The sun exploded on April 18, 2112. It exploded in a Class X
solar storm the likes of which humankind had never seen.
They had nineteen minutes.
Nineteen minutes until the geomagnetic wave washed over the
Earth, frying every electrical device created by humans, blacking out entire
continents, every satellite in their sky.
Nineteen minutes to say goodbye to the world they knew, forever,
and to prepare for a new Earth, a new Sun.
Generations after solar storms have destroyed nearly all human
technology on Earth and humans have reverted to a middle ages like existence,
all knowledge of the remaining technology is kept hidden by a privileged few
called the Reticents and books are burned as heresy.
Alana, a disfigured slave girl, and Recks, a traveling minstrel
and sometimes-thief, join forces to bring knowledge and books back to the human
race. But when Alana is chosen against her will to be the Vessel, the living
repository for all human knowledge, she must find the strength to be what the
world needs.

Lisa, like most writers, began
scribbling silly notes, stories, and poems at a very young age. Born in North
Carolina, the South proved fertile ground to her imagination with its beautiful
white sand beaches and red earth. In fifth grade, she wrote, directed and
starred in a play “The Queen of the Nile” at school, despite the fact that she
is decidedly un-Egyptian looking. Perhaps that’s why she went on to become a
real life archaeologist?
Unexpectedly transplanted to Idaho as
a teenager, Lisa learned to love the desert and the wide open skies out West.
This is where her interest in cultures, both ancient and living, really took
root, and she became a Great Basin archaeologist. However, the itch to write
never did leave for long. Her first books became the middle grade fantasy
trilogy, The Storyteller Series. Her first traditionally published work, Hush
Puppy, is now available from Featherweight Press.
Lisa still lives in Idaho with her
family and a menagerie of furry critters that includes way too many llamas!
