“Tom, I will not be myself when I leave this room. Take my keys, call me by the name Orootho, and drive me into the Tennessee mountains—twenty minutes from the nearest person. Leave me there and wait in the truck until I return. If I’m not back by the peak of morning, I’m gone.”

“Don’t pull death,” she said with a smirk. “Or do. I could use a good rebirth.”

“They are one,” Rainn finished, her voice tremulous with devotion.
“Our miracle is coming,” they said together, like they’d rehearsed it.
Every page pulls you further into the dark…
“The first sign is a bloody nose. No pain. No warning. Second is the buzzing. If you hear it, you don’t stay. You leave town for the day. Just the day. You come back after midnight.”

Cayson’s voice cracked the air. “Rivi, please!” He lunged forward, but Lealie caught his arm before he could reach her.

One day, her anger overwhelmed her. She took the witch’s spell book and spoke the words born from hurt, cruelty, and rage, everything the village had poured into her.
About Me
I started Crystal Coast Media & Publishing because I wanted to take full ownership of my stories, the late nights, the rewrites, and the emotion poured into every page. Too many agencies wanted to profit from the hard work I put into writing, and I knew I could create something more personal and meaningful. So, I built my own company , a place where my stories could live freely and reach readers directly.
Most of my inspiration comes from North Carolina, the place where I grew up, had my heart broken, fell in love again, got married, and built a foundation. I always say I love my little NC, but through my stories, you can experience every corner of it without ever leaving home.
Crystal Coast Media and Publishing was created not just for my own books, but to give other authors a platform , one where they can share their voices and experiences with a company that truly cares. My dream is to grow this publishing house into a creative space for writers who deserve to be represented with honesty and respect.
For now, most of my books are sold exclusively through this website, and eventually will be complete with audio versions narrated by me and special guest voices to bring each story to life. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I’ve loved creating them. Each story is a piece of my heart, carried by the tide of North Carolina’s spirit.

Meet Our Mascots
At Crystal Coast Media and Publishing, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. Our two mascots represent not only our coastal roots but also the love, loyalty, and memories that inspire the stories we share.
Diamond 🌊📚
Diamond, our golden beach companion, was a beloved family dog who spent 15 wonderful years with us. She was loyal, gentle, and always close by—whether we were spending time outdoors or simply enjoying quiet moments at home.
Diamond represents the heart of storytelling—the memories we hold onto and the stories that stay with us long after time has passed. Though she has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, her spirit remains part of Crystal Coast Media and Publishing. She reminds us that the stories we love never truly leave us.
Tank 🐾⚡
Tank is our energetic new mascot and the dog of my uncle. At just six months old, he is already full of personality—vocal, curious, and a constant ball of energy.
Tank represents the future of storytelling—new ideas, fresh creativity, and the excitement that comes with every new book, author, and story we publish.
What They Represent
Together, Diamond and Tank symbolize two important parts of Crystal Coast Media and Publishing:
Diamond — The legacy of stories and memories
Tank — The excitement of new stories yet to be told
Just like our mascots, our mission is to honor the past while embracing the future of storytelling.
✨ From loyal companions to literary mascots, Diamond and Tank remind us that every great story begins with heart.
