Impulse: An Iron & Fire Prequel for Young Readers

by Kerrin Willis

Verity Parker can't seem to be the child the world expects her to be. She doesn't like to sit still, her stitches are crooked, and her cooking is terrible. She'd much rather be working in father's bookshop, wandering through London, or going to hear a play by one of the great writers of her time. But Verity has a plan!

About the author

I am a bibliophile English teacher from southeastern Massachusetts. I am fascinated by local history, especially the idea that King Philip’s War, the bloodiest war in American History, took place in my own backyard. I pride myself on being a feminist and a strong protagonist in my own story, and have often joked that I’d have been burned as a witch in colonial New England. I can usually be found pausing The Little Mermaid and subjecting my daughters to a lecture on the dangers of giving up their voices.
I have a BA in English from Stonehill College, an MA in English from Simmons College, and I am currently working on my MFA in Creative Writing - Fiction at Southern New Hampshire University.
