What I know or think I know about Crystal

Crystal is a published author or 20 books. The contract prohibited publishing works anywhere else.

I had lunch with Crystal in April 2018. There I learned about a previous bout with cancer and a major computer crash. That crash lost all the older software used in writing. In 2008 his first book was published and that has been his sole income. The latest book was supposed to come out in 2021 but was not published. At the time he said he was having trouble getting suitable cover art.

The author's website has been offline for a long time.
Both phone numbers I had for him are disconnected.
His house has changed ownership last year.
Bloggers searching for him report that he has been placed in assisted living.

Only the assisted living I have not confirmed.
