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.

Dear Fingers
Her fingers, she wondered, what story were they typing? It certainly wasn’t the one her head was thinking. What was up with pesky ring fingers dancing for joy on keys, creating character strings and doing so with glee? Why oh … Continue reading

The Cat Brain Disconnect
In that public place where cat reporters like to shout, they plied me with questions before letting me out. They demanded details on the cat brain disconnect, so I smiled in my knowing and said, “Oh yeah, that. “It looks … Continue reading

Touch of Fear
Shadows and lightning, sounds not singing, but screaming instead, where a blade’s flash in the dark is cutting the dead. Fearing the beast, and its expectant feast, first on the menu a hapless prey, the one standing in your shoes … Continue reading

At Home with the Ghouls
Her house was haunted bliss after she opened the doors and invited the apparitions in. She treasured burials at night when faces disappeared only to return as ghostly white. Oh how she loved Puppy howling at the moon and Kitty … Continue reading

Butterfly Spit
Oh, drat, what was that, that, that that just spat? Aw, shit, it’s butterfly spit. Eek, the dread, it was on her head. What a wacky notion to gain attention, supposing beautiful bugs could be brutish thugs. Their time in … Continue reading

Kitty-Proof Christmas Tree
Dearest Santa, with your holiday wiles, know nothing of challenges, of holiday trials. You travel the globe each Christmas Eve, yet you’ve not designed the kitty-proof Christmas tree. Stockings, wreaths, less fun than branches. The night’s tolling tree bells forewarning … Continue reading

Oh yes, oh my, another day to pretend, another day to lie. Did I shut off the stove and all that stuff? Did I bury the bodies deep enough? Oh my, oh gee, must not let on, let them see. … Continue reading

The Vampire Blues
No tanning on the beach or I’m ashes on the news. Undead, gotta get a life, I’ve got the vampire blues. No skipping down the street on a sunny afternoon. No pulling up stakes after they’ve run me through. Missing … Continue reading

The One Story Element I Never Plan
This blog post might be a complete disaster, proving once and for all why I’ve procrastinated in writing it for a couple of years. The element of which I speak is humor (or humour, which my spellcheck doesn’t like). What … Continue reading
