About the Book

In halls of the Soviet ballet school where Raina Devonskya lives to dance, fierce competition has become the least of her worries. As she grows into her immense talent, Raina becomes a target...and now something is happening during her tutoring sessions that may be more dangerous than the aggressive rivalry between dancers. Together with Inga, her best friend and roommate, Raina must discover the truth about what is happening to her in time to save her dance career, and her sanity. During a time when free thinking among Soviets is a dangerous occupation, in a place where there is little freedom of any kind, Raina and Inga must discern for themselves what is true and what is not. Will Inga's rebellious acts and forbidden books get her expelled from the school? Does Raina have what it takes to dance with the upper classes? Will either of them survive the fallout from Raina rising? The first in a trilogy of Raina Rising. The ending is just the beginning.
About the Author: About the Author Tessa Franklin is a pseudonym for the mother-daughter writing team of Judy Beglau and Sally Beglau Nava. Judy lives half the year--the good half, which would be the cooler months--in Austin, Texas. She spends the summers in the mountains of New Mexico, where she and her husband, Bob, enjoy the fabulous cool weather and gorgeous scenery. Judy started out writing children's musicals, working with her partner, Edie Elkjer. After burning off most of her fingerprints hot-gluing sets and costumes, she decided to see how it works to just write the words. In addition to Raina Rising, now out in paperback and e-book, Judy has a picture book, Mad, Mad Annabelle Jane, that will be released on October 1, 2013. A recent collaboration with symphony composer Thomas Pavlechko got her back into the musical genre; 'Twas All Hallows Eve will be coming soon to a concert hall, picture book, or television screen near you. You can also find her musicals at www.kidsongmusicals.com. Sally Beglau Nava lives in Austin, Texas, for both halves of the Texas year--both the cooler and "warmer" months. Having returned to the city of her birth after time away in Montana, Washington State, and several months as a nomad in an eighteen-passenger van, she is thrilled to begin this writing partnership. Her love of words was cultivated by her mom and brought to fruition through songwriting and poetry. Music is her first love, and you can hear her sing at www.reverbnation.com/sallynava. She would have never picked up a pen without the love and support of her parents as well as her freshman year English teacher Mrs. Lardon, and would have set down that pen long ago without the encouragement of her brother Josh, sister Katie, and husband J-D. Sally believes that we all have beautiful, scary, and amazing words inside us, and urges you to let them out.
