Ann Crystal

Biography

Hello, thank you for wanting to know more about me and my work. My name is Ann Crystal and I am a self-published writer, poet, and crafter who lives in the City of Angels (Los Angeles, California).

From the time I could pick up a writing instrument I was writing...technically...since only my childhood mind could understand what it was that I was putting to paper. I am sure that those early stories amused me and that they were filled with the things of fairy tales.

Today, I have a mind cluttered with characters and their stories that are eager to be written about and drawn. Many of my works are centered on the genres of fantasy and supernatural, and you will find elements of environmental awareness and sometimes religious highlights from my Catholic upbringing.

I am a fourth-generation Californian, with a maternal lineage from the Tohono O'odham and Yaqui Natives of Arizona.

I wish to thank (thank you, thank you, thank you) my readers and my reviewers. Some sites do not allow for writers to communicate with their reviewers, and there may be reviewers of my work who I have not had the privileged to read about. Thank you.
