Do you find it difficult to keep your two identities separate or are they different enough in the two genres that it's easy-peasy?
Chris Marie Green
Hey, Vickie! Thank you so much for the question. :)
It's actually really easy to separate the pen names in my head. Chris Marie Green writes action, paranormal, and usually focuses on her female protagonist in "her" urban fantasies. Crystal Green is always going for the happy ending. The only time the two sort of blended together was when I wrote for Bombshell several years ago. (For those of you who don't know, Bombshell was a Silhouette women's action line that didn't last as long as I wish it had!) I wrote two books for them, one of which was my first urban fantasy (THE HUNTRESS). Since I wasn't writing as "Chris" at that time, I used my Crystal Green name, even though the ending for THE HUNTRESS wasn't a traditional romance happy ending. I also wrote a couple of vampire books for Blaze as Crystal Green, but those were definitely romances.
Thank you so much for being here and for reading!

Hello, I just discovered your Jensen Murphy books a couple of weeks ago and plan on buying all of them after my next paycheck. I have to say the idea of having a ghost as the main character is inspired. I was wondering, how many books do you plan to have in this series?

So I heard that there are no more Jensen books after Every Breath You Take. Really?
