    Crissa-Jean Chappell's Interests
GeneralI was born and raised in the "real" Miami...way down south...surrounded by vine-shrouded oaks and Quaker parrots in a wooden house in the jungle.

I write things:

My debut YA novel --TOTAL CONSTANT ORDER-- is now available from



HarperCollins.

I love teaching film and creative writing classes at the Art Institute downtown.

I know! I would have loved to have lived in the 20s-40s, height of the MGM musicals, but would have been troubled by the Depression and the World Wars...

Hey! I just posted your book trailer on my profile. I'll be posting various trailers of books I've read for my students all summer.
I want them to read and a little extra promo for my writer buddies is fun too!

Oh it was so AWESOME to meet you in person. LOL, It was a strange event..LOL

I'm telling you, when I heard your name, I was like, "Crissa!" LOL. Your book sounds so interesting. I've always been fascinated by OCD, and the various forms in which is shows itself. I think it's amazing you chose to write about a topic so many can really relate to. It speaks volumes about you as a person.

Thanks so much for going Saturday:) I've been telling everyone I got to meet you:)

HUGS and Weird Times..LOL

we sing
our heart-dreams
loudly into moonlit skies,
wishing upon flickers of light,
skipping our smooth hope-pebbles
along the wide ways of promise.

ripple, they do,
these echoed promises,
in thousands of shimmering circles
resonating our life’s expectancy

as we cast silken spun web-nets
trying to capture the elusive
understanding;

- – what it means
to be loved.
