Blurb/Synopsis:
Emerald City Dreamer is book one of the
urban fantasy series, Dreams by Streetlight, set in Seattle. Jina is a
rock star and a faerie hunter, who users music as her weapon. But she is
a dreamer, so her music also attracts and feeds the fae.
As she finds herself falling in love with an
elf, conflicts with Sandy escalate.
Enemies begin to gather, and Jina must make a
choice between loyalty and what she believes.
Delve into this deeply developed,
internally consistent world of the fae, and meet beings who are
simultaneously alien, elegant, and terrifying, fueled by dreams and the
creative energy of artists. Glimpse the secret world of Tir Nan Og
through the eyes of fully fledged four-dimensional characters living in a
Seattle that is just a bit weirder than you think.
This is a story with psychological depth,
a page-turner with unexpected twists and turns.
Long
Blurb/Synopsis (also on Amazon):
Jina and Sandy survived the unthinkable. Now they've set up a secret Order in Seattle
to fight the impossible - fairytale creatures born of human nightmares and
nourished on dreams. Their tools: iron,
lore, science, glamour, and support groups.
As beginners, without access to the ancient societies of faerie hunters,
they must rediscover how to protect themselves.
And in order to fight the fiends of the world, Sandy must take control
her inner ghosts.
As a dreamer in a rock band, Jina unknowingly
feeds the fae and attracts unseen enemies at every turn. Now, they're finally on the tail of at least
one dark monster bent on evil. She is a
dreamer, so she must follow her heart - but which way does it lead?
Jett is an elf who only wants to protect her
hodge-podge clan of faeries from the encroaching world of science and religion
- which have systematically slaughtered her kind and the beliefs that gave
birth to her people. True dreamers are
rare beings, and when she finds them, she does everything she can to protect
them and claim them as her own.
Ezra is a teenager who never feels comfortable
in his own skin. Most people like him
well enough, but when he looks in the mirror, he sees a demon. He has been taken in by the Garbage Eaters,
who expect obedience and purity. Before
long, he suffers a crisis of faith that may lead him into real danger.

About the Author
Medium bio:
Luna is an indie author located in Seattle, WA. Her first story
(about a hippopotamus) crawled out of her head at the early age of 4. Her mom
had to write it down for her. After running out of things to say about
hippopotami, she switched genres to sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. During a
ten-year break from fiction, she primarily wrote non-fiction and became an
accidental expert on mind control, computers, and faeries. After returning
to fiction in 2010, she now publishes ebooks and seeks publication in short
story markets. She has written over thirty short stories and three
novels.

Lake City, UT. She grew up in the
Tri-Cities, Washington, spending time between the three cities of Richland,
Pasco, Kennewick, and outlying town Benton City.
She grew up reading her father's sci-fi collection, which
included many classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Orson Scott Card. She was homeschooled, and as a child was into

speeches, computers, and raising rabbits.
She started attending cons and playing RPGs in her early 20s.
In 2003, Luna moved to Seattle.

topics. Her interests are many, and

computer software industries, before quitting to write full time in 2010. She has written over thirty short stories and
three novels.

Book Review:
Wow!
That’s all I have to say. This is
a twisting turning page turner of a novel.
More happens in this book than I could even begin to cover here. First know that Fae are real, and some of
them capture and torture people. Jina
and Cathy are two such people and they aren’t going to take it lying down. They are going to fight back.
Then Jina meets Jett and things
change. Suddenly she doesn’t want to
kill the Fae, she’s in love. But her
best friend who was tortured by a fae also, isn’t ready to give up her anger
and her desire to kill.
This was a hard book to read. It’s not a simple little story. You have to pay attention to the characters
and plot or it’s easy to get lost.
However, a little attention is an easy trade-off for such a great
story. I give this story 4 out of 5
clouds.
