Courtney Praski is a resident in the State of Michigan. Graduating from Ferris State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice, and then a Graduate Degree from Saginaw Valley State University in Administration—Courtney always knew she wanted to do something that made a difference in the lives of young adults. As such, the concept of writing a book that could reach out to all youth’s in today’s word became Courtney’s way of making a far grander difference in the world.

Growing up surrounded by great literary works such as Harry Potter, Courtney realized that reading can quickly become not just a hobby but rather a place of escape for a child. Fantasy novels are meant to be an escape from reality—to go to a place where anything

One thing I always found that helped me was to take a break, and go read or watch something that I was passionate about. Sometimes, writing a book can be a lot like driving a car. The gas is the passion--your reason you began to write. You can only go so far before you need to fill your tank back up again. (less)

Quotes by Courtney Praski  (?)

“Imagine the fear the first men must have felt when they saw the sun setting on the horizon and the dark night beginning to rise—They must have felt such hopelessness within their hearts as the darkness descended, only for it to spark back to life as the stars began to shine through. However, the stars do not burn like the sun, do they? They provide little light for the land, which makes one wonder, that perhaps conquering the dark was not their purpose. Maybe the creators of the world intended when they made them, not to bring light into the world, but instead for them to serve as something else.

That is the great mystery of our world, is it not? Why would the creators, the gods who shaped the land and the heavens with their hands, forge something so stunning, so dazzling, only to then hide them away during the day and allow men to gaze upon their beauty only when darkness is present—this must mean something, right?

Maybe that was their intention all along. Perhaps they knew they could not eliminate the darkness of the night, so instead, they created these beautiful glowing lights in the sky—a small light for the people to cling to—to serve as a constant reminder to all that looked up, that no matter how dark the world seemed, there would always be light.

Maybe that is why they created you as well”

“Sometimes it’s not the times you decide to fight, but the times you decide to surrender—those are the decisions that can make all the difference. Those are the ones that can shape your story in history.”
Courtney Praski, The Seven

“Forgive yourself for the lives that will be lost, but do not forget them. A good leader always recognizes that sacrifices must be made in order to win, but remembering or forgetting those who sacrificed themselves for your cause is what separates the tyrants from the benevolent.”
Courtney Praski, The Seven

Making Connections: 5143. - THE SEVEN (The Oloris Series, #1) by Courtney Praski 6 28 Feb 17, 2018 07:13PM  
“Never lose faith. When the world rears its ugly face at you and shows you how truly despicable it can be, believe that there is still something worth saving beneath its darkness.”
Courtney Praski, The Seven

“Faith is for those who do not have the strength to stop what is to come! I have the strength. I have the power—You are not asking me to have faith—you are asking me to do nothing.”
Courtney Praski, The Seven

“It shouldn’t matter what I say, but rather, how you feel—don’t listen to the words of people. Instead, listen to your heart. It doesn’t lie, and it is speaking just as loudly.”
Courtney Praski, The Seven
