Great news! A sneak peek at the second (l-o-n-g awaited!) book in the I, Q series has arrived!
Since the first book in the series was our One Book, One School book this year and fabulous author Roland Smith came to visit, I know the kids at my school will be thrilled to see it.
The book will be released on April 15th...and I'll be first in line to get my copy!

Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
Okay, so I KNOW we aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, BUT....how cool is this cover? Man, just looking at it makes me feel intrigued and settle down on a cold and rainy day (such as today---36 degress for our high here in Nacogdoches, Texas!) to read this one (kudos to whomever designed the cover art--truly genius!).
The book tells the story of twins born into a family with an important mystical history which the girls, of course, know nothing about. As the tale unfolds you find yourself in the midst of a web of intrigue & deception and a battle between good and evil that could...quite possibly...mean the end of the world as we know it.
I know, I know...it sounds amazing, doesn't it? Well, it IS! So, what are you waiting for? Grab it off the shelf before there's none left, brew a hot latte and head for the comfy chair to settle in for a long winter's read.
