Parallel Hunt

Children of the Parallels #2

by Cameron D. Garriepy

Emma Bright's nightmares are getting worse, and her only confidante, a peer mentor named Julian Cyr, vanished a year before without a word of goodbye. The flame-haired hunter rides through her dreams almost nightly, leaving Emma exhausted and frightened. Emma seeks out Julian's brother, looking for answers, but Jack Snow is unwilling to tell her the truth about his brother's disappearance. Emma's dreams aren't the only thing troubling her. The air shimmers out of the corner of her eye, and visions of another sky beyond her own taunt her in the cafeteria. When Jack witnesses Emma's strange abilities firsthand, he recognizes the connection between Emma and Julian--and the rest of his unusual family. He knows he should tell Emma the truth, but it may be too late. Her newly discovered powers may have taken Emma beyond Jack's reach for good. The Children of the Parallels stories are chapters in an ongoing storyline, not intended to stand alone, written as part of a unique series of gifts for the special kids in the author's life.

About the author

Cameron D. Garriepy attended a small Vermont college in a town very like Thornton. She's missed it since the day she packed up her Subaru and drove off into the real world. Some might say she created the fictional village as wish fulfillment, and they would be correct.

She is the author of the Thornton Vermont series, and the founder of Bannerwing Books, a co-op of independent authors. Prior to Bannerwing, Cameron was an editor at Write on Edge, where she curated three volumes of the online writing group's literary anthology, Precipice. Cameron appeared in the inaugural cast of Listen to Your Mother - Boston, and irregularly contributed flash fiction to the Word Count Podcast.

Since her time at Middlebury College, Cameron has worked as a nanny, a pastry cook, an event ticket resale specialist, an office manager, and a content writer. In her spare time, she cooks, gardens, knits, reads avidly, and researches hobby farming. She writes from the greater Boston area, where she lives with her husband, son, a pug puppy, and four hens.
