[close] Join us and ask author D.M. Cherubim about the groundbreaking and controversial YA book, "Mary Baker and The Eye of the Tiger," a fantasy adventure that includes the Holy Spirit and wizards and witches in the same novel. "Mary Baker" has already received public accolades and scathing reviews, ranging from Readers' Favorite, which called it "rare and unusual" and gave it a Silver Medal review, to Kirkus Reviews, which derided it as a "New Age Hogwarts." The typical review from young adults and teenagers? "Awesome!" Meet the controversial and irascible author, a former award-winning journalist, humor columnist and Washington, D.C. bureau chief, on October 12, 2013, from 8 to 10 p.m. Ask her anything, but try to stay near these general ideas: Do magic and spirituality belong in a fantasy adventure book? Is there such a thing as New Age magic? Or is this just a thinly veiled American Harry Potter? And is this safe at any speed for children and teenagers? Wands and swords advised.

Before she died, Melinda prophesied that each coming generation of Warren (later Halliwell) witches would grow stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters -- the strongest good witches the world had ever seen; the three sisters would form The Power of Three, the most powerful magical force ever. Now the these three witches have lived a long hard life going through sickness and health, loss and happiness ending with beautiful children who will now take their place in safe-keeping the world from the evil that still roams in the depths of the Underworld scheming to take their life away once again.
