Her destiny lies in the cards... Fifteen-year-old Melanie Simpson and her friends uncovered a secret her father held for twenty years-material he smuggled out of a UFO crash in 1947 and has hidden away somewhere. Now, twenty years later, Melanie has found it, and along with it, the interest of dangerous men who will do anything to get the material from her. She also learns of a device given to her father by a dying alien at the crash site. In a letter left behind after his death her father tells of a quest, and that if she is reading this letter, he has been killed and she is now the only one able to finish it. She knows the device and quest must be connected, but where is it? With the help of her friends she searches for clues, all while facing the dangers of those after her. Then, a tarot card reading discloses even more-a link to the stars and a destiny revealed within the cards. Set against a historical backdrop of UFO sightings, events, and government cover-ups, Melanie is driven toward that destiny. With each step she falls deeper into a world of lies, deceit, doubts about her sanity, increasing danger, and possible death.

Autorenporträt
I love to write. I honed my creative writing skills first while studying creative writing at the San Francisco Art Institute, and then later at the Log Cabin Literary Center in Boise, Idaho with a writing group called the Magnificent Seven. I worked with Kelly Jones (The Woman Who Heard Color, Penguin Group), helping to edit her novel, The Last Madonna, and with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See, Simon and Schuster)-both instrumental in developing my craft. I also spent many years as a professional writer/producer in the advertising field for radio, television, and print, having owned an advertising agency at one point. I am a member of SCBWI, Alli (the Alliance of Independent Authors), and NIWA (Northwest Independent Writers Association.Right now, I am nearing the Orion Nebula, conducting a little research for an upcoming Melanie Simpson novel and touring the universe on a spaceship with two of my novel characters, Orbit and Slug (you don't know about them yet, but will). When I finally set my feet on earth again, it will be in Oregon where I live, returning to what I call 'The Writing Cave.' There, under the light of a gooseneck lamp, I will continue to work on Melanie's next great adventure, along with other novels.
