**HAPPY BIRTHDAY**
Gathering Water

BLURB
There are plenty of things
I could tell you about my life; plenty of things happened during my years in an
inept foster care system. But my real story—when my life really began—started on
the day I turned eighteen.
It was the day I discovered
who I was. I learned my real name, my dead mother’s identity, and where we come
from. These simple things prompted me to pack my meager belongings, hop on a
plane, and come home to the dilapidated house in North Carolina that belonged
to the mother I never knew.
Even
though I have a home and a family for the first time, my thoughts are still
burning with unanswered questions. Like why did my mother run away? Why the
heck has my skin started to tingle every time it touches the water? And who—or
what—is my father really? Because it definitely isn’t human--
And if all
that weren’t enough, there’s this guy, Dove. Yeah, he might be a distraction
from my true purpose, but when he offers a healing hand to sooth the damage
from my past, I’m helpless to resist.
All I ever
wanted was to know who I am, but my
journey to self-discovery might just lead to the destruction of mankind.
My name is Della Doe Deare
and this, well, this is my story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A Tidewater girl born and bred, my first friend and love was the Atlantic. Growing up being told the legends about Pirates and American Natives common in coastal VA and NC, coupled with being an only child, did wonders for my imagination; I've had one foot in fantasy-land ever since, a trait my dear husband heroically endures (and one I secretly hope my daughters have inherited). We moved inland to Nashville while I was entering tweenhood and not a day goes by that I don't miss my childhood playmate and her crashing waves. Nashville has her perks though, namely the love of my life and our two sweet girls. Our insane mutt-dog and the stray cat that refuses to leave our porch aren't too bad either. I love fairy tales A LOT, teen movies (preferably with dancing or singing), read entirely too much, and am constantly late.
