About Crystal L. Kirkham
Crystal L. Kirkham resides in a small hamlet west of Red Deer, Alberta. She is an avid outdoors person, unrepentant coffee addict, part-time foodie, servant to a wonderful feline, and companion to several delightfully hilarious canines - Treble and Freddie, the Standard Poodles, and Nahni, the Australian Shepherd. Crystal has published novels across several genres and is a contributing author to multiple best-selling anthologies.
She will neither confirm nor deny the rumours regarding the heart in a jar on her desk or the bottle of readers' tears right next to it. However, she will confirm that she once broke the metal handle to a 4-tonne car jack with her bare hands.

But when those you love are considered forbidden, what do you do?
Samir Amin has dedicated his life in service to the Nergal, an ancient organization that monitors and polices the inter-dimensional beings on our world and the magic that summons them. The only dark
mark on his career is his close friendship with Anela Masterson—a being that was long ago trapped in a human body and forced to live near powerless in our world.
When Anela introduces him to Keeler Lim, another being trapped like her, on the condition he keeps it a secret from the Nergal, he does so reluctantly. Things only become more complicated when Anela is kidnapped by a madman who wants to release her darkness on the world and, unwilling to be forced to stand on the sidelines, Samir asks Keeler to help him find and rescue her.
It is a decision that causes Samir to be faced with a choice between love and duty—and it could cost him his life.
Shannon is a researcher at an observatory located near Canadian Forces Station Alert, a remote listening post and the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world. When a visiting reporter falls ill with a mysterious illness, the station gets put on lockdown as the rest of the world deals with the spread of the same strange illness attributed to a new, tropical parasite.
As those around her fall, she must figure out a way to survive in the deep darkness of an arctic winter.
Love candle in hand, she visualises Enzo, walking toward her, his body strong and lithe, rather than broken and bloody as she’d last seen him. Having already asked forgiveness for what she’d done, the imagined look on his face was one of love and acceptance. Harnessing that love, she wrapped both hands around the candle and placed it into a lovely wrought iron pentagram holder. Once she evoked the necessary protection for her spell, she glanced at the grimoire again, hoping her Gaelic was up to the task, hoping she was up to the task. She slid the blade of her athame across the palm of her hand, held it over her mirror, and recited the chant. A dark orb rose…then another…and another… Izzy’s gaze flew to the grimoire, landing on a single phrase. A drop of blood—she glanced at the mirror, counted the drops…eleven…twelve… She jerked her hand away as the last drop plopped on the surface…thirteen… She leapt to her feet and spun around to find Enzo, and twelve other figures – there, but not there. Transparent. Feet not quite touching the floor. And looking pissed as hell. Thirteen authors tell dark, disturbing, and creepy tales of thirteen apparitions bent on revenge from love gone wrong.
