The treelike photo you see on one side is actually a small iceberg that has partially melted into this shape. I took the photo in Glacier Bay up in Alaska. Icebergs are fascinating things, even if they haven't transformed into fantastical shapes. They glow an eerie blue. They make sharp almost gunshot-like noises. They blockade ships and, as we know, sometimes sink them. They tell us much about our warming planet. The excerpt on the other side is the first chapter, or prologue as some would call it, of my novella, Dormant Power, which soon will be moved from my website, where it is currently free, to Amazon and other outlets, where it will acquire a sales price. Better to get it while it's free. AuthorCathyParker.com. At 29,000 words, the novel presents the tale of sisters with paranormal powers searching for their mother, who, you might guess, is the subject of the prologue. This book takes place in the universe of Shannon Kendricks, the protagonist of the Power Rising trilogy, and Shannon makes a modest appearance. Visit my website and pick it up while it's free.

Book Excerpt
Power Stabilized
A rough shaking rattled her. “Come on, you. You’re coming with me.”
Who spoke to her with such bitter anger? The woman heard the hate streaming from this stranger’s words, felt it in the cruelty of the shaking. A woman’s voice and hands.
“No, please, leave me alone.” The woman understood she shouldn’t go with this unknown woman. But she couldn’t clear her head, couldn’t quite come awake.
Too weak to fight her.
The stranger pulled her onto her feet, threw the woman’s arm over her shoulder, and wrapped the other arm around her back.
Pain. Can’t walk.
The stranger dragged her along the gray linoleum floor and through the arched doorway. Down a narrow, shiny white hall. Her consciousness fled again. She knew only blackness until she awakened in a nightmare basement that would be her prison for decades to come.
