SAVING KENTÁN:
An Adult Fantasy
LOST meets AVATAR
BLURB:
When Alex’s plane crashes into Kentán, the secret world
above the clouds, the last thing he expects is to be rescued by a flying vivacious goddess. In her attempt to save the human, Ginaveh discovers Alex speaks the Kentán language, a unknown phenomenon. She brings him to her world to discover why. But
Alex’s arrival coincides with a lethal sickness that attacks the clans--responsible for creating day, night, storms, and sunrises/sunsets. Alex and Ginaveh must discover the true cause of the plane
crash and Kentán’s sickness before they are forever separated, and the world responsible for the beauty in Earth's skies is no more.
*Note: the plot is inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, and the villains' motivations coincide with historical accounts of Nimrod, whom some think responsible for building the tower.
Alex and Ginaveh (sunsets/sunrises)
Cicily--Painter of the Day
Here's a little bit about me:
I'm first and foremost a mom. I have a six-year-old boy and twin four-year-old girls.
Don't let those angelic faces fool you. They're like quadruple the trouble.
Because of all this trouble, I'm taking a break from teaching elementary kids and subbing instead. I also work at our daycare once a week.

My amazing group of second graders were the ones who pushed me to pursue my love of writing and dream to become a published author.
I've been married for eleven years to this guy:
He surprised me for our ten-year-wedding anniversary with a trip to Walt Disney World just the two of us. And in case you're wondering, he let me eat as much as I wanted of that DeBrands ice cream sundae. You know that's love.
I love all things Walt Disney and visit WD World every other year or so. Every time I step inside Magic Kingdom, the magic returns, and I'm a kid again.

My best friends are my sisters (I have three of them).
But my church girls are the best. They're my biggest cheerleaders and support system outside the writing world. Here's to you guys: Amanda, Erica, Brittany, and Katie (who is also my SIL).
My love of writing began in 5th grade. When my teacher made me read my short story aloud to my class, she bawled. It was then I realized my words could move people, and I wanted to tell beautiful stories about complex characters.
