degree black belt who still finds time to hop on a skateboard or strap on rollerblades. I’m a reader, writer, and lover of all things fantasy. I play guitar, mix cocktails like a mad scientist, and cook dishes that blend culture with comfort (sushi, tacos, and my signature vodka chicken parmigiana are always in rotation).

These passions, movement, music, food and stories are the energy that flow into my novels.

Fun Fact: Before I ever typed “Chapter One,” I was a sponsored rollerblader and a signed musician. Creativity has always been my oxygen.

I grew up in New Jersey, spent years in Brooklyn and now call Southern California home. Writing came into my life after losing my best friend, Erik, and it became the way I could keep our dreams alive. From that grief was born a world of angels, demons, found family, and epic adventures.

Favorite color: Deep red.

Current obsessions: Dreaming up new dishes & chasing the perfect sexy cocktail recipe.

Favorite escape: Anywhere with a good book and good company.

To date, I’ve written five books in my fantasy/ urban fantasy series (with more on the way). My stories are packed with action, music, mouthwatering cocktails and dishes, magic, and friendships that feel like family.

So here’s me. Christoph, an author who builds worlds by day and blends cocktails by night. Thanks for being here! Can't wait to share the next adventure with you.
