Epiphany

by Regina Riley

How would you feel if, on your twenty-ninth birthday, after a day that started bad and just kept getting worse, you found out that not only were you adopted but were half-human and half-dryad? That is what happens to Chloe Bright. On the day she turns twenty-nine, her apartment-mate has run out and not paid the rent, the climatization is broken, and the library she works at will be closed at the end of December. Also, while they are all out eating dinner, Chloe finds out that she is adopted and that she isn’t all that she appears to be. The latter is re-iterated the following morning by her new apartment-mate - who is herself a nymph.

What follows is an almost borderline comedy of errors as Chloe tries to figure out who she is and her place within the fey realm - which includes shapeshifters, vampires, elves, trolls, gnomes, and pixies. Her friends - a shapeshifter by the name of Buford, a nymph named Jade, and a vampire named Jacques - also try to keep her alive due to a certain fey sect wanting to kill her due to her being half-human.

About the author

AKA Tonia Brown

From paranormal fables to steampunk chronicles, Regina prefers to pen complex plots, often with hilarious consequences. When not wasting time goofing around on the Internet, she writes from the heart about life, love and the merriment of happiness.

Aside from her wicked imagination, Regina believes that her life is pretty pedestrian. She resides in North Carolina, although her roots spread a bit deeper thanks to a military upbringing. She is an identical twin, and has been happily married for thirteen years to a wonderful and giving husband. She also shares her home with a brood of moody cats. As a crocheting fanatic, she can just as likely be found wrist deep in a skein of yarn as opposed to hip deep in writing her next tale.
