The only child of adoptive parents, Celeste leads a somewhat sheltered life.   But all of that changes on the night her pet iguana starts to speak and discloses a startling revelation:  She’s not just Celeste McAllister of Glendale, California; she’s really Celestial Star Needfyre, the last in an ancient line of witches.  Known as The Guardians, these powerful women stood for thousands of years between our world and environmental havoc – until they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

With the help of an eccentric fortuneteller, a passionate Satyr and the garage band from downstairs, Celeste will journey through strange, elemental worlds to save everything she loves and to free The Guardians from a dark creature who holds them captive.  In a final confrontation with the monster who will stop at nothing to destroy her, she must chose between the fate of our planet and the unexpected bond she feels for a demon who, like Celeste, is only searching for love and acceptance.

Mysterious caretakers of magical realms, underworld ferrymen, unrequited love and ample touches of humor embellish this tale of a young woman coming to terms with her unwilling role in a global battle against evil.  Poignant environmental issues faced by our world today make this story as timely as it is entertaining. 

Young adult fiction’s next hot couple is THE GLENDALE WITCH, Celeste Needfyre, and the young rocker who trades his guitar for a sword as he struggles to defend the sorceress who enchants him without ever raising her wand.

I'm currently seeking representation for THE GLENDALE WITCH.
