Greetings from the northwoods of New England. My name is Faith, and I write high fantasy. I am an avid reader, artist, and musichead. I am inspired by plant and animal lore, Northern European legend and mythology, fairy tales, mythical creatures, and medieval warfare. My house is stuffed with books and a raft of houseplants crowding the southern windows where the sun is. And I dote like a fairytale witch on my old gardens, live-planted aquariums, and one right spoiled cat.

“Gardens are made of darkness and light entwined.”
F.T. McKinstry, Crowharrow

“The older a wizard grows, the more silent he becomes, like a woody vine growing over time to choke a garden path, deep and full of moss and snakes, running everywhere, impenetrable.”
F.T. McKinstry, Crowharrow

“In the calm, deep waters of the mind, the wolf waits.”
F.T. McKinstry, Water Dark

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”
Anatole France

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Albert Einstein

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.”
Lloyd Alexander

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
Philip K. Dick, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon

Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
