Hi, I’m Crystal.
I am an artist – consider myself to be a creative person (not just because my imposter syndrome would never tolerate calling myself an artist) as I love to write, paint, graphic design, and craft. I’m a middle-aged mom (according to at least one person on the internet) and if you couldn’t tell already by the title of this site or the overuse of parentheticals, I am a millennial. I made my first website in 1998 and haven’t really stopped since. When I’m not working a customary 40 hours to support my livelihood I am writing and publishing romance and romantasy on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited and using my social media to bring awareness to the social and political causes I care most deeply about. If you like what you see or read here then I thank you for your time!

Me My Mom My Grandma
Out of sheer curiosity I decided to create a spreadsheet that would automatically calculate for me the age of both my mom and grandma (aka my parents) at every year of my life so far, alongside my own age, so that I can see how old they were when I was their age…. or something…
