Sung in the Shadows – Book 2 in The Art of Love and Danger
A historical romance with a focus on supporting those with mental illness
In nineteenth-century Cincinnati, fear keeps Nora Davis caged with secrets and lies. Her true identity as the daughter of a famous opera singer is too dangerous to reveal with her former captors still on the loose. But weekly singing lessons at Longview Asylum—her paranoid mother’s permanent residence—light a flame in Nora, and it’s one she can avoid fanning for only so long . . .

Hello, fellow reader! I’m Crystal.
Like most authors, I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, but I never thought I’d be on this publishing journey.
What began as a private escape grew into a calling to write faith-filled historical romance exploring what happens when impossible circumstances test my characters’ faith.
Now I write Gilded Age fiction, set mostly in Cincinnati, blending mystery, romance, and redemption—because even in the darkest moments, hope still has a voice.
