Part of Series
Jessica never thought it would go this far. Here she was, trapped in her own basement with a monster who’d already eaten one of her friends and couldn’t wait to sink its shadowy claws into her. She wasn’t anyone’s idea of a hero—a bookish computer nerd in way over her head. If she’d just ignored the visions. Ignored the way the laws of physics seemed to be wavering. Ignored the voice of the Gatekeeper inside her head showing her the arcane secrets of magic, she could be blissfully ignorant of the death and pain stalking her small town. But you can’t look away once you’ve seen real evil. She'd been shunned by her (former) best friends. Her name was a joke at school. Her parents thought she was either already on drugs, or should be. And, her only allies were just as fragile and confused as her. There's one thing this killer from the past hadn’t counted on... When the going gets weird, the tough are useless. You need a geek.
Author
I write a mix of fantasy and science fiction with my co-author (and life partner) Rebecca Brae. We have 2 books published so far (Mist Warden series) and we're finishing up two stand-alone books. We're supposed to be working on Mist Warden book 3 but we adopted a baby instead! Some of the writers that inspire me today are Lois McMaster Bujold, Sarah Zettel, Tess Sharpe. These authors take on tough questions about what it means to be moral and the destiny of humanity without flinching. They inspire me to be a better person, as well as a better writer. In just the past few millennia humans have moved from chipping tools out of stones to space exploration and printing replacement organs. Every step on that path was driven by someone's imagination. My goal as an author is to bring back a sense of optimism. The dark side of our natures will always be with us but I’m convinced that humanity has an amazing future ahead.
