She inherits a world of traditions, well-kept secrets and magical powers,
and is left to piece together her clan’s past, using nursery rhymes taught to
her by her mother. Learning some of the secrets not only confuses her, but
places her in mortal danger. When a sinister man appears, Ilona connects
his presence to a series of mysterious deaths. He can influence others to kill
her, but why can’t he touch her? There are clues around every corner, and
the elusive answers draw her further into the hidden world of her people.
As if the mysteries aren't enough, her life becomes more complicated when
she meets a dashing stranger. Although he saves her life by putting his
own life in danger, she senses evil in him. The first book of The Ancestor’s
Secrets series raises questions such as: what if there is a secret society
exists hidden among us with its strict rules and fiercely enforced laws, and
certain members come to possess magical powers? What if finding love,
despite the obstacles thrown our way, is possible? What if we could have
the power to visit the ancestors in the past and create our own future?
READ FOR ANIMALS ANTHOLOGY SERIES
I was thinking about how to help animals in shelters and
in animal hospices other than donating money I could
afford. What can I do as a writer to help animals in need?
I had an idea. I'm a writer; I can write, sell the book and
donate the money - after publishing fees - to animal
shelters. I started putting together the short stories I have
written the past few years and asked my animal lover
author, poet and artist friends if they'd like to participate
in my Read for Animals project. The response was
overwhelming, the stories and poems started flooding in
and together we made this book possible to help our
furry, scaly and feathered friends.
