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.

Defeating the Self-Editing Monster

Dear Fingers

Magnetic
Magnetism, such a silly word, all that pushing and pulling when the living aren’t metal. Romance, it was anything but magnetic, till the force pulling her ahead said she was the silly one. Inside, attraction was a glittering force, anticipating … Continue reading

Dream Dancing
