The small town of Elliot Lake will never be the same again.
Caught in a sudden thunderstorm, Zoe, a high school senior from Elliot Lake,
and five of her friends take shelter in an abandoned uranium mine. Over the
next few days, Zoe’s hearing sharpens drastically, beyond what any normal human
being can detect. She tells her friends, only to learn that four others have an
increased sense as well. Only Kieran, the new boy from Scotland, isn’t
affected.
Fashioning themselves into superheroes, the group tries to stop the strange
occurrences happening in their little town. Muggings, break-ins,
disappearances, and murder begin to hit too close to home. It leads the team to
think someone knows about their secret – someone who wants them all dead.
An incredulous group of heroes. A traitor in the midst. Some dreams are written
in blood.

Wanita
May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy
childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The
youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her
at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At
sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she
turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued
to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for
those metric-ly challenged). She attended University of Toronto, and
Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA
Indoors Runner Up + more.
But
you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious
to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more
than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World
Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition.
From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days
she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen,
the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite
past time.
Life
continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met
at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their
house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita
and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables -
particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After
her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she
still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A
passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting
it off.
Her
first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available
October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is
currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a
writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses
take her.
