'A Gathering Darkness' is the exciting first book in the Valerian Series, a contemporary urban fantasy where 16th and 21st centuries collide. What comes after will change everything!
Most know me as Kaelynn Carroll, Theo's fiance, curator of the New York Museum of Art. What you don't know, is the darkness that stirs within me, a Pandora's Box of hunger and anger and disease.
What began as a simple trip to Britain to catalog a 16th Century Art collection would soon turn into a nightmare beyond anything I could imagine. For you see, between the darkness beneath the museum, and the return trip home, I lived another's life, another reality. Inadvertently I set something free.
Six years in the making- Well worth the wait! Coming late 2020!
Spanish Edition-

Portuguese Edition-
Um novo prodígio, enfatiza E. Finlayson de Staffordshire, UK.Este livro pode igualmente ser apreciado tanto como um livro adulto, quanto juvenil. O elenco é fora do comum e o autor constrói o suspense e a atmosfera da história habilidosamente. Assim como outros críticos, eu dificilmente diria que esta história acaba aqui, e eu espero muito pelo Livro 2. Like other reviewers I could hardly put it down until it was finished, and I hope very much for a Book 2.
Italian Edition-
“Per rinascere, una fenice deve morire!”
Se avessi l’opportunità di cambiare la storia, lo faresti?
Immagina di essere un tredicenne solo al mondo, che vive per le strade della contorta e frenetica New York, di non avere alcun luogo per riposare, alcun luogo da chiamare tuo. Immagina che tutto ciò che sapevi essere vero, la storia della tua famiglia, del tuo paese, la ragione stessa della tua esistenza fosse una bugia, qualcosa che nessun altro al mondo conosce.
A crown with no King, a sword left undrawn. The Summer People tells the tale of heroes and foes, cloaked men and sorcerers, serpent people and the enigmatic Romani. An unlikely band of heroes, young Jake and the Twins Eli and Ash, join forces with a mysterious stranger, Merwin of the Order of Rasputin. Together they seek to recover what was taken; their parents, a Kingdom's lost throne, a hero lost to the Ages, and the truth behind the mysterious Summer People.

Review: Beautiful. I didn’t know what genre this was when I started listening. It’s a strange and beautiful tale about the afterlife. The narrator does a brilliant job of telling this story.

The death of a grandparent may be a child’s first experience of losing someone close to them. While there is no easy way to navigate through the grieving process, it can be helpful to have some strategies in place when it comes to talking about loss, and what it means. For Liam, that means talking to God, and climbing the enormous tree in his backyard.
Sometimes, saying ‘Goodbye’ doesn’t mean forever!

5 out of 5 stars- Visually gripping!
March 15, 2019 Format: Paperback
From page one this book grabs you and refuse to let you loose! The scenic descriptions rival any other. I honestly felt like I was dropped into the world of Jake, Ash and Eli taking part in their adventure. I can’t wait for the next part of this amazing tale!
But wait, there’s more! During the beta trials, etc. I was contacted by no less than (4) audio book narrators to turn this little beauty, into an Audible Book! (And it doesn’t even have any ratings yet- it’s so new to the world.) All this in less than a day of it’s ‘non-official’ eBook release! As such, I am pleased to announce I have signed a contract with the amazingly talented Rachael Sparrow to produce The Summer People- Book One. (Currently, it looks like late March or early April 2019 for the Audible Release!)
Rachael Sparrow is a voice actor whose voice has been heard on a variety of national commercials, video games, educational training videos and podcasts, from Amazon, Amazon Alexa, Xfinity and Google, to the Video Game Fairy, Cross of Redemption. Voicing “The Summer People” will mark her debut, full-length audio book.
As a Platinum member of voices.com, Rachael’s work was recently spotlighted, and she was interviewed as a mentor for new voice artists. Rachael is also the proud director of Sing! Voice Studio, where she trains and coaches young singers and actors. Rachael lives with her husband and two children in Bucks County, PA.
I am honored to have her tackle this project, and cannot wait to hear the final product.
Book Description:
Leave it to the Serpent people to steal everything, including Jake’s parents. Determined to find them, he seeks out his next-door neighbors, the Twin’s Ashley and Elijah. Together with Merwin, a mysterious stranger of the Order of Rasputin, they begin a journey of discovery and fear, of a people called the Summer People and their age-old enemies, the sibilant.
“To create peace the Summer People basically gave up their king,” Ashley said. “put in him shackles and chains, carried him off to the Sibilant homeland, a dark and terrible place with lots of screaming and pain. That’s the only way the Sibilant would stop fighting.” She leaned in then, began whispering. “According to stories, he’s still there today, waiting to be freed. Waiting for a hero to be born.” Eyes narrowing, “Waiting times such as these.”
“Time such as these?” he asked. “What’s so special about these times?”
“You,” Ash replied, eyes narrowing. Grabbing his hand. “It’s you, Jake! He’s been waiting all this time for you!”
