About

Over 20 years ago Wannabe ballerina K. Crumley hung up her point shoes, and sat down at the typewriter. A long-time lover of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, Brothers Grimm, and Oscar Wilde led her to create stories of her own.  The most notable was The Golden Rose.  Crumley enrolled in Writer's Digest School for short fiction writing and improved her craft.  Ms. Crumley branched out, and began to create horror stories like Carousel, and more mature stories such as the novella Wishful Thinking, in which the protagonist is coincidentally a ballerina. 

Does K. Crumley ever regret her changing careers, from dancing to writing.  In a word:  No.

"It's all up from here"  Crumley states, as she launches her own small press Dragondreamz Publications, along with the quarterly periodical Full Armor Magazine.

Story Behind The Book

This story started out as a teen mystery when I was in college, with only two sisters both orphaned. The one sister is accused of killing her fiance... It was on the back burner for quite a while, because I actually preferred writing fantasy to typical coming of age stories. Then, years ago I had a dream that I turned into a faerie...which breathed new life into an old idea. I wrote the first chapter as an for a writing contest...to which I wound up not entering. Instead, I kept developing my idea...adding two more sisters; and a family dilemma inspired by real life controversy. Most of the characters are inspired by artwork of Amy Brown, Jessica Galbreth, and Ruth Thompson. The home of the Etherwood sisters was inspired by a gorgeous estate in Oakmont, PA which I always adored. The character Cayden was inspired by my own sister, who was just like her at that age. Xandria was partially inspired by the character Shannon on Lost. A sequel is in the works....
