About the author
A.C. Willis
1 book31 followersAC Wilis was born Ashley Diane Crowe on the 11th of April in 1987. After moving several times during her early childhood, her family settled in a small town named Danese in the foothills of West Virginia. She grew up in the boosom of the trees, followed the flow of the creek and learned by the changing of season. This love for nature was paired with a deep connection to the power of the written and she realized her potential as a writer at an early age.
By the time she had graduated from High School, she was restless and eager to experience the world. When she was 19, she moved to Denham Springs, Louisiana; a town just outside the hustle and bustle of Baton Rouge. It was there that she met her husband and shortly after, started a family of her own.
AC gave birth to her son in October of 2009 and her twin girls the following September. She dedicated her life to her children but as they grew, her imagination soared. Through her play with them, a need to write was reawakened.
She finished her first book, Darkness Within as part of Nanowrimo: a challenge to write 50,000 words between November 1st and November 30th. With this, she realized her potential to write meaningful works of fiction and began her true journey as an author.
She is currently working on writing the second installation in the trilogy, titled Light Without. Her debut novel will be available for publish shortly and will be followed by two more in the series as well as a children's book.
AC Willis knows that this is the beginning of a great journey for her and she welcomes all her readers and fans to embark upon it with her.

I truly enjoyed this book. It was a great introduction to Awen Murdock and the future trials she faces. I spent the first half of the book confused but about half way through it all became clear! Willis created confusion for the reader and clears it up as Awen discovers the truths for herself.
It was really well written. I did see a few typos but nothing that detracted from the story. I look forward to reading more from this author!
