Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I
emerge from the darkness of the ship’s interior to the gray, overcast sky of
the main deck. Pulling my dark pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red
tendrils of my hair. I walk slowly to the railing overlooking the water.
I catch my first sight of the Irish coastline; its craggy
landscape makes me shiver in dread. I find it difficult to imagine now how the
Gancanagh had made this their home for so long without anyone realizing it. The
cold, moss-covered edifices practically scream their presence. As I study the
shadows between the falling-down stone, I imagine creeping shapes of undead
Faeries grasping the rock, waiting for our ship to draw nearer to their
position.
Tipping my face up, I let the rain wash over me. It
bathes away the frigid sweat of fear that has broken on my brow. “You don’t
know how fiercely beautiful you are, do you?” A quiet voice behind me asks,
causing me to stiffen and fix my eyes on the rocks along the shoreline
I absolutely love this cover. The castle in the background and the ref feather at the front focus your eyes straight to the middle of the cover. I tlooks haunted and give me such an eerie feeling. Love it.

THE AUTHOR
I live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons. My family is very supportive of my writing. When I’m writing, they often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner. They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re real. They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats. They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making. They have learned to accept my “writing uniform” consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants. And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them. In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed.
