AUTHOR, SORCERESS OF THE HIMALAYAS

In high school, I independently published (via Crystallius Press) a fantasy fiction novel for middle graders. 

After her village is torched by agents of an evil Force, a cryptic note from her guardian sends Tien Ming, a girl of mixed race, on a perilous quest for a spellbook that will give the holder immense power, wealth and immortality. Accompanying her are two magical creatures - a shapeshifting owl and golden snow leopard - each with their own reasons for possessing the book.
