After the devastating loss of her parents in a freak accident, Alexandra obsesses over the mystery surrounding Teater Higgins, her great-great-grandfather. She searches a deserted farm for Teater's gravestone, but fate intervenes and she plunges into a deep cistern. Trapped, cold, and alone, she finds a warm stone that facilitates her escape and prompts dormant psychic abilities to emerge. Unable to grasp the full implications of this new transformation, mysterious Jediah Saffle draws her into a shimmering orb, exposes her to near-sensory overload, and, without speaking, tells her she is a Sensate. The orb experience leaves Alexandra with more questions than answers, and as she considers her fate, an ancient Prophecy which predicts a dark future for the Sensates, comes to light. Beginning a psychic journey set in motion by her ancestor, she delves into her five senses and garners knowledge from centuries of heritage to become the most powerful Sensate in over two thousand years. As her world shifts into one where many miraculous things are possible and moral boundaries are put to the test, three men impact the destiny of her birthright. Jediah waits two hundred-thirty years to claim her; another plans for nearly half a millennia to exact his revenge; and a third captures her to bend her will to his own. LARKSPUR, the first book of the Sensate Nine Moon Saga is a full-length novel, which chronicles Alexandra's introduction into the benevolent world of Sensates.
About the Author: Larkspur began as reflections of my childhood drawing inferences from the good and bad experiences of my life. As the characters began to emerge, the story took on a life of its own. I was shocked when Alexandra spoke and led me in a different direction than I originally intended. Conversations became most revealing when they happened, seemingly, on their own. As I wrote Larkspur, two additional books formed in my mind. In keeping with my core beliefs, my books will always adhere to certain principles: true love is pure, it harbors no guile or pretense, and it endures an eternity. I believe in what is not said, but in what is found lurking between the lines, and the process of 'fade to black, ' and finally, that good shall always prevail over evil. Teens, Christians, Iroquois, and those between the ages of first and last love, should find common ground within the adventures of the Trilogy. I loved creating my characters and hope you enjoy my Sensates.
