Greetings! I'm Jeri Smith-Ready, a novelist from Central Maryland (yes, even the little states like to divide themselves up). My first "big-time" fantasy novel, Eyes of Crow, hit the shelves last Halloween.
If you've ever been curious about the novel-writing and -publishing process, hop on over to my blog, where you can share my ups, downs, and sideways as I navigate the choppy but thrilling waters of first-time publication.

More about EYES OF CROW
(Luna Books, November 2006)
She was born to die . . . again and again.For Rhia was bound to the Spirit of Crow, gifted with the foresight of Death's approach and doomed to the isolation of one feared and set apart. There must always be one whose magic can ease the passage of the people of Asermos to the Other Side.
But to be the guide her people require, to truly know the depth of her gift-her curse-Rhia must surrender herself to the wisdom of the Great Forest . . . and drink deeply of Death itself.
And though two powerful men stand ready to aid her, even to love her, the Aspect of Crow demands unthinkable sacrifices from the one who walks its path.
Enter the world of ASPECT OF CROW, a new fantasy trilogy where humans and animals meet in magic.
