Author & ARTIST

Kristina Bak

I write stories and novels for readers
age 12 to 112. My work has been described as
“cinematic,” which makes sense to me since I see what
I create first as a movie in my mind, then put it into words or pictures to share with you. My Visionary Fiction deals with the world we live in, and its often unseen, but not unreal qualities. The strange and unexpected––visions, metaphysical gifts, hauntings, natural phenomena––blend with the ordinary in the lives of my characters and their animal companions.

Today the Sky Is Working

On a late October hike I was thrilled to see the first snow of the season in our Oregon Cascades. I breathed in the clean, cold air perfumed with manzanita. As a friend commented, "The sky is working." This year, when we expected autumn, instead we did our best to...
