Welcome to crystal fletcher's website!
I'm an author who is passionate about travel, writing and human rights.
Despite the passing of time, the thrill of seeing my first novel Beauty Beneath the Banyan (BBTB) in print has not worn off and I look forward to introducing my next novel Tears from the Sea (TFTS) to you. Cross your fingers for me as I work on polishing the final draft and that there will be many fabulous publishers knocking down my door when my manuscript is ready to roll.
In the interim, I will continue to polish away, dream of the next adventure abroad and eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

What's Keeping Me Busy
Here's an excerpt from Tears from the Sea.
Kawi was born on the sea, to an existence dictated by the breath of the wind and the volatile monsoon season. One of the last true nomads, she has only ever known beauty--the warm aquamarine waters of the Andaman Sea, dense mangrove forests, pristine beaches, deserted lagoons and the freedom of the waves beneath her. After the big wave eats her family, Kawi is sold into the sex trade and the freedom that once infused her existence is lost as she is forced to succumb to the horrors of life in a Thai brothel.
Tears from the Sea is a young girl’s struggle to survive and find beauty amongst the ugliness.
