Crystal has anxiety, a cat, a lot of books, and is neurospicy—which makes her really good at research but really bad at deadlines and social interaction.

Crystal D. Budy has a Master's degree in psychology and utilizes her knowledge to develop flawed, layered characters.

She lives just outside Cleveland, Ohio with her husband of nearly twenty years and their clingy black cat, Monkey.

An avid reader since childhood and writer since she was old enough to pick up a pen, she enjoys writing (and reading) about romance and mystery, particularly when they're combined.

She looks forward to sharing stories of love, laughter, mystery, and kinky spice (sometimes all at the same time!) with you, and hopes you'll enjoy her quirky characters as much as she does.
