A Little Backstory

I'm Caitrin C. King (but most people call me CC), a California-based writer with a love for stories that keep readers turning pages. ​

There's usually a story rattling around in my head, a book within reach, and at least one character making my life more complicated. 

My Writing

I write fiction across genres, from suspense and fantasy to young adult. Novels are currently my jam, but I also love short stories, flash fiction, and anything in between. 

​

What draws me to storytelling is the chance to explore complicated characters, unexpected twists, and the endless possibilities of what if? I'm fascinated by the choices people make (yes, even you!), the secrets they keep, and the ways seemingly ordinary of lives can take unexpected turns.

​I have an MFA in Creative Writing and years of experience as a writer. I still love love taking writing workshops and reading books on the craft, though. The more I write, the more I realize just how much there is to learn. And I love that!

Beyond the Page

When I'm not working on a story, you'll probably finding me hiking, searching for my next vintage typewriter, or attempting to crochet something that doesn't end in a tangled mess. 

​

I share my home with a super supportive spouse (thank you, L!), a yard full of birds, bees, and bottlebrush, and a veggie garden that seems determined to defy my efforts.​

​I'm glad you stopped by! Take a minute to explore Books & Beyond, where I share occasional thoughts on writing, reading, and life. Oh, and sometimes another author drops by to write a guest post or answer my questions in an author interview. 

​

And if you'd like to say hello, I'd love to hear from you!
