Crystal Cestari, an up and coming writer with a couple of books under her belt, lives in the city of Chicago and has been interested in writing ever since she was in the 5th grade. Her interest in writing stems from the fact that she likes reading a lot, and derives a lot of delight from being able to tell stories. She has always loved to share what she loves doing with the rest of the world, which is the reason why you will always find her with a notebook, and a pen. For her, this is the easiest way to ensure that she remembers her ideas for use later on, and is less intimidating compared to staring at a blank computer screen.

To-date, she believes that her younger (elementary self) was a wise student, and still uses what she learned from her earlier school days in her work. Crystal Cestari currently resides on the outskirts of Chicago with her young daughter. Her primary likes are bulldogs and ice-cream, with the major dislikes being wearing wet sneakers on linoleum and the span associated with broccoli.

In the best kind of magic, author Crystal Cestari introduces the audience to Amber Sand, who is described as not being a witch.

Amber is distressed by the fact that she has started to fall for Charlie. Her distress lies in the fact that as much as she is unable to see her own match, she is able to see Charlie’s match, and it just so happens that it is not her!
