The Keeper's Canvas

by Jen B. Lassalle

When a quest for treasure brings her past to her doorstep, can Amelie overcome old wounds to find the life and love stolen from her?

Amelie spent her life rooted in place, avoiding drama and escaping the ghosts of her youth. When her childhood friend Rav arrives in town seeking help, she must choose between the lonely comfort of her present and the risky love of her past.

His quest for an enchanted doubloon will need the help of the gang at Illusion Square, a shopping center that is more than it seems. They are all in for an adventure none of them saw coming. And for Amelie, opening her heart means placing all she holds dear in danger.

Book One of the Illusion Square Series.

About the author

Jen Lassalle is a writer of paranormal women's fiction and midlife fantasy fiction under the pen name JB Lassalle. She likes strong females who are more than just a bit awkward, dimensional males who roll with the punches, and found family friendships that triumph over nuanced bad guys you love to hate.

Jen is a New Orleans resident. The city, and the surrounding areas, serve as a rich backdrop for a world where magic exists and mystical creatures are not only real, but live among us.

When Jen isn’t writing, she’s hanging with her family and friends at a local park or coffee shop. She likes working out, which is kind of weird, loves yoga, and plays video games. Of course, she reads.

Jen and her husband have two kids. One is an avid competitive swimmer (which sucks up all their weekend time). The other is a daydreamer like Jen who plays the Mega Man theme on his guitar and binge watches Stranger Things.
