    About this ebook

    With her one-woman puppet show being optioned for an off-Broadway musical and the squad’s alt-health clearinghouse flipping the charts, it would appear the future’s coming up roses—but Hannah has nagging doubts and enlists the aid of an ancient ritual stick to plumb the depths of Psyche’s most wanted. An original sketch in 24 frames. Love’s Crucible is the ninth book in The Hannah Chronicles.

    Author

    Brian S. Parrish

    Author Brian Parrish is an awed believer in the power of story and a regular patron of the dreaming. However, he's best known as a virtual stunt pilot, human cannonball coach, Indianapolis slot car racer and tender tiger tamer—in a parallel universe, that is, where his Elkhart Blue 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS has been impounded for extraordinary parking fee accumulation. In this one, he scribbles the odd story and subscribes to the International Psychic Cat Network. He lives in the rolling red hills of Virginia with an ambling caravan of family, friends and familiars.
