Synopsis

A young girl. A diabolical gargoyle. A sacrifice to save the world. A smart young girl is unwillingly thrust into a frantic quest to save mysterious people and bizarre creatures from a deadly foe, determined to destroy everything--and everyone--she cares about. Thirteen-year-old Danielle had never thought of herself as adventurous until, alone, she must face two enormous gargoyles, Ercen and Kimar, and decide whether she trusts them. Was she kidnapped--as all the evidence indicates--or rescued from doom, like they say? Can she believe their assertion that she has a power to save the entire world from a diabolical gargoyle and his minions? How can a simple girl break the monstrous power of the key to the enemy's ghastly temple, crafted from the very soul of a broken, elderly woman? Danielle's epic journey will captivate readers as she confronts powerful threats, and finds perplexing friends along her dangerous path. With the help of a gargoyle names Lohxnahr, Danielle struggles against forces beyond her worst terrors. She must dig deep to find enough courage and resilience to challenge the rogue gargoyle commander of the renegade army, bent on seizing control of the human race. Full of wonder, suspense and adventure, this novel is a fun, page-turning fantasy that also asks serious questions about the true meaning of love, faith and friendship.

Fight In Flight

When I started writing this novel, I really had no idea even what it was going to be about. I did know, however, what it would not be about: zombies or vampires. So, it was quite a surprise when it came to me that gargoyles needed to be primary characters in my teen-focused fantasy adventure. Once that decision was made, it meant that we'd get to see gargoyles in flight. Which then led almost instantly to the happy realization there'd be fights during flights. It's hard to express just how happy it makes me to write scenes where the battle goes airborne. I hope you enjoy this bubble. Imagine what it would feel like to hang like a sack of potatoes from the arm of a gargoyle in flight, let alone in fight. Whee! Grab the book to see what happens. ~BK #fightinflight #notfightorflight #airborne #dreamyourdreams #gargoyles #happywriter #hangontight #airsick #fantasy #adventure #dontgiveup #epic #readabook #awardwinning #teensandyoungadults #TheQuestForTheTempleKey

Book Excerpt

The Quest for the Temple Key

Ercen dropped her right wing and swerved over to Kimar. “Give him to me! Save the girl!” she wailed over the wind, reaching out her right arm. Her wings began flapping faster.

Without a word, Kimar eased Peter from his tucked position and swung him over to Ercen, who tucked him under her other wing.

Immediately, Kimar retracted his wings against his back, tipped his head forward and dropped like a meteor. Peter could see the edges of Kimar’s wings thrust out slightly, and he watched the huge gargoyle veer back towards their home. Moments later, Kimar blasted a new hole through their roof.
