Dear Reader,

I once asked my 7-year-old niece if she wondered what it would be like to enter a mirror. She replied, "Every single day."

Mirrors are funny things. They show us what we need to see, but not always what we want. The truth is, they're ambivalent. They simply reflect and we interpret that reflection.

But what if mirrors were more than just reflective glass? What if they had something to hide?

Enter my YA fantasy novel, THE LAST HUNTRESS. It's a story about a girl named Alice who, on her 18th birthday, learns she has the power to enter mirrors and the magical world that exists behind them. In this Mirror Realm, Alice and her three huntress sisters must battle gods and demons to protect humanity and save her true love's soul.
