Her Novel is: Not What She Seems
She left home as the local pariah, but when a family tragedy brings her back, she must confront her tortured past-and a new danger in town that no one seems to understand but her. Jac hasn’t been there since the beloved chief of police fell to his death―and all the whispers said she was to blame. That chief was Jac’s father.
TERRY BENTON-WALKER
Terry Benton-Walker is a writer who grew up in rural GA and holds a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech and a master's in business administration from Georgia State. He lives in Atlanta with his husband and son. When he’s not writing, he can be found gaming, eating ice cream, or both.
His Novel is: Blood Justice
Gods meddle and magic will betray you, but this time justice will reign.
Thirty years ago, a young woman was murdered, a family was lynched, and New Orleans saw the greatest magical massacre in its history. In the days that followed, a throne was stolen from a queen. On the anniversary of these brutal events, Clement and Cristina Trudeau—the sixteen-year-old twin heirs find out their sick mother isn’t sick—she’s cursed. And they’re next!
