About the Author

Born and raised in sweltering Singapore, Celine (she/they) writes queer romance novels about little court jesters with weird feelings and big hearts. Their proudest accomplishment is being able to, completely unprovoked, quote the entirety of Venom: Let There Be Carnage by heart. HOLD ME LIKE A GRUDGE (Berkley, 2026) is her debut adult queer sports romance. LOSER NEW YEAR comes out in 2027.
 

 
She is represented by Brent Taylor at Triada US Literary Agency.
