Crystal Klimavicz

Crystal began her career in executive sales and went on to earn a Master's degree in Healthcare Business, before turning to writing women's fiction novels, teaching workshops, and manuscript editing.

Her love of story and a personal, family tragedy encouraged her to write her debut novel, Falling Through Trees, in the Kate Fox series. The second book, This Side of Perfect, picks up in the characters' lives one year later with equal family emotion and drama.

She has also ghostwritten memoirs, produced a compilation of 'life stories' for 15 pre-centennials, and has been a contributor for numerous magazines including Daniel Island Life, Occasions Guide, and What to Wear.

Crystal has lived in Kyiv, Ukraine, served as board president of IWCK (International Women's Club of Kyiv) and travelled extensively. She's written/taught professional development classes stateside and overseas and volunteers often with a heart for giving back.

From Portland (ME) to Atlanta, Ukraine to Charleston, she has recently returned to Maine to her family and roots with husband and their two children, where she continues to write dramatic stories, and helps others develop and polish their own.
