Business Copywriter, Published Author, Poet, and Lyric/Songwriter 

Founder of the Laugh at Cancer Support Community.

Hi, my name is Crystal Kauffman (Pen Name: Imogen Rayne) and this is a little bit about me. Currently, I am a freelance author and copywriter with over 8 years of writing experience. Recently, I graduated with an Associate Degree in Business Arts with the University on Phoenix online. Now, I am earning a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and writing in my free time.

Today, I have over 400+ published articles on different websites. These article are available for purchase. I will also consider writing for hire, part time or full time.In addition, all proceeds from my articles will use to keep or community alive and growing.

Please follow the links at the bottom, in order to view my online portfolio. I love to write about true stories for children and adults. Right now, I am working on my first two novels for children. However, it is coming along slow because I don’t get much free time. 

On a Personal Note:

I am a proud wife, mother of three beautiful children, and a handsome stepson. Thankfully, I will be celebrating my six-year anniversary of being a cancer survivor in April 2008. The aggressive treatment left me disabled, which has made it harder to find employment.

I am actively seeking full-time employment with a company, who can allow me to work from home. Luckily, I was blessed with a second chance to live out my dreams. As a cancer survivor, I have developed a passion for helping others that had been touched by cancer.

Upon speaking with cancer survivors, I learned that a lot of families were struggling due to cancer’s cruel touch. Three years ago, I stared the Laugh at Cancer Support Community here in my home town. I met many wonderful people, but we had a hard time reaching more members.

About three months ago, I moved the group online with the help of Ning.com. Now, we are blessed and growing support community. We are a work in progress and we hope to help everyone who has been touched by cancer. Come by and celebrate life with us, while meeting many wonderful friends.

In addition, feel free to make yourself at home, because this is your community too.

Let's make a difference together...

My Grandpa and Me...

I would like to honor my grandpa, Isom "Ray" Plyler, for his many contributions to this support group and to the ministry. He lost his life to cancer in June 2007. I miss him so much! He will always be "More than a Papa" to me.

Thank you for the memories we shared. I'll never forget what you taught me. 

The greatest man I ever knew!
