The sugar leapt up and twisted itself until it formed a castle with turrets as perky as meerkats... Griffin's rock band is about to have their big break. But when her lead guitarist and soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend throws a drug- and alcohol-induced El Screamo Thrasher Solo Temper Tantrum, he gets the band kicked out of the gig. She is devastated, and minus a lead guitarist. Enter the mysterious Rickenbacker, a restaurant manager with a tempting offer: if Griffin works in his restaurant making desserts, she can play in the house band, the Spurious Correlations, alongside Matteo: a super-talented lead guitarist. What Griffin doesn't know is Rickenbacker is a competitor in an Other Worldly Live Action Role Playing tournament. In order to win the championship, he has just two weeks to push her to the limit with dessert-making mayhem, enough to drive her to perform an unthinkable task, all without letting her suspect she's a pawn in his scheme. Griffin is yanked unwittingly into a frenzied fantastical world of music, magic and baking. She gets to make music with Matteo, the most perfect guy she has ever met, and she has never played with such a terrific band. It seems too good to be true! But making desserts for Rickenbacker is a nightmare. Is Matteo worth it? Well, he is awfully dreamy . . .

Autorenporträt
Krista started out as a singer, took up acting, studied Theatre at UVic, then eventually added writing to her creative endeavours. She grew up in the Port Coquitlam vortex, and so was naturally pulled back there after her time away. As a singer she has spanned several styles, having sung classical music for several years, then switched out and was part of jazz, rock and R&B bands for most of her career. She has been the vocalist for FAT Jazz for 427 years, and is half of a jazz duo called The Itty Bitty Big Band. She writes primarily Fantasy, but has dabbled in other genres, in both short and long fiction. Her Gatekeeper series is more traditional fantasy, while Griffin and the Spurious Correlations, inspired largely by her rock band era, is Contemporary Humour Fantasy Romance. Most recently she combined all her artistic exploits and discovered audiobook narration, with a little help from her friends, and then decided to start the podcast, [Totally Fantastic Title], which then branched into the production of her own audiobooks.
