Flouting her father's wishesand resolving to ignore her sister's fearsKaela sets out alone for a distant kingdom, determined to make her own way and live her own life in the way she loves best: by weaving tales for anyone who will lend an ear.

Living by their talents and their wits, Kaela and Kippen wander the back roads and byways of the kingdom, winning not only their daily bread, but many friends as well. Like a necklace of fallen stars, the stories Kaela tells along the way are strung together by strands of adventure and romance in this lively, forthright, yet magical tale.

Autorenporträt

I grew up in Rochester, NY, where I started school long before there were personal computers (much less cell phones). I discovered reading and books at a very early age, but it wasn't until I was in 5th Grade that it ever occurred to me to wonder about where all those amazing stories actually came from. (If I'd been asked where books came from, I would probably have rolled my eyes and said, "The library.") But once I figured out that someone had had to write down those stories I found so compelling, it was only a very short step to deciding that I could (and should) do that myself. I promptly started writing my very first book: The War of the Sun and the Moon the first book of a trilogy (I'd discovered Tolkien by 5th Grade, too); and I was off and running.

Now, many decades later, I live in an 1809 Greek revival brick house (which needed and is getting a ton of work!) in the city of Barre, VT, with my husband and one rather spoiled house cat. Though we haven't been at this address very long, the growing season is already looming large for gardening projects! In addition to my writing, I also spend inordinate amounts of time creating modern performing editions of 17th and 18th century musical works by composers most people have never heard of -- and then performing them with my Baroque trio, Cameo Baroque.
