Snap to Grid
By DK Reed
Genre: YA, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Sixteen-year-old Red identifies with legendary warrioress, Red
Sonja, as a coping mechanism for the difficulties of teen life with ADHD. But even her inner warrioress is a little
nervous about moving into Uncle Alistair’s old mansion after seeing an eerily beautiful “Viking ghost” in an
upstairs window shortly after his disappearance. And,
she soon notices a crow acting strangely and feels like she is being
watched.
Uncle Alistair’s graduate student, Erik,
trapped in a ghost-like state by means of one of the stones, can only watch
her. Unable to be seen or heard, he’s now more like an essence or
spirit. Though Red has never been popular, her heroic goodness lends to
the beauty of her essence and Erik is quickly smitten. He uses the
limited tools available to try and reach her, including his crow friend,
Moon. But, will he get to her before the cult? Can she solve the
mystery and save him?
About the Author
Reed grew up on a farm in
the misty Clinch River valley of the Smoky Mountains. She now lives in Maryland
with her husband, two daughters (when they aren’t away at college), two dogs
and two cats and loves to hike near the Potomac River.
Reed loves the natural
world both as a hiker and scientist and this figures heavily in her
books. She loves exploring the “what ifs” of science and tries to make
the science fiction in her novels plausible and logical. She has a
doctorate in biology and has taught students from middle school to
college. She is an award-winning technical writer/editor and has
co-authored/edited dozens of ecological risk assessments and other scientific
books and articles. While she views her work as an applied scientist as
problem-solving fun, what she really loves is to explore imaginary worlds and
share her intriguing stories.
A few years ago, a
serious illness caused her to look at her life afresh. She decided to
focus her time and attention more on spiritual growth and joyful living.
This led her to return to an earlier love, fiction writing—having fun with
science. She spent the next few years honing her fiction writing skills and
transitioning into her new career as a sci-fi-fantasy/supernatural romance
writer.
"Life is better if
you do what you love and share your joy with others.”
