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.

Spring Dread
Oh the misery, oh the dread, knowing the bugs are coming and some will have eight legs. They’ll laugh, they’ll jest, winking too many eyes and building too many webs. So fiendishly evil, like the undead, they’ll relish their spinning … Continue reading

What If SpellCheck Was More Interactive?
Okay, it’s time I addressed SpellCheck. Well, actually, the red underline beneath words. It crossed my mind that it’s hostile, even angry. A case could be made that’s judgmental, that it’s telling me I’m a failure, not good enough. Yes, … Continue reading

Killing Tale
Killing mice is no small thing, no trivial thing, and not to be taken lightly. And that is why I tell no lies about mice who die daily. I’m just a cat who likes to chat and that’s putting it … Continue reading

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

Compulsion
There shouldn’t be edges in the world, she wanted to align them, better that life be wild, all the world curves. There shouldn’t be strings, you know, strings hanging off things, stealing her sleep till they were trimmed. There shouldn’t … Continue reading
