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.

The Possible Impossible
Growing up, told, “No,” or told, they really didn’t care, and so, she took advantage of neglect, dared to dream, to imagine possible the impossible. Threatened men angered, for them she dumbed down, ending opinions with, “I don’t know,” when … Continue reading

The Way Home
In a storm of infinite chaos, she was who she was, but didn’t know who she was. She knew honesty, knew the truth. She wasn’t being honest with herself. Beneath the intimate fears, she knew she was a she, a … Continue reading
A Sleep. A Dream. An Idea.
Fantastical pneuma, where imagination left floating in perpetual motion became the stars of night lodged in her eyes. Her dancing, turning the darkness into creative delight where incantation was inspiration, a sleep, a dream, an idea. Watercolor oscillations, flowing on … Continue reading

The Moon and Stars
She breathed the remains of a night cloaked in creativity, the tea’s steam transforming shadows where the moon’s silver soothed. She sipped. The keyboard whispered. The cat purred. Beyond the pane, the stars reassured. Oh how the enchanted hours embraced … Continue reading

My Writing Fuel
Here I am on the other side of having accomplished what I’d had doubts I’d be able to do. I drafted the last two books in the Carrdia series back-to-back. I also did it in less time than I’d allotted. … Continue reading
The Cost
It was a job, time spent with tasks to do for someone else, repetitive meaninglessness stealing her creativity. It was security, providing benefits unless she needed them, the biggest benefit of all the dreams where she was somewhere else. It … Continue reading

Wasting Time
Her heart a creator’s. Her hands holding a gift, a golden orb. Time, a treasure not to be wasted, yet she set it aside to save. Each day, every day, at midnight, inspiration would become dust. Each morn, every morn, … Continue reading
