About C.M. Kaufmann
Courtney M. Kaufmann writes fantasy and romance novels about fractured systems, impossible choices, and women determined to rewrite their fate.
She earned her B.A. in Foreign Literatures and Letters with a minor in Italian Studies, and her M.A.T. in 7–12 English Language Arts Education from Bard College. She taught middle school English for eight years and later co-created a high school art and literature course focused on community storytelling.
She now spends her days chasing three boys and building fictional worlds one notebook page at a time.
Beyond the page:
- She’s is a Hudson Valley native.
- She used to carry a composition notebook everywhere in middle school, filling it with poetry, observations, and stories.
- She and her husband love to read books together, like a little two-person book club. They’re currently working their way through the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.
Current Project
THE FRACTURED PROPHET (working title)
