Biography
I grew up in Vermont mostly and now
live in Virginia with my family (those still at home). My husband and I have a blended family of
seven kids. My childhood was spent
moving around a lot. (non-military)
About five years ago, we started home-schooling our youngest children. Now there are only two remaining in
home-school. I have tried to nurture the
love of books in our children and now our grandchildren -- always nurturing
their imaginations. Recently, I have
become active in our community with literacy, starting a local (and online)
creative writing club and volunteer tutoring at the Adult Learning Center.
I struggle with disabilities. So, have to be careful not to overdo
things... I don't always listen to my own advice. I have a dry, sarcastic and corny sense of
humor and always try to look at things optimistically. (again not always successful) However, I feel that if I don't give up --
for long -- then things will work out for the best eventually.

Synopsis
Eris Payton believes she's going insane when she meets
Nelson -- a lucent -- a being that has always been invisible and silent to
humans -- until Eris. When his brother
falls ill, Nelson brings Eris news of her estranged dad, the acclaimed
geneticist Dr. Payton. Nelson not only
introduces Eris to a world she didn’t know existed by taking her to Downside,
but to people who accept her for who she is.
It isn't as easy as that though.
Lucents have innate abilities to manipulate living
energy. Another ability, although
difficult, dangerous, and rarely preformed, is to merge their DNA with a human
to save that person's life. The two
literally become one, known as a hybrid.
Nelson became a hybrid only a few months ago and still has his own
demons to fight. Dr. Payton also became
a hybrid -- years ago when he mysteriously disappeared -- and has disappeared
again after he established a quarantine.
But what does this have to do with Eris?
The lucents' unique DNA leaves them vulnerable to
viruses that humans don't even know about, and it is one such virus that has
spread through the lucent communities.
However, according to detailed notes left behind by Dr. Payton, the specially
engineered DNA that makes Eris able to see and hear the lucents while remaining
human also holds the key to curing the epidemic that has devastated the lucent
population. Will she be able to cope
with the largest upheaval her life has ever seen?
What People Are Saying
Clip From To Eris - Human:
Ashley's eyes widened and her voice
trembled. "There was no one around
taller than Steve. You couldn't possibly
know that shirt. He's been gone for… You
only moved in two weeks ago. You
couldn't have seen it." Her hands
began to shake and she glanced around nervously.
"Sure I did," I said. "I've seen him several times before, and
he walked right by you most of the way back here," I couldn't understand
why Ashley had such a reaction to my question, or description.
She shook her head fiercely in
refusal and backed away from me. I
noticed the look of fear, pain, and guilt collect on her face before she turned
and ran across the lot to her apartment.
"Good going Eris," the
other girl said in a hushed, but obviously debasing voice. "Matt disappeared a month before you
moved here. No one has seen him, or
heard from him since,"
"Who's Matt?" I asked.
"Ashley's older brother,"
she said. "He got into a fight with
their parents and took off one night. I don’t
know how you found out about his shirt, but that was pretty cruel of you to do
that to Ashley. Especially after all
she's done for you. She's the one that
wanted to include you in our group. I
gotta go." She took off before I
could say anything else. The sting in
this girl's voice and the look on Ashley's face stunned me into silent
immobility.
