Celia Ralk - Fantasy Author

You may or may not have noticed an absence on my part of late - I fear it's only going to get worse 😅 I have some exciting stuff happening in 2026, however limited my calendar may seem, my time will be filled and attention completely taken, so my priorities are shifting
I'll be back with something just as magical and beautifully heartbreaking in the future, but for now, it's all happening in the background. I'm officially taking time off
Thank you all so goddamn much for an incredible year, a phenomenal journey to becoming and growing as an author and for all your support in the process. My heart is full 💗
Stay safe this season, I wish you all only the best of blessings

🌈

We have a completed trilogy baby!

The Crooked Crowns Trilogy is my dark fantasy story full of banter, pain, tears, love and found family. ♥️

If you're in need of ugly sobbing check out this trilogy and please drop into my dms 😂

✨3 years ago today✨
I was passenger princess on a drive interstate for the third time in 24 hours, exhausted, desperate for somewhere to live and listening to whatever radio station was in range in the middle of nowhere when my brain did the maladaptive daydream thing. There was a girl, a lot of snow, a car accident and magic.
That particular scene doesn't exist, but it did spark an entire trilogy that I think has done quite well. I haven't sold out over and over, or even sold hundreds of copies, truthfully I don't know how many I've sold. What I have done though, is make lifelong friendships and beautiful relationships. I've given people joy and made them ugly cry, I've sparked emotion which is insane. Words I wrote made people feel things, truly and deeply. It's incredible
I've made a childhood dream turn into a reality and I could not be more proud, so on this strange little anniversary (because I don't remember when I started writing, but I remember when I had the first thought, go figure) I thought I should celebrate

It's out 🫣 the trilogy is complete, Clara's story is done 👀 my debut is over
I'm so fcking proud of myself and couldn't be more thankful of everyone who has helped get me to this point. You know who you are, I hope you also know how invaluable you've been

At this point, there's nothing left to say except get yourself a copy and read the damn thing 👏🏻✨

🌈

I cannot believe that in two short days, my debut trilogy will be complete and out in the big bad world 🫣👀 make sure you come and join me at .collection Saturday from 10:00-12:00 for the launch!!
In the meantime, enjoy two of the songs that highly influenced and inspired the Crooked Crowns series (mostly Rumours honestly)
Do you want the playlist??

WE ARE FOUR DAYS AWAY FROM RELEASE!

ARE YOU READY?!

The Crooked Crown trilogy is almost completed and features so many amazing things

And so much more

So I wasn't tagged but I saw do this trend and went "oooh I could do that" so with the looming end of my debut trilogy, enjoy my lil 3 hearts trend
❤️🩵❤️‍🩹
Full transparency - I did think one of those red hearts was darker than it is 😂

This audio is also incredibly fitting for just about every character in the trilogy - if you haven't started yet (first of all, what are you even waiting for????) I recommend xo

Fancy a preorder?? ✨🥀👑
I'll admit I've been super lazy this time round (I've had a lot going on, and has been a GODSEND) but preorders are available if you want one? I've got some fun little art and merchy bits and pieces to throw in for all preordered copies
