New Release! A Compelling Fantasy

My friend and author, Laura Matthias Bendoly, has a new release that you will want to check out!

LAERKA





Laerka Summary:
Laerka is a Southern Gothic thriller featuring Stella, the sixteen year old daughter of an out -of-work Savannah fisherman and Laerka, a mysterious Danish girl who leaps off a container ship into the Savannah River. Stella appoints herself as Laerka's rescuer. Both Laerka and her sister Aleksandra have been kidnapped by a Russian trafficker and forced to work in the off-highway strip trade. Together with a band of teenage skater punks, Stella busts the gang of traffickers, but not before discovering that both he and Laerka have a secret supernatural skill -- she, to morph into the Rusalka mermaid and he into the Vodyanoy water dragon.
