What's the genre? Epic Fantasy What's the setting? Old World, city state, akin to bronze age What's the names of your leading characters? Liannis, Klast, Merrist, Dugal What's 3 things you want to share about each of the characters ? Liannis, seer for the goddess Earth, just coming into her full abilities. She sufferes self-doubt because she is thrown into her duties with her training not quite complete due to the death of her mentor. She faces many tests in her quest to assist Earth. The book is written from her point of view. Klast, Liannis’ father, spy for Lord Gaelen, occasional assassin, noble and fiercely loyal. Merrist, employed by Liannis, in love with her, gentle and devoted. Dugal, lord of Gharn, young, untrained, came into power after his father was assassinated by traitors. What can you tell us about the story in 3-5 sentences? Treason, toppling two lords, put the One Isle in chaos. Unless Liannis succeeds in helping restore balance and peace, Earth cannot bring good harvests and the people will starve. In her quest Liannis faces many tests including loss and the lure of forbidden love. You will have to wait for book three, “The Dreamt Child” to see how she makes out. How's it end ? Oops... don't answer that. How's is not a What's question. I guess to learn more about the story and how it ends your readers need to buy the book. Any thing else you would like to add.:.. “Back From Chaos”received 2-5 star and 1-4 star reviews on amazon. There are no reviews yet for “Through Kestrel’s Eyes” but I anticipate readers will like it as well. So tells us where can we buy your book(s)..... Links where we can pick up a copy : Both “Back From Chaos” and the new “Through Kestrel’s Eyes” are available only on amazon.com both as a paper version and for Kindle.

I would like to thank Lisa for this mini blog. I would also like to add that though I wrote this for young adults, I have found that a great many older people both women and men have enjoyed it because it brings them back to those teen angst days of high school. I also touch on a subject that has become very important, the act of bullying. When I wrote the book I did not think this would be such an important part of it, but now I think it is a good example of how to deal with a bully. Some of my reviews say this is a must read for young girls. If anyone is interested after reading it, I have a Reader's/Teacher's guide posted on my blog: http://barbaraehrentreu.blogspot.com/p/readersteachers-guide-to-if-i-could-be.html Thank you, Barbara for sharing this timely story with us.
