After graduating high school Chrystal tried on a few different hats for size, including waitress, collections representative, and daycare provider. In 2003, she attended a Microsoft Certified Systems Administration course and found she had a knack for computers.

A geek was born.

Chrystal spent over a year at Cumulus Broadcasting honing her technical skills and learning the ins and outs of show business. Though she grew up in a "radio family" and loved every minute of the live-by-the-minute lifestyle, she knew that bigger things waited for her back home. In 2005, she joined the Help Desk at The Boeing Company and found a home with her fellow technophiles. She is currently studying for her Associates Degree in Business and Information Systems.

No matter what hat she donned, Chrystal's first love has always been reading and writing. Beverly Clearly evolved into Christopher Pike, and later she favored the heftier John Saul and Dean Koontz novels. She wrote short stories and poems and even dabbled in journalism one semester in high school. Then, during Christmas break, she scoured her mother's bookshelf and found her first romance novel. Virginia Henley kept her enthralled for thirty-six hours straight and she never looked back.

Chrystal's first book, I'll Do Anything, was signed with Triskelion Publishing in August 2005. She loves what she does and she thanks God everyday for the gift of creativity that she has received and for the opportunity to share it with others.
