Hi! I'm crystal. A storyteller, content and copywriter. And...YouTuber!
I love to write. I love to travel. So I've combined all my passions. I write quality content for businesses and avid book readers. And, I explore the world whenever I can.

What's keeping me busy?
I launched a YouTube channel! What started as daily readings from my novel Beauty Beneath the Banyan (Inanna Publications, 2012) has evolved into interviewing Canadian authors to find out the story behind their book. I love a great book and when you know what inspired an author to write it—even better. Be sure to check out my latest author interviews, fabulous writing tips and subscribe to my channel all about canadian books. When's my next novel coming out? I don't know but my manuscript Tears from the Sea (TFTS) was longlisted for the 2021 Guernica Prize Winner! Although I did not win, I am SO thankful to Guernica and thrilled to be included with such a distinguished group of writers. Soooo the query process continues. |
