“Change is the oldest kind of magic.”And this month, we’ve had plenty of it.
Between moving the entire CRBooks.ink site to a new host and shifting the newsletter to a better platform, we’ve been knee-deep in lantern oil and late-night code. But even amidst the chaos, we’re still telling stories—and featuring great ones too.
Let’s catch you up.
🌐 We’ve Upgraded Our Website
CRBooks.ink is now faster, sleeker, and (finally) aligned with the shadow-and-starlight vibe we’ve always dreamed of.
You’ll find:
An easier way to download books and samples
Dedicated pages for each book series
A growing hub for services like book cover design and author site consulting
🔗 Visit the site: CRBooks.ink
📧 New Platform, Same Soul
We’ve also moved the Shadows & Starlight newsletter to a new system.If the formatting looks different, or the layout is a little experimental, bear with us—we’re adjusting the lighting one lantern at a time.
📚 Featured Read: Don’t Fade Away by Natalie Pearce
A ghost. A guy. A mystery that won’t stay buried.
Elle’s been haunting her old same house for years, quietly crushing on longtime roommate Dean. The problem? He can’t see her. But when new housemate Ethan moves in and starts to sense her… things change.
Together, they begin to uncover the chilling truth behind her death—and if they don’t act fast, Elle might fade away for good.
A perfectly spooky blend of ghostly romance, gentle humor, and mystery. Think Heartstopper meets The Sixth Sense.
