Shadows Gray: The Lost #1

Sonnet Gray has problems, and not just those of a typical 18 year old. Her family is one of the Lost; time travelers who have no power over their journeys. Hopelessly old fashioned and yet more modern than most girls, Sonnet speaks several languages and takes care of her motley crew back home by working in a coffee shop and playing guitar. Over time, the Lost leave behind those they love and pick up new characters along the way. In twenty-first century America, Sonnet meets Emme, a Lost young woman with a questionable line of work, Luke, a mysterious photographer, and Israel, a young doctor . But no one can take the place of Sonnet's sister, Rose, who was left behind as a baby in the fifteenth century. The ghost of her beckons from each time and place; but what's real and what isn't? Is Rose Gray trying to contact her before it's too late? A ghost story with a sci-fi, Gothic romance twist, Shadows Gray will keep you up at night, wondering: is the redemptive power of love enough to change history?

About the Author

My name's Melyssa. I go by Lyssa. I have three kids. They're pretty great. I like them quite a bit. I have one husband. Also, a nifty guy. I read books. I write books. I drink coffee and red wine, depending on whether it's a.m. or p.m. I have a dog and three chickens. I prefer country over city and I'd rather hang out at a library than hang out at a club. I homeschool. I was homeschooled. I write for Home Educating Family magazine and for MaryJane's Farm magazine. I don't like being photographed, spiders, sweet pickles, staying up past 11, snow in April. Or October. I used to dance back when I was flexible and looked good in tights (those days are gone). Now I teach ballet. It's a lot like herding cats, except they wear tutus and need frequent potty breaks. I wrote a book. Did I already say that?
