Born and raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Courtney began writing at a very young age and was very passionate about it. Since moving to Arizona at age 16, she took a long break from it as she seemed to have hit a very long period of writer's block.

The history was very interesting but the way it was told jumped around a lot and made the first half a bit hard to follow.

“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”
Stephen King

“As far as how to treat her personally, she’ll teach us how if we let her. But it begins with listening and respect.”
Scott Rhine

I really enjoyed the first few in the seris, but the longer a series goes on, the less I'm into it. I seem to be losing my interest. It's starting to remind me of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series.

The book was still enjoyable though. I'm sure I'll keep reading them as they come out.

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Courtney. It's greatly appreciated. If you love a good mystery, and you have either a Kindle, Nook or iBooks, I encourage you to try a sample of my first novel. It's called FORBIDDEN STEPS and it's getting raves and 5 stars across the board. Check out what folks are saying by clicking on the link below, then scroll downward.

Bradley Thank you for adding me as a friend. Fellow Michigander eh? And Ironwood no less. I don't think you live very far from my good friends, Billie Williams and Janet Elaine Smith. Heck, you might even know Janet, so goes to book signings in your area I think. =)
