Crystal A. Proxmire is a Ferndale native who left in 1997 to earn her bachelor's degree in Advertising and Public Relations from Grand Valley State University.  While there she also studied psychology and political science.  She created and managed a community newspaper in Muskegon, MI and wrote a couple psychological thrillers before returning back home to start her own consulting business.  

Proxmire provides volunteer and low-cost creative services to help those with small businesses or nonprofit groups overcome their communications problems.
She is your typical weird writer chick who spends as much time as humanly possible trying to get down on paper all the silly ideas in her head.  She is skilled in everything from news reporting, to creative nonfiction, literature, and poetry, to many forms of advertising.  She is co-author of FTM Book Volume One: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life, which will be available in Spring of 2009 through The Muskegon 115 Press.  

When not writing, Proxmire enjoys photography, breaking into abandoned buildings, acting as an extra in movies, and doing odd jobs just for fun.
