Brenda Drake, the youngest of three children, grew up an Air Force brat and the continual new kid at school. Her fondest memories growing up is of her eccentric, Irish grandmother’s animated tales, which gave her a strong love for storytelling. So it was only fitting that she would choose to write stories with a bend toward the fantastical. When Brenda’s not writing or doing the social media thing, she’s haunting libraries, bookstores, and coffee shops or reading someplace quiet and not at all exotic (much to her disappointment).

Writer's block, to me, means you need to step away and let the inspiration come to you. I write almost every day.(less)

ANALIESE RISING - Kirkus Review

Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake

"Drake writes from a first-person, present-tense perspective and imbues her narrator, Ana, with plenty of character...

An exuberant runaround, carried along by the heady rush of first love." ~Kirkus Review

“Sentinels are sort of like Mary, aren’t we?” His voice was quiet. “We’re alone in the world, taken from our true parents. I like to think of the libraries as our secret garden. Our escape.”

“What are you doing?” Demos’s eyes followed me.
“There never seems to be enough time to explore the libraries.”
Demos’s eyebrow rose. “Did you hit your head?”
“I’m serious.” I sighed. “We have this gift to transport ourselves to any library anywhere in the world. It’s amazing, but we never get to enjoy it, to just sit in one and read books written ages ago.”
― Brenda Drake, Assassin of Truths
