Christine King Feehan was born in Ukiah, California, USA. She grew up with 10 sisters and 3 brothers and spent a lot of her school time writing, often getting into trouble for it. She made her ten sisters read everything she wrote. Feehan describes herself as a lifelong writer, stating, "I've been a writer all of my life -- it is who I am. I write for myself and always have. The ability to create pictures and emotions with words is such a miracle to me."

Living in the beautiful mountains of Lake County, she enjoys hiking, camping, rafting, and being outdoors. She holds a third-degree black belt in a Korean karate system and teaches self-defense.

Feehan published her first novel, Dark Prince, in 1999, which began a paranormal saga. Her debut novel won 3 of the 9 Paranormal Excellence Awards in Romantic Literature for 1999. Over her career, she has been nominated for the RWA's RITA and received a Career Achievement Award from the Romantic Times.
