Produktbeschreibung

A Daring Mage. A Damaged Monster. A Deathly Mission. Mage Clea Reese hunts a deadly Creature that ritually slaughtered three shifter children. In order to unearth the beast, she needs the aid of her broken lover, James Larrimer. Together, they aim to smoke out the killer while pursuing Clea's quest for the magical Chest of Stone and preventing the Magical and the Mundane worlds from splintering. Their hunt for the beast drags them from the Mundane realm to the Magic one, where a lethal sorceress seeks to destroy Clea and procure the chest for herself. The race for the Chest is on, but time's against Clea and Larrimer when the Creature kidnaps another child and seeks Clea for its own dark purposes.

Autorenporträt

Vicki's fantasy romantic suspense series, The Afterworld Chronicles, launched with Chest of Bone. The second novel, Chest of Stone, hits shelves Nov. 2017. Her mystery/thrillers-Body Parts, The Dead Stone, The Grief Shop, a Daphne du Maurier winner, and The Bone Man, a du Maurier finalist-feature homicide counselor Tally Whyte. All are now in ebook format. Tapping into her love of knitting, she wrote Chest of Bone The Knit Collection, a pattern book based on her novel and in collaboration with Karen Clements, Norah Gaughan, and Rosemary Hill. She also co-wrote (with Lisa Souza) 10 Secrets of the LaidBack Knitters. Vicki and her late husband, William G. Tapply, ran The Writers Studio workshops. She grew up in professional theater-the Ivoryton Playhouse-and planned to become an actress. Instead, she's slung hamburgers, managed a scuba shop, and became a college professor. She's a mom to two wonderful humans and a furry pack. Her passions for scuba diving, fly fishing, and knitting pop up in her novels. As do vinho verde, bourbon, Maine lobster, and chocolate, not necessarily in that order. She sings musical comedy scores in the shower, unfortunately not an Equity venue, and she writes daily. She adores teaching, having taught fiction and modern media writing at Clark University, and so she mentors writers and students in a variety of writing genres. Currently, she's playing with her pup, Penny, going wild in L.A., and pounding the keys on the series' third novel, Chest of Air.
