Becky Grant is a shy orphan with the ability to harness the magical powers of gemstones which she is using to stop evil Emperor Amaru from taking over Zatonia – land of wise condors, jewel-eyed cave dwellers, and vicious boarmen. Oh wait! That’s the protagonist from her upcoming middle grade novel, The Stone Seer. Nevermind. Becky is really a boring adult who loves to drink coffee, sing in the car, and live vicariously through her middle grade characters. As a former elementary school teacher turned writing mom, Becky wishes she could use a little gemstone magic to get everything done in the day.
