Today I have a guest post by C.J. Hill, the author of the new book Slayers.

The Lens and the Looker is the first book in the Verona trilogy, a YA science fiction trilogy in which three teens from the 24th century are sent back to 14th century Verona. “Where do characters come from?” You might as well ask, “Is there life on other planets?” This is a question to […]
