After declaring herself a pretty pink princess during her first ballet class, Rachel dreamt of sugarplums and began pirouetting her way through life.

Once settled back in Queens, she dabbled in journalism before working as an Editorial Assistant for a medical publisher.

“Freedom is a fool’s paradox...even the devil gets his due, eventually.” Such was the mantra of Amyra Rose Moore. Before it all went haywire, Amyra’s life was blissfully centered. As the comely daughter of a West Coast socialite and pillar of her law school's LGBTQ-collegiate society, nothing could stop this rising L-gunner; that was…until that fatal-night after being convicted for her involvement in her biracial girlfriend's accidental death, causing insatiable media frenzies and death threats to ensue. To ensure her daughter’s protection, her mother (the town’s mayor) struck a secret deal, forcing Amyra into hard servitude at a distant boarding school located in the middle-of-nowhere New England town of Rennington for the duration of her sentence. Upon arrival, she notices strange occurrences happening throughout the town via its reconstruction efforts; as an outside entity, MalCORP seemed to be funding the endeavor single-handedly without question. When all seemed lost, she encounters a newly on-boarded professor who immediately took the school by storm. As she learns to adjust to her situation, an old trouble resurfaces, causing her to cower until a near-death experience prostrates her to remain at the school, as if fated. Later, Amyra is taken on a journey where she and the recently acquired teacher venture together, forming a solid friendship that churns into something unexpected. While their friendly liaison aggrandizes, the unusual occurrences happening in the woods behind the academy suddenly bring to light the deadly truth of the town’s cryptic past, as well as the pernicious reasoning behind why Amyra was truly brought there. https://a.co/d/771HU1i

Award winning author, LJ Evans, lives in the California Central Valley with her husband, child, and the terrors called cats. She's been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her free time reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like The Crown, A Discovery of Witches, Veronica Mars, and Stranger Things. If you ask her the one thing she won't do, it's pretty much anything that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis, which is exactly why LJ loves fiction novels—the characters can be everything you're not and still make their way into your heart. Her novel, CHARMING AND THE CHERRY BLOSSOM, was Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book Romance of the Year in 2021. https://www.ljevansbooks.com
