November is promo month for #ZCN&Friends! I’ll be sharing fun facts and behind-the-scenes looks on the first book, which is available now!
This series is near and dear to my heart, chronicling my lifelong journey of surviving & coming to terms with abuse as well as being trans and multiple

Tabbitha is the MC of IPM. Although, the supporting characters, her family, are also developed a little. But everything revolves around Tabbitha, and she narrates from her POV. Here’s a rough idea of how she looks, made in Avatar Factory.

Possible book cover for IPM except I hate it lol

A sample of the diverse characters featured in Book 2 of ZCN & Friends! Imaginationville has a lot of fun side characters that play important roles in the story! It also helps build the world and its culture! I always have fun making characters. More info to come!

RSNBS is based off my own experiences taking singing lessons as a late transition trans man in their 30’s. And learning the hard way that good singing requires you to tackle all your deep-seeded trauma and confidence issues. RSNBS is about feminism issues and learning how to be a man

Everything always changes. Friends, life, perspectives, relationships. Cera hates it. Why does everything always have to be ruined? Will her new life be ruined, too?

Magical realism
Meta-narrative about revision/revising your life and self
Mental health advocacy
Dark humor

Promo for ZCN & Friends: The Angel’s Curse.

The ZCN series has a lot of imagery and metaphors tied to prairies (and nature, in general).

From ZCN & Friends book 2
Zena gets lots of headaches trying to remember her childhood and other things from the past

From ZCN & Friends book 2!
There is a lot of contrast between the real and imaginary world in this book

From chapter 8 of ZCN & Friends Book 2! The whole chapter is about prairie plants and flowers. The ending is my favorite.

This is from ZCN & Friends: The Angel’s Curse! Zena is attuned with the water element.

Hello, all! I am ~CRK, an indie author who writes genre-less, character-driven stories about mental health and trauma healing. My biggest project is the ZCN & Friends series, which talks about my own life adventure in finding myself, healing from abuse, and loving myself as Multiple.

Currently writing:
Subtle, Flowing Changes! (SFC🍁)

A comedic slice of life/coming-of-age about Cera, who hates change. Magical realism with a side of unreliable narrator.
Fun fact: I took the photo for the cover. The shadow is me lol It was a tree near my neighborhood!
