— To imagine is to create. To create is to see the beauty in chaos, to form an idea from reality, and to craft something tangible from thought. To bring life. As I imagine, so shall it be.

I’m Crystal. Great to meet you! If you ever need a story, advice, or just a friend, you’ve come to the right place. Please help yourself to my website. Look around, read some stories, pick up a few tips, or check out my editing and formatting services. Naturally, I encourage you to take a look at my books and see if there are any you’re interested in. But most of all, I just want to say thank you for visiting. Support for an author means so much more than buying a book. The fact that you visited my site in itself is more support than I could ask for, and I appreciate it.
Should you find yourself scrolling through my blog, you may notice many of my short stories were inspired by writing prompts. If you enjoy prompts as much as I do, there is a wonderful writing group on Facebook called Authors’ Tale where each Wednesday they produce a writing prompt. I love these writing prompts, so I will be sharing with you any that I follow up with a story. This group is fantastic for support and advice and is by far one of my favorites. We accept writers, readers, and artists of all kinds.
For those who don’t already know, I am a fan of collaborative writing. I think amazing things can happen when two or more authors come together to tell a story. If you’re interested in trying it yourself, there’s a great program called the Collaborative Writing Challenge where authors take a shot at writing a chapter for a collaborative novel. I myself have chapters in three of their novels so far and I even acted as Story Coordinator for one! Anyone with an interest is welcome to sign up, regardless of age, no experience needed.
Aside from my writing, I offer my services as a freelance editor and formatter. Check out my Services page for more information.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy your time here.
