In a small town like Coyote, Nevada, everyone knows the new kid. Mica didn’t realize how much some of them would know. Before her first day of school is over, she meets a group of kids that know more about her than she could ever dream. They told Mica her dad works at Area 51, not Nellis Air Force Base like he told her. Now they want her to spy on him to see what’s going on at Area 51. Mica doesn’t feel right about spying on her dad and besides, she’s not even sure Area 51 really exists. She’s used to her dad having to keep different parts about his job secret, but she has a hard time believing he would lie to her about their family. This all changes when she catches him in a lie. Now Mica is on the hunt for answers. Is her grandpap still alive? Does her Dad really work at Area 51? What is this top secret aircraft he is testing? With the help of her new friends, Mica will find the answers she is looking for.

The world has come to an end. It doesn’t go out with a bang, or even a whimper. It goes out in an orgy of blood and the dead rising from their graves to feast on living flesh. As democracy crumples and the world melts into anarchy, five families in the U.S. rise to protect the survivors. The undead hate a humid environment, so they are migrating westward to escape its deteriorating effects. The survivors are constructing a wall in North Platte to keep the zombie threat to the west, while tyranny rules among the humans to the east. Capable but naïve Krista is 15 when the first attacks occur, and she loses her family and barely escapes with her life. She makes her way to the wall and begins a new life. But, as the undead threat grows and dictators brainwash those she cares about, Krista must fight not only to survive but also to defend everything she holds dear—her country, her freedom, and ultimately those she loves.

Alethea Eason’s newest book, The Heron’s Path, has all the grace of the river that flows through its pages. One steps lithely into the world of Katy and her delicate sister Celeste. It is a world where the old and the new mingle, the Old Ones hold a knowing but genteel sway and the country man perhaps shouldn’t be so trusting of his dulled senses. Will Celeste come to know the purpose of her wanderings and dreams? Will Katy and aged Olena be able to keep her from the clutches of the evil we-nei-la? Follow them “north to the true wilderness, dark with ancient trees, where the Nanchuti struggle to keep their sacred songs from vanishing.” Like the current of the river Talum that witnesses all within these pages, you too will be swept along in the adventure, sometimes in reflective pools, sometimes drawn inexorably to the falls… to find the Heron’s Path.
