Produktbeschreibung

Follow shy, sixteen-year-old Mia Chandler from her lonely Taos home into a perilous future. From a stranger, she receives an unusual gift, a small, Native American totem, or talisman. Thinking it is only an oddly shaped piece of wood, she is unaware that this "wood sprite" possesses paranormal powers. The spirit of the wood sprite quickly materializes in the form of Wendy, a mysterious schoolmate, who offers Mia a bizarre but very tempting bargain that will swiftly plunge her, alone and unprepared, into extreme danger. The bright teenager will experience horrifying encounters that require all her courage, intelligence, and cunning to survive. Yet, during this period, she also learns she has a previously unknown half-brother, one of a tight-knit trio who live and work in southwestern Oregon's scenic Wallowa Mountains region. They include quiet writer, Jake Anderson; his audacious State Park Ranger-wife, Missy; and their young buddy Pete, a Ranger-in-training. They are being terrorized by a crazed, unknown murderer. While recovering from her shocking ordeals, Mia asks a new friend, Lt. Detective Kris Lacey, to drive her to Oregon to find her brother and his pals. After she and Kris meet them, they join ranks with the threesome. The small group's first night together is extremely dangerous yet also incredible, as an amazing, preternatural ability suddenly wakes within Mia that will transform her life and those of others..

The second of James Dobie's eight Wallowa Lake Thrillers, "The Wood Sprite" is a stand-alone, paranormal/psychological mystery as well as a sequel to his first thriller, "The Wailing."

Autorenporträt

James Dobie published his first thriller/mystery novel in 2022, though by then he had already written six more. He has now finished his first draft of the eighth and final book in his Wallowa Lake Thrillers series, five of which are yet unpublished. His goal is to release two thrillers every year. "Angel of Oregon," published in eBook format the end of May 2024, is James' third Wallowa Lake Thriller, a standalone sequel to the first two, The Wailing and The Wood Sprite. A native Texan, James lives in Austin, where he is now creating imaginative psychological/paranormal novels which are not part of a series. In his spare time, he enjoys playing guitar. His thrillers often have as heroes high-spirited, defiantly different females trapped in situations rife with danger. Devising diverse, ever more dire methods of tossing his characters straight into grave danger at the most stunning moment is always in James' mind.
