The tragic loss of ten-year-old Seraphina's best friend, Josie Lee, leaves Seraphina questioning her destiny, until she learns she's the chosen one. Everything changes after that. Fate has other plans. A past visit to a psychic and a wish on a shooting star whisks Seraphina away on a quest. She finds herself on a mission to gain order back to a magical world called Raiven with its six different, colored- realms by returning a rainbow crystal back to its wizard owner that was stolen from an evil witch and her trolls. Seraphina will get to see her best friend's spirit with the help of fairies, pixie dust, elves, and her very own unicorn. Throughout her journey, she passes a series of tests to find a rainbow crystal that has the power to restore balance to the world. However, Seraphina's truest test is in discovering self-confidence and hope. Most importantly, she learns that Josie Lee is more of a guardian angel to her than she realizes and has never really left her side after all. It doesn't even require magic, just faith.

Author Biography

I graduated with a BS in Journalism from Florida International University in 2003. I wrote and reported entertainment scripts that were aired on FOX WSVN 7 in Miami, FL and OWL Radio at Florida Atlantic University in Boca. I am passionate about writing and have been writing short stories and poetry for as long as I can remember. I began writing children's stories in 2004 and even wrote and finished a screenplay. In addition to RAIN-BOW CRYSTAL, I also completed a 18,000 humorous animal-talking chapter book called MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT. My 136-page screenplay, BLACK HAND, is based on a true story about my Italian great-grandparents and is currently being shopped in Hollywood with an executive producer and entertainment lawyer. I am also the VP/Director of PR for a charity called Rainbow Guardian, which serves the intellectually chal-lenged/developmentally disabled population, including autism. Mainly, I'm a busy-bee, be-ing a wife and mother of two small children. You can also find me enjoying reading, work-ing out, blogging, baking, spending quality time with good friends, and/or traveling, when-ever I can find extra time (usually one of those activities accompanies a cup of coffee or glass of wine), minus the working out part. However, there are always exceptions. I also have three bulldogs and one white fluffy cat named Gracie. She's our princess. I have a lot of love around me and feel very blessed every day.
