Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Crystal Crawford writes YA fantasy (and a smattering of other genres) in Florida, where every natural body of water hides something that could eat you, and if they don't get you, the weather might. She lives with her husband and their four kids, who support her dream of writing and drinking far too much coffee. When she isn't writing, she enjoys napping, reading, playing video games, watching shows with her family, and recording secret singing videos in her closet, though most days you'll find her doing laundry and homeschooling the kids.
