The Woman in the Wires

"The writing style of the book is a masterclass in intricacy and captivation... The climactic showdown almost had me in tears..." --Fiverr Reviewer "...final chapters are captivating. I love the blend of horror, sensational action, and humor. There's also genuine poignancy in [the] evocations of the characters' affections for each other. " Mark Spencer, Author and Editor

How much responsibility can one woman take for a city the size of Los Angeles? Willet Du Place is about to find out. The battle of the Dragon Head Building left her Circle, the Circle of Augustus, battered and scattered. Her sister Audrey, the Ring Thrower, is trapped in the Lightning World. Dean, a warrior of the Circle, is reliving a past life in ancient Rome which he can't escape. TJ, a Circle warrior and the love of Willet's life, is caught up in a crisis with a woman who shoots herself in the head in his house and leaves her preteen son in his care as she is rushed to the hospital. That leaves Willet, the new Guardian of the Gate, to deal with whatever evil thing has come through the Gate from the Underworld. It is now hiding in a giant pile of black sand in downtown LA. She learns how dangerous it is for the people of L.A. as well as for herself, and she is not at all prepared to fight what's in there. A shape shifting cat comes to her aid to help her with the wires of emotion that strike at her when she is around other people. A woman as old as Atlantis teaches her how to build solid barriers from molecules of materials floating in the air. With meager defense and no offense, the mission of the Circle now rests on Willet's shoulders.
