Sixteen-year-old
Harper Deveraux has longed for an adventure ever since her mother
died of cancer four years ago. Much to her dismay, she is stuck in
Glen Eden, a small mountain town in upstate New York that does little
to fuel her hopes and dreams.
Another
year of high school has begun, and with the Moon Dance only a few
weeks away, Harper suddenly finds herself torn between the affections
of two boys: her best friend Jack, and a new boy from the City named
Knes who might not be from this world.
Strange
things begin to happen in Glen Eden when Harper uncovers a mystery
that involved her mother and a realm shrouded in darkness that lies
beyond the wall... A realm that Knes intends to take her to. Only
Jack stands in his way.
Light
In My Dark, is an action-packed modern YA fantasy, filled with dark
forces, love, and self-discovery.

Excerpt:
With an
arm out front as a shield, Jack pressed through the unnatural
pitch-black, swiping back the grasping monsters. Up ahead, there was
a change in the darkness, a lightening of sorts. The nightmarish
dread clung to him as he fought to reach the break ahead.
And then
he was through.
All
around him was a world of twilight. Gone was the crisp autumn air of
Glen Eden. Instead, the air weighed on his body, thick like that of a
humid summer day.
"Harper?"
he called out as he scanned the half-light of the night.
It
appeared to be evening, dusk, or just after.
Nervously,
he walked forward, stumbling a little as his sneakers caught on the
flat stone platform in front of the shadowed wall he had just come
through. At the end of the platform, there was a set of steps that
led down into a grassy glade that was surrounded by a thick hedge of
tall shrubs. Two great shadowy figures flanked the steps like ghostly
statues of some ancient cemetery. He could not see their faces, for
they were turned away from the wall.
"Harper?
Are you there?" he called out again.
When no
one answered, he crept forward and down the steps, eyeing the stone
statues as he passed between them. The air became heavier, making him
nervous, but he kept going.
