Cara Ruegg is an artist who lives a happy life with her husband and children. Her days consist of bringing stories to life often while curled up in bed nursing her little one, baking and making endless messes with her toddler, lots of pretend play, and even more hugs and kisses! She is a Catholic convert and this can, she hopes, be reflected in some of her works. She hopes you enjoy her books! She writes mysteries as Eliza Floretta.

Quotes by Cara E. Ruegg (?)

“She smiled, pretending to be unaware like every child, but she knew. Children know things even if they can’t explain them in words.”

“Their swords collided. Michael fell backward. His sword ricocheted off into the darkness, leaving him defenseless and lying on the ground. For a moment Matthew was gone. For a moment, the very darkness that was Atrum’s clothed him in a secrecy so fierce Michael reckoned it was work of this Luminarium God. He reckoned he even saw this God, staring at him with blue, winter eyes. He reckoned he heard this God, growling from within the darkness. But then there was a howl and the darkness began to fade. There he beheld it –the angel among the dead. A wolf.”

“You’re safe now,” he said, again. “I will not allow anybody to hurt you. I give you my word.”
Eliza nodded. “I know.”
Father Leo nearly dropped his bible. The priest recognized Eliza, her blonde hair and sweet voice. Yes, this had to be the princess – there was no mistaking it.”
