Emily H. Jeffries is a theology teacher and speaker with bachelors degrees in drama and religious studies from the University of Virginia and a master's in sacred theology from the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC, where most of her classmates were wizards-that is, friars. She currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, baby daughter, Aussie-doodle, and herbs.
Fyrian's Fire is a thrilling debut. The characters are not only interesting but unique, and the story line is woven with delightful elements of the fantastical. Excited to see more from Emily! -Lauren H. Brandenburg, Carol Award-winning author of The Death of Mungo Blackwell and The Books of the Gardener series Imagine bits of Narnia and Redwall swirling together in and out of the life of a proud princess who becomes a reluctant heroine. Altogether a delightful moral tale. -Christine Norvell, educator and senior contributor, The Imaginative Conservative I haven't been this delighted with YA fantasy since I don't know when. Not only was Fyrian's Fire refreshingly devoid of any PG-13 material; it is also just plain good. Jeffries's prose is comfortable and warm, much like a certain bear. She gives her characters incredible vibrancy-each has his or her own unique voice. -Adelaide Thorne, author of the Whitewashed trilogy This book is just the sweetest and most adorable book ever...The story is well written and super engaging. The characters are colorful and memorable, and what I liked even more about it was the message behind the story! It is everything a good clean YA book should be. I highly recommend it! Can't wait to read Emily's future books. -Breny Maurtua, author and Christian book reviewer at Breny and Books It's hard to believe that Fyrian's Fire is this author's first novel...The story is enchanting, engaging, and beautifully written. It engaged my daughters and me right away and kept us wanting to read more! We were swept away to another land and time, taken away from the ordinary into something exciting and beautiful...We can't wait to read the upcoming sequel! -Amazon reviewer
