About this ebook

It was an accident.
Alice Appleton had one skill in the magical community, creating shields. Her shields keep the shadow creatures, monsters with a taste for magic infused blood, away. Despite its usefulness, she is viewed as one of the lesser trades, her skills called to a job site after plumbing and wiring was done, but before insulation and drywall. Although paid very well, she is not one of the hidden magical community’s powerhouses. She is not of the elite and not in charge of anything. While she disagrees with some of the restrictions placed upon her by the Commission, she has no intention of challenging the status quo.
All that changes when she ends up buying The Ravenwood Arms Apartment building. Her simple decision to create shields for her apartments before renting them out tilts her world in unexpected ways and creates a havoc she never intended. Suddenly she is thrust out of obscurity and into the middle of a growing social and economic debate. Sure she gets to spend time with the attractive contractor she’s had a crush on for years, but is one mid-range apartment really worth this much trouble?

Author

Valerie Gaumont

Valerie Gaumont is an evil genius whose mission is to take over the world. Her latest efforts were thwarted when her flying monkey army discovered beer. Currently they are in Rehab because no one likes a drunk flying monkey. (Thank you for your cards and letters of support.) When she is taking a break from villainy she can often be found with a pen in her hand. Yes, sometimes she is doodling, other times writing fiction and discovering new and interesting ways to combine reality with the outré. She has had short stories in the Violet Ampersand Anthology, Poetry, Prose and Other Voyages to the Edge, and the online Journal, Gothic Fairytales for Melancholy Children. In 2007 she was listed as a finalist in the William Faulkner International Writing Competition in the Novel-In-Progress category.
