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.

One Step, Last Step
One step, then another in the fog, someone behind mimicking each one. One step, a sudden stop to listen, someone behind taking one step too many. One step, then another in the dark, what’s unseen behind keeping pace. One step, … Continue reading

Walking the Edge that is Adding Mystery
Everything you don’t know is a mystery. Too, mystery adds tension and encourages involvement. Most writers know that so there’s little mystery there. What’s perhaps too often a missed, though, is that it can be a knife-edge walk between being … Continue reading
A Mystery at Every Table
Sipping fantasy at a secluded café, intrigue in her dreams, winks and sighs and someone dies, they order another drink. Mascaraed gazes in the afternoon, film noir at night, delicious mysteries over a wineglass rim, it’s a poison lip delight. … Continue reading
