KAT HECKENBACH, BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER by KM Wilsher

BACK COVER BLURBS
Okay, as promised the back cover blurb for FINDING ANGEL by KAT HECKENBACH.

The story begins with thirteen-year-old Angel.

She doesn't know where she's from, but she knows she doesn't belong. With no one who understands her obsession for books about other worlds and magical creatures, Angel spends much of her time alone, immersed in the paper and ink worlds where she feels most comfortable. Despite a loving foster family, and a little brother who holds the most special place in her heart, she dreams of living in a land that could exist only in the pages of a fantasy novel.

Then she meets Gregor, who produces an indefinable sense of familiarity within her. The feeling comes to light when Gregor is forced to use his magic Talent to save Angel's life, reviving her memory of an attack seven years prior--the attack that produced her amnesia and stole her from her real parents.

Angel realizes she's been given a chance to discover her true identity, one that Gregor assures her includes a magic Talent of her own. She makes the hardest decision of her life, and follows Gregor to her homeland.

She experiences a world unlike any she has imagined, complete with Elven musicians who sing the message of the heavens, the story of creation, and the magical signature of its Creator. Everything she learns reinforces what she has always believed--true magic is a spiritual gift, infused into the soul, and designed by a divine hand.

While honing her powers, Angel must grapple with the consequences of her decisions. And soon she is well on her way along a path of self-discovery that leads directly to her role in an ancient Prophecy...*****************************

BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER by KM Wilsher

BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER
BACK COVER BLURBS
I’m studying “back cover blurbs” and short one line synopses. The goal of this research started out egocentric really. I needed to know all I could about good summaries for back covers, because I want an outstanding back cover blurb for my work in progress.
As I thumbed through great synopses written by both published and unpublished writers, I realized I knew some pretty awesome writers. Thus the idea for this series was born. Why not share these great writers with everyone? Why not dive into conversations with the great writers I know and soak in the knowledge!

The BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER, however, is spotlighting her premier novel FINDING ANGEL.

Below is a little teaser for FINDING ANGEL by KAT HECKENBACH.

"If magic were real—and on Toch Island it is—it would have nothing to do with (as Severus Snape says) “foolish wand-waving and silly incantations,” and everything to do with stretching the boundaries of physical laws.

But would your abilities be genetically determined?

Or…are they part of your soul?"


Intrigued? Come back tomorrow and read the "back cover blurb" for FINDING ANGEL by KAT HECKENBACH.
