Early Trade Reviews "Told from the alternating perspectives of Rahkki and Echofrost, this first in a planned trilogy dives into the nature of humans and horses. An amazing story of survival flecked with themes of captivity and freedom, and a coming of age journey with a strong heart." Booklist "Readers will be enthralled. The story is action-packed and full of adventure, making it difficult to put down. A great choice for libraries serving middle grade students who crave more fantasy and a perfect readalike for fans of Erin Hunter's "Warriors" series."

JEN'S WRITING TIPS (photo by Nick Alvarez) |
|
|
Some Encouragment I believe that people are creative beings. When I'm not creating, I'm not fully living. I may feel happy, but I'm not content. And when I'm depressed, those feelings become worse without a creative outlet. Now that I write full-time, contentment has blossomed! I absorb the crazy world, process it, and then spin it into art, which for me is stories. For you it might be something else: photographs, construction, paintings, sports, songs, poems or whatever suits you best. If you are reading these words, I encourage you to express yourself creatively. Find your medium and unleash your art and your feelings, if only to yourself. I hope you benefit from this like I have! |
