I'm so excited to finally share with you my new book, THE GIRL FROM COLDRIVER, up on Amazon this week! This is a 285 page YA contemporary fantasy, a coming-of-age story in the same vein as Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and Kami Garcia's Beautiful Creatures. Here's a brief synopsis:
When city boy Drew comes to small-town Coldriver to live
with his Gran, the most exciting thing he can hope for is to finally play
center on the high school basketball team.
Instead he discovers that Coldriver isn’t like anywhere else on
earth. Ruled by the ley lines that
intersect the town and the magical power of the arts, the people of Coldriver
hold to a different set of values. In this
twisted reality statues come to life, music can literally blow your socks off,
ballet is king, and a mere poem can kill.
Against this strange and unexpected backdrop, Drew meets
Cadence. At first she seems like the
perfect all-American girl. She’s
gorgeous, smart—she even plays violin in the school orchestra—and they seem to
click perfectly. But when Drew discovers
that Cady is next in line for the matriarchal power of the clan that rules the
town, he is drawn swiftly into a labyrinth of danger. Someone’s trying to kill Cady, and now it
looks like they’re after him, too.
Together with his new best friend and basketball sidekick,
Banjo, Drew goes on a quest to discover what’s really going on in
Coldriver. Spurred by his own weird
dreams about a long-dead Russian girl and a glowing green stone, Drew finds
himself in a race against the clock to save Cady. Unless he can discover a way to reverse the
magic, Cady’s fate as the next Matushka on the sundown of her seventeenth
birthday will be sealed. And with a cast
of crazy Stepanov relatives all vying for Cady’s birthright, Drew is afraid she
might not survive that long. The only
way out is to realize his own connection to the town and the power of the
ley.
