Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together … all things connect.

End of May, lots to say. Even though it’s not officially Summer yet, we’ve decided to kick off our Summer announcements, so expect to see this little corner of the interwebs filled every week with news, excitement and other goodies. This week we’re honored to announce the newest addition to the REUTS family, an original REUTie, Carly Drake. Her YA Fantasy titled A CHOSEN WAR will be available Fall 2015:

Mother Earth, one of the six key guardians charged with protecting the Earth, has gone rogue, determined to conquer the universe and eliminate the one thing standing in her way: seventeen-year-old Maia. But Maia isn’t aware she’s been assigned to fill those shoes until the animals begin to talk to her. Now, pulled into a war against her will, she must choose—sacrifice her humanity and save the Earth, or walk away and give up her destiny as the new Earth guardian.

Told in a traditional omniscient narrative style that evokes shades of industry giant J.K. Rowling, Drake captures the turmoil that everyone faces as they transition from high school into adulthood, pairing a magical world of elemental mythology with a tale of discovering identity that resonates on many levels.

About Carly

10285513_801807256578618_7374400572448037378_oCarly loves stories no matter the medium. Ballet, theater, movies, books, a good story is a good story and that is where her passion lies. All she wants is to tell a good story, one that evokes emotion and a good time. Carly has lived all over the country so there’s no telling where she currently calls home, but you can be sure there is always a furry friend or two around and her two kiddos close at hand.

Ash

Ashley "A.M." Ruggirello is an INFP author with glorious purple and gray hair, who currently lives in Beer and Cheese Land, Wisconsin with her husband, dog, and cat. When not lost in the fictional world of Skyrim (The Elder Scrolls; PSN: supersmaaashley), she can be found exploring design patterns and typography combinations, manipulating (hacking) website code, or with pen & paper in hand, writing her many YA and Adult novels (see below). She considers herself a designer by nature, a writer at heart, and always wanted to make video game walk-throughs as a child. (She still does. Things don't change that much.) Ashley’s favorite color is chartreuse, and she has an undeniable attraction to moss (not of the Kate variety). Ashley is represented by Mandy Hubbard of Emerald City Literary Agency.
