The novels are out again! :)
I'm so excited, guys. After over a year, I'm finally getting my novels republished!
*Surreal Ecstasy (God Generation #1) With new cover!
(UBL: https://books2read.com/surreal1)
A young woman, Morgan, is overcoming a violent relationship, recreational ecstasy use, and a lonely life to free herself from her inner demons, then learns about the existence of the God Generation and meets a wonderful man who is part of this supernatural phenomenon. (women's fiction; paranormal romance)
*Surreal Enemies: Angel City (God Generation #2) With new cover!
(UBL: https://books2read.com/surreal2 )
Recovering from dating violence and ecstasy addiction, Morgan has a fresh start with a famous, ex-guardian-angel boyfriend and encounters friendship, pregnancy, jealousy, childbirth, old wounds, enemies, and death as expected of someone associated with the unpredictable God Generation. (women's fiction; paranormal romance)
*DayDreamer (DayDreamer #1)(UBL: https://books2read.com/dreamer1)
16-year-old Kayla discovers that her quiet California mountain town is actually the residence for many mythological beings who have taken human form. Their children, whose powers differ, are known as Lyziccs, but Kayla didn’t even know what Lyziccs were, never mind that she is one. She’s having enough trouble juggling dating two of the cutest boys at school. (YA paranormal romance/comedy; contains no profanity or adult situations.)
We also have the audio book version of DayDreamer coming soon! :)
*Sandgirl's Dream (DayDreamer #2) (UBL: https://books2read.com/dreamer2)
Kayla’s parents are kidnapped, leaving her and Pearl alone and worried. Thankfully, fraternal twin hotties Hale and Collin open their vast underground home to them. But it’s hard for Kayla to enjoy this closeness to Hale when she also has a best friend who’s been avoiding her and a less-than-sane mythological grandfather. Not to mention that her new boyfriend’s mother wants to kill her because of some ancient pact! (YA paranormal romance/comedy; contains no profanity or adult situations.)
*Single short story - available now!
Sharliss: A Word From a Doormat (UBL: https://books2read.com/Sharliss)
Refusing to be a virtual doormat to her cousin, date, and the world is easier than one introverted woman thinks. (chick lit)
I also have a new short story coming out. Once I'm able to, I'll post more about this anthology. My story is a funny YA with just a touch of chills. Also fun because it's from a male POV. I think you guys will like this one, so stay tuned for more and definitely follow my FB so you won't miss it. :) https://www.facebook.com/AuthorChriss...

Sandgirl's Dream is out!

It has been over 2 years since I've had a book release - creating some pretty fun short stories in the meantime - but I really feel SANDGIRL'S DREAM was worth the wait! :)

Sandgirl's Dream is Completed!
I am exhausted but happy as I write this, so you'll forgive me if I have typos. I can barely see the words on the screen; it would be a miracle these sentences make sense, if I am able to return to being a fully-functioning person after this.
DayDreamer 2, also known as Sandgirl's Dream, is finally complete. It's a sequel that will read as a standalone and, like its predecessor, is suitable for young women to read. I think it really takes ownership of the Lyzicc world that I have created and displays its blossoms for everyone to see.
I started writing this book back in 2013, just as I was in the middle of writing DayDreamer. (Now that I think of it, it's very possible I started writing it even earlier than that, but I am far too tired to look it up to know for sure.) Three (or more) years in creating this story. I hope you like it when it comes out.
My next project is to work on Surreal 3, some short stories, and some other surprise projects. :)

Creating My Debut Novel
#FunFact - The working title for my debut novel was Surreal Desolation. However, in that instant I decided that my novels would be uplifting, not depressing. Being a very emotional person myself, I was determined to inject positive, fulfilled feelings into my major works.
Another fun fact - My debut novel was originally a YA book. It was going to be about a young girl who was a medium, but her mother didn't believe in her gifts and just thought she was nuts.
But then I got inspiration out of nowhere for the book's opening scene, and began writing it down (in handwriting, because I didn't have my laptop yet). I soon realized that this young woman was drugged out and had hit rock bottom. I also realized she was a victim of domestic abuse and had an unloving mother. Basically, she was alone in the world.
I knew then that Surreal Ecstasy would be women's fiction, and that it would be an adult book, a very revealing account of a person coming to terms with her inner demons before having to deal with literal ones. I also wanted to reach out to people who feel like they are lost spiritually and emotionally, and let them know that they are not alone, because I have been there. <3

Surreal #2
Just a few things about Surreal Ecstasy's sequel, which is currently in progress!
1. Morgan finally tells off her judgmental, verbally-abusive mother.
2. She is somehow able to talk to the spirit of her father. Excerpt:
He laughed, and upon hearing that I realized how much I had longed for his presence, how much I’d missed him over the years, even while he was still alive.
My daddy. I just wanted to spend time with him there, spend time being his little girl.
3. One-sentence summary:
SURREAL ENEMIES is a story about the war of good and evil inside all of us, and the powerful, unforgettable force of parental love.

DayDreamer coming 10/18/13! (YA)
Kayla’s sixteen and a half. And she’s Lyzicc. That means her birth parents are ancient mythos creatures who've been hiding out on Earth.
She has no idea who they are.
All she knows is that she has a strange new power that shows her the daydreams of others.

Collin comes from a family whose dark obsession with the Lyzicc Community keeps Kayla guessing about his true intentions.
Join Kayla as she hunts for the truth about herself and tries to survive high school at the same time!
