The Locals: Legends of the Earth

What’s a typical mid-west girl from Pacific, Missouri to do during her summer vacation when her brother has been abducted, her new best friend is a fish, her frenemy may be playing with fire, and her secret crush is getting burned? She goes out and finds more drama, of course! Molly’s adventure began when she learned that her brother's disappearance was more complicated than presumed. She also discovered that mermaids, witches, and the boogeyman may in fact, be real. But she can’t tell her parents...not yet! The Locals: Legends of the Earth, book two in the trilogy, is for anyone who has become bored with the same old cliché of characters. It combines local American legends, history, geography, and even politics all in one young-adult adventure. It invites you to take a magical journey and to detox your soul by tagging along with Molly, Ona, Foxx, and even Gresham!

About the Author

Ed Cieslak Moye has an A.A. in Animation, a B.A. in French, and an M.A. in French and Applied Linguistics. Currently, he is an educator in Atlanta, Georgia. His journey of self-discovery took him down an interesting path first as a bartender, then as a waiter, pet shop boy, Walt Disney World cast member, actor, singer, dancer, graphic designer, animator, translator, and finally a foreign language educator in the southeast United States and overseas for a very long time. Ed has always embraced his imagination and his passion for parapsychology and cryptozoology while force-feeding them to others. At the age of six, his life was devastated because his mother refused to allow him to have surgery to have gills implanted so that he could breathe underwater. At age nine he wanted to be a bionic altar boy. By age twelve, he was convinced he was psychic. At sixteen, the French language and Bigfoot phenomena consumed him. Finally by age twenty, he decided to fuse all of them together to become an artist. Here, his imagination thrived into the delicately imbalanced and delightfully neurotic version of the person he is today, still convinced he's psychic. In his life, there is one motto: "Never close the book on the magic in your own life!"
