What are you working on now? It's the question I'm asked all the time, lately. I don't mind answering at all, and I'm so excited about my latest project that I decided to share it with you here!

My newest project is a series of books for Pelican Book Group, called the Beguiled Series. Each of the books will feature a new and different set of characters , and each will center around a "lost" Biblical place or treasure. These will not be a long, continuous story like my Enslaved Series is. Each of these books will be a stand-alone story.

Book 1 is Shadowed Eden. Below is the cover and blurb, and I'm thrilled to announce that a book trailer (like a movie trailer) will be coming soon. I hope you'll consider giving it a read when it releases later in 2015!

What Others Had To Say About Shadowed Eden!

“A truly original premise, Shadowed Eden, is an exciting supernatural adventure filled with danger, redemption, and a cast of teenage characters that I grew to love. I enjoyed Clark’s story and look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.” —Jill Williamson, Christy Award-winning author of By Darkness Hid and Captives

"Shadowed Eden is a unique and intriguing tale that will keep the reader guessing and turning pages to find out the secrets of this mysterious story, and the suspense doesn’t stop until its surprising end! I highly recommend it." --Melanie Dickerson, Carol Award-winning author of The Merchant's Daughter

High school senior, Avery Miles, is attending one last mission trip with the church youth before she moves across country to attend college in the fall. The trip through Iraq takes a wrong turn when the sandstorm of the century hits the area and blows the group’s entourage off course. After the dust settles, they find themselves in an unimaginable and inexplicable garden oasis. Along with an abundant supply of luscious fruit and crystal clear springs, the mysterious garden is home to poisonous snakes, hidden sink holes, and a lingering confusion that no one can shake—not to mention the natives, who are almost unearthly.

As the days progress, the group begins to realize they have a very real problem—no matter which way they trek, they can’t seem to leave. Avery puts the clues together and begins to suspect their location is much more than a simple garden oasis, but just as a rescue plan forms, Avery discovers her father is working with a more sinister presence, one that wants to keep them trapped permanently.
