Anja's Reckoning: Two Tales Of The Veil - Paperback

Rector, Stevie L.: - "Stevie Rector - From Bedtime Stories to Mythological EpicsStorytelling began as a quiet ritual-a way to bring fairies, dragons, tough princesses, and sensitive heroic princes to life for Stevie Rector's children at bedtime. With two daughters and a son eagerly awaiting new adventures, they wove tales of wonder, chaos, and transformation night after night.Their husband listened, encouraged, and eventually pushed Stevie toward something greater-fairy tales for adults. These stories carried the same magic but pulsed with deeper emotion, psychological tension, and mythological intrigue.Now, Stevie crafts worlds that defy the ordinary, stories where gods whisper, shadows breathe, and transformation is both terrifying and beautiful. Living in the quiet rhythms of West Terre Haute, Indiana, they revel in the contrast, finding inspiration in the mundane and spinning it into spectacular, faraway places filled with wonderful chaos and beautiful insanity."Bradford, Crystal: - Crystal Bradford is an emerging editor and educator based in Republic, Missouri.
