Shirley Whitlock has always lived for books - and no surprise, since her father's bookstore has been her home for the last thirteen years. But when she discovers that she possesses a magical power only shared by a few in the world, her life at the bookstore is abruptly disrupted and she is thrust into a quest to protect the one thing that poses a threat to the safety of Wishers everywhere - the coveted Book of the Wisher Mages.
Abby Ramaley is a sixteen-year-old daydreamer and perfectionist who grew up classically educated, giving her a vital foundation and experience in writing and reading for beauty, and is now living with her family near Pittsburgh, PA. During this time, she self-published her 31,000-word middle-grade fantasy novel, The Wisher’s Granddaughter, which can be found on Amazon or spilling out of her family’s many bookshelves. Abby plans to attend Grove City College for philosophy and political science, and then move on to study constitutional law, of course writing all the while. When she has a free moment (which seems to be never), she enjoys reading, martial arts, working outdoors, piano, and time with her Lord.
