Crystal WoodI married my high-school sweetheart at eighteen, and we currently live in Southern Oregon in our little hobbit hole with our brilliant little teenage theater nerd. We have two big dogs (Wilbur and Dexter), and a chinchilla (Cedric) who never fail to ring warmth to our home... mainly because the big dogs are quite gassy. I'm an eccentric auntie, amateur comic artist, and terrible but passionate karaoke singer.By day, I'm a polyamorous, demisexual kitchen-witch who loves feeding people and hosting Tabletop gaming nights... By night, I'm a best selling ghostwriter and editor who's written more than thirty novels that I can't give any details about. I also coach other writers who need help planning or finishing their books.While ghostwriting is very rewarding, I don't always get to write in my preferred genres, and I dream of a day when I can pay the bills writing Fantasy, SciFi, and Paranormal Romance. My bookshelves overflow with Neil Gaiman, Piers Anthony, Stephen King, and Sherrilyn Kenyon as well as many of my favorite indie authors which is a much longer list so I'll try to stick with the most important... E.M. Kaplan, R.E. Carr, Jenna Moreci, Robert Bevan, Rick Gualtieri, Drew Hayes, John Hartness, Travis I. Sivart, Steve Wethrell, and so many more that it would take a great deal of time to mention them all.As a side project, I've also recently started consulting on a series for an incredible comic book artist and hope to one day start writing comics of my own. Comic art has always been a hobby of mine, but I'm very slow at it. That's one reason why I'm always on the lookout for artists that might be willing to collaborate with me on a pleasure project.Compelling art, in any form, can have a tremendous impact on the world. It can bring hope in the darkness, or courage in the face of terror. I've always wanted to write the kind of books that make people reassess the way they see the world. I hope my characters connect with real people, and show them that that they're not alone and that their demons can be conquered.Hopefully, this is the part of my creative journey where I get to accomplish that.
