Wild magic and monsters. Who could ask for anything more?When Lani's grandmother unexpectedly dies, Lani sets out to find the only relative she has left – a long lost aunt who lives half a continent away. Lani's falls back on her only protection – her youth – as she makes her way to her aunt's. If Grandmother had taught Lani how to use her magic, things might have been different. Too bad Grandmother's ideas were ahead of her time – either that or the woman was downright lazy. Either way, Lani's magic remained untrained and wild, popping up at the most unexpected and inconvenient times. Then a stranger joins the caravan and wild magic becomes the least of Lani's concerns. Louisa is a professional writer living in northern California with husband, son, and a slew of critters, both domestic and wild. The family has been off the grid for over twenty years and keeps their carbon footprint small by doing without frig and water heater. Besides writing and caring for critters, both two-legged and four-legged, Louisa is the proud mama of a host of other little beings, namely veggies and flowers, who live in their 8'x16' greenhouse. Springs fills the air with flowers and song while frogs leap merrily underfoot. Life is sweet!
