First up - I also write as Kerry Anne King, so I’m basically two authors in one! I'm always excited to talk about books: what you're reading or not reading, loving or hating and why. And I love to engage in conversations about creating ANYTHING: books, art, music, the life of your dreams - whatever! And if you happen to be interested in the philosophy and practice of Law of Attraction or you're fascinated by the power of our subconscious - and conscious - minds to create reality, I am totally in for that conversation!
I believe that all story is alchemy. As a writer, I do my best to capture the ideas and characters running amok in my head and turn them into story. Each reader's brain takes what has ended up on the page and creates something new and unique. It's a collaborative and creative process, and so are conversations. Getting to talk to readers helps spark all sorts of new ideas for me and keeps me from getting stuck and repeating old material.

Blythe Harmon is on the fast track to a life she never wanted. On her thirtieth birthday, just as she’s about to lock herself into a high-powered job and accept a marriage proposal to match, an unusual bequest from her beloved late grandmother, Nomi, offers an escape and an invitation to adventure.
Equipped with Nomi’s urn of ashes and a treasure map, Blythe sets off for a small island in the San Juans where she rents the mysterious and unsettling Improbable House. Secret by secret, clue by cryptic clue, she begins to unravel the puzzle her grandmother has left her to piece together. Her quest is complicated, though, by a powerful attraction to an enigmatic islander and empathy for his orphaned niece, both of whom are inexorably tied to the old house.
Just when Blythe thinks she’s on the verge of solving the mystery, her quest takes an unexpected turn, and she discovers that the treasure she’s really seeking is something that could never be buried in the ground.
