Holy Crackers and Cream Cheese! Oh, Mylanta! You’re here!
What’s up? My name is Crystal Allen and I write books for middle-graders. Go ahead and be nosey, that’s right, get all in my Kool-aid even if you don’t know the flavor! It’s okay.
Find everything, like how to get in touch with me, my events schedule and other things you may want to know. But seriously, chil’ax, lean back, and enjoy my website, especially since I built it for you!
Later!
Crystal
