Crystal J. Bell

Crystal has been telling stories in one way or another since she was a little girl. Be it to anyone who would listen as an unintelligible three-year-old, poetry in middle school, fan fiction, short stories, a (terrible) romance book in high school, or videos in college, she’s always wanted to connect to others through storytelling. After graduating from CSU with a Bachelor of Arts, she dedicated herself to writing fantasy and horror books, her true passion of becoming a published author the compass she followed. She hasn’t looked back since.
She loves all things poignant and beautiful and has a special place in her heart for the eerie and frightening. Each October she applies special effects makeup to make things a little more interesting (or bloody) and creates eerie photoshoots/videos with friends and family. When she’s not writing, plotting out and designing monsters, reading, or celebrating the best month of the year, she’s at the reservoirs on her stand-up paddleboard, filming/photographing weddings, drinking all the lattes, gardening, or in the kitchen cooking with her husband. A Colorado local, she lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her husband and fur babies. Her debut young adult novel, The Lamplighter, was released spring 2024 by Flux Books. Publications
