Sebastien the Great, a magician whose fiancée, Kathryn, disappears through the magic trunk, vows revenge. If Cynthia and Gus don't find a missing page from the “Book of Spells,” Cynthia’s family could face financial and personal ruin. Follow this time-traveling duo as they journey back to a 1914 Swiss castle where Eva, Sebastien’s grandmother, gives them clues on where to begin their search. Their journey takes them through miles of tree tunnels, an enchanted garden ruled by a cranky rock monster, and even high in the Alps. They get the surprise of their lives when they're sent 50 years into the future, have a shocking encounter with another set of best friends, and receive a fresh set of clues that could lead to Kathryn's return. But, at what price?

I’m the author of the award-winning ‘tween fantasy/mystery series, Cynthia’s Attic. I’m proud to announce book four, “The Magician’s Castle,” is due for release in December, 2009. My children’s mystery series was inspired by a recurring dream about a mysterious attic. After realizing that it took place in the home of my childhood friend, Cynthia, the dreams stopped and the writing began. I’m also co-writer of the fabulously funny (No! Seriously, it really is) women’s lifestyle book titled, “Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF),” and am especially proud of my short story, “Ghost Light,” and the newly published “Christmas With Daisy,” a Cynthia’s Attic Christmas story.

I’m a member of The Georgia Reading Association, and the Carrollton Creative Writers Club (A crazy-good bunch of writers!). When I give my fingers a day away from the keyboard, I enjoy golf, swimming and exploring the mountains of West Georgia where I make my home with my husband. Together we’ve raised three creative children and enjoy spending time with our granddaughter.
