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.

Awakened Revelation
The clock ticking, seconds snickering telling her time was slipping away. Decisions, a dearth of opinions, trying to keep the nightmares at bay. Torment? Denials evident? She awoke in awakened revelation. Her troubling dreams weren’t what they seemed, they were … Continue reading

Hope, Purpose, and Kasaria
It’s time to talk about writing again. I could talk about the bad news circling the globe week after week, but I won’t. Not this week. After all, I’m a writer. I write. I’m also a writer who most often … Continue reading
