In early 2007 through the now disappeared Nick Black message board i met an amazingly talented person... (actually i met a few amazing talented people) but this particular person was Stephanie Graber an author, graphic artist and complete sci-fi NERD!!!!!
so we soon became good friends and i started proof reading her books starting with Blood Tie then Assassin's Blood then New Blood and some unfinished works... but amoung them was a little title then called 'Ausverden' I loved the book from the first time she sent me what she had written and was sad that it got left behind in late 2008, early in to its creation, around the time Steph went to LA for the Twilight premiere.
then last year Steph started writing more of 'Ausverden' (i may have been a pain in the arse about it... occasionally...lol) and near the end Steph asked for people to edit it, i myself and a few others put up our hand up (even though im grammarly challenged I'm good at picking up mistakes that spellcheck doesn't).
the 'Ausverden' became 'Through The Painting'
Which was finally released Last week on LuLu.com
Blurb: Zoe and Dean have been best friends since they could talk. Dean grew up as a normal teenage boy would with girl problems, pimples, and parental rebelliousness. Zoe, however, did not. She grew up with the developing powers of reading thoughts, moving things without touching them, shape-shifting, and controlling fire, though she’s working on the “controlling” part. Although her powers have seemed to prove nothing more than a maturing problem her entire life, Zoe soon discovers that all gifts have a purpose and hers will take the pair of them to a world they could only imagine to face foes they never thought could exist. To accomplish her goal, Zoe must learn to control her abilities in order to fight to rescue a falling world and accept who she was born to become. Dean’s still working on the pimples…
