What Cristy Watson does not mention in her bio, and the reason we “know” each other, is that she was one of the contestants in the Coffee Shop Author Contest I ran for a couple of years, and that her entry also placed in the first year. Over this break for the holidays, she hopes to finish book two of the fantasy trilogy for middle-grade and YA readers that she began writing during NANOWRIMO 2019. She also hosts a literary Open Mic in her local community, and she volunteers every year with the Surrey International Writer’s Conference, and with the Beach House Theatre in the summer. Cristy loves hiking in the mountains and enjoying leisurely strolls by the beach. She is passionate about teaching and writing and enjoys when the two passions overlap. Room 555 and Unlocked are my newest releases!Ĭristy Watson is an award-winning author of eight accessible novels for young people, and has three self-published chapbooks of poetry, with poems recently published in The Poetry Marathon Anthology, and CV2. I feel privileged to now have eight accessible novels published by Orca Books and Formac/Lorimer Publishers.


The Orca Currents and Soundings Series, and the Lorimer Sidestreets are perfect for this YA audience. I have worked with a Young Adult population for most of my career and I wanted to help readers find books to enjoy that were both at a level they could manage and that shared interesting and pertinent themes. I host open mic at my local coffee shop and enjoy entering poetry contests.
