Jane's big challenge in this novel is discovering, and coming to terms with, her supernatural ancestry. Her narrative voice is the chief joy of this novel she's got a lovely, warm sense of humor, knows how to laugh at herself, and while she's always ready with a quip she isn't snide or snarky like some (occasionally very funny) more world-weary paranormal heroines. Jane has faced some pretty major challenges in her life - the mysterious disappearance of her mother and the tragic death of her childhood true love chief among them - and she's come out the other side a better person: she's pragmatic, funny, and resilient.

As TEMPEST RISING opens we meet Jane True, a young woman living a quiet life in a small town on the coast of Maine, working in a bookstore and taking care of her single dad.
