Eleanor is a modest girl, unremarkable but extraordinary, young but old, malleable but fixed. She is scared and confused. She is a liar and a thief. Eleanor is not what she appears to be.
The Unseen Saga is currently at three volumes. The first book is a standalone.
The Unseen is a YA Paranormal series about a young girl growing up in a small Wyoming town. She is called Eleanor. She lives in Jamesford, but she isn't from there. She's a transplant. And she's not so very young.
Part of the story was inspired by a southwest Navajo legend I first encountered reading Tony Hillerman. I saw in that legend a metaphor for life and of growing up. It gave me an opportunity to explore the complexities of identity and change in the development of a true outsider.
The Unseen is a paramoral coming-of-age story. It is a romance. A fable. It is a tale of love and survival, debt, remembering, forgiveness and danger.
