About the Book
Sneaking out at night, driving without a license, and falling for a guy weren’t things fifteen-year-old Jeni expected to do while visiting Lake Itasca, Minnesota with her family. The guy, Ice, turns out to be the local medicine man’s apprentice, and when he tells Jeni she’s connected to the spirit world, her first instinct is to run. But after Ice’s stories of a mythical underwater monster—that Jeni allegedly released—prove true, she realizes it’s up to her to contain the beast. Jeni must first convince herself that she’s able, and then save the locals, Ice, and ultimately herself.
About the Author
After years in the corporate world, Barbara found herself with a second chance to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her lifetime love of books and the written word returned one answer: writer. Drawing from her experience with technical writing, she began by writing non-fiction magazine pieces and achieved both regional and national publication. Her success encouraged her to complete a novel. She learned much from her first manuscript, critiques, books, contests, and blogs. Barbara has a few other novels in the works, including a Thunderstone sequel. If she’s not reading or writing, she likes to walk, garden, and sew. She works in a library and lives in Royal Oak, Michigan with her husband, daughter, and their cat—who often acts like a dog.

What was the worst thing that happened to you on a family vacation?
WE all went swimming and got swarmed by jellyfish!!
It was awful.
thank you 🙂
I once got sick. It wasn’t serious, but it’s no fun to get a 24 hr bug while on vacation.
I always get car sick. It was awful!
stuck at the airport
I passed out and had to go to the hospital because my neck hurt so bad.
I was gonna dive into the pool then I chickened out and when I was walking down the stairs I slipped. I was embarrassing and I ended up hitting my head
We got stuck in the Sao paulo (Brazil) airport for 8 hours… Yeah, that was lots of fun -_-
We were done at Universal and then we missed our bus to go back to the hotel, so then we had to walk and that caused us to be late for our taxi and then we almost missed our plane.
My family drove for eight hours, but we ran out of gas and got stranded on the highway. It sucked
Worst thing on family vacation: I came back to my hotel room and a random old guy was in my bed. I didn’t notice until I went to bed and tried to get under the blanket
our plane got delayed 8 hours
My plane was delayed several hours, so we missed our layover, and my family and I ended up missing the first day of the convention my dad had to speak at. We were so relieved to finally get to our hotel!
