About Us

Magia Books is owned by A.J. Cerna and Kiersten Michele. Yes, we're married. Yes we work together. No we haven't killed each other... yet. 

KIERSTEN MICHELE is an author and bookworm who spends her mornings, evenings, weekends, and in-between times reading. She grew up on mysteries, fantasies, historical fictions, and any other story that would take her on an adventure. Her love of reading turned into a love of writing, and she took that love to college and…got a PhD in counseling psychology. Plot twist. But when she’s not writing extremely fascinating academic articles, she’s creating stories to take her on more adventures.

The Shadow Weaver's Gambit was her first solo project. She has also written City of Mages and Canyon of Crystal with A.J. Cerna.

When not tucked into her reading chair, she’s out adventuring in the real world, climbing rocks, hiking rocks, and taking way too many photos of rocks.

A.J. CERNA is an author, film-lover, gamer, and all-around story junkie. Like any healthy kid, he grew up imbibing fantasy novels, anime, manga, and movies, and realized at a young age that writing stories was the best way one could spend their time. Eventually, he found his way into film school, where he got his degree in screenwriting. In his time in Hollywood, he pitched animated series around town and worked in the anime dubbing industry in various capacities. He also ran the film site LRM Online as editor-in-chief for several years, which allowed him to write about the stories he loves when he wasn’t writing stories himself.

His series consist of Djinn Tamer, Champions of MythRune, The Mage War Chronicles, and Spectral. 

When not reading or writing, he can be found hiking, podcasting, gaming, or checking out the latest craft beer breweries.
