Pen name: Alina J Delare. Emergency Dispatcher by day. Mother by day and night. Writer in the quiet between the chaos.

I write stories where the magic is messy, the light isn't always pure, and love-of any kind-is the most dangerous thing you can offer. My work leans into slow-burn emotional arcs, found family, soul-deep bonds, and the kind of magic that breaks before it heals.

Crystal Bound is my debut novel, told in chapters. It's not a forever-serial. It's a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end-just released one heartbeat at a time. If you're here for layered characters, broken systems, sparkle-fueled rebellion, and the quiet hope that light can still win... welcome. You're exactly where you belong.
