Christina Anne Hawthorne
Christina Anne Hawthorne
Alive and well in the Rocky Mountains. I'm a fantasy writer who also dabbles in poetry, short stories, and map making. My Ontyre tales are an alternative fantasy experience, the stories rich in mystery, adventure, and romance. Alternative fantasy? Not quite steampunk. Not quite gothic. In truth, the real magic is in those who discover what's within.

Gray
It was a theory, pages torn asunder. She cupped wasted ashes in her hands, spreading them over her heart. Gray, it was passion’s fire after, breathing when it no longer mattered. Horns beckoned in the background. She took them to … Continue reading

Real
The air wasn’t there… she breathed rhapsody. Touch lingered in quivering echo, ecstasy holding tight. Gossamer strands of light, lips caressing. Intimacy with rays. Discovering what it was to feel. Had she become real? Lacerating had been bleeding herself alive. … Continue reading
