Who says you have only one soul mate? And you thought your life had drama.
Emily Wren is a girl waiting to find Mr. Right and fall in love. But she's unaware that a great tragedy has happened, killing her soul mate and the backup one, two young men that she's never met. Does that mean she's doomed to a life without true love?
A supernatural race known as Paragons - who work in the shadows - must do something unthinkable. They must retrofit a new soul mate for her; change the make up of a human's soul so that he's her perfect complement in every way. One wrong move could create a monster, yet it's the only option for insuring a soul mate match which releases much needed magic into the world.
Reshaping the precious hallmarks and soul markers is a nasty painful business without guarantees. But they must try- if the girl is to have any shot at real happiness.
Emily is focused on school and her budding career. Smart, confident, feisty and too modest to realize her own beauty, she's never had a boyfriend. If her protector is successful that could soon change.
Life in the supernatural world, even the secret world of Paragons, is never quite that simple. Treachery from an unsuspected quarter threatens the super immortal's plans. Even more baffling- vampires, werewolves, a shapeshifter, witches and a psychic have suddenly developed a not so subtle interest in the love life of the girl.
Will she meet her soul mate? Or is something else going on? Is there more at stake than the happiness of one special human? Read Luminary, the first book in the Luminary Saga by P.S. Meraux.

About the Author: I mainline coffee and chocolate, worry about the width of my hips and peruse too many cooking magazines. I suspect I wouldn't fret about one if I didn't indulge in the other. I'm obsessive about quality, so much so, I keep going back to tweak my earlier books, hoping to make them better. "Why are your characters flawed?" one reviewer asked. "Because people are," I replied. Although I'm very protective of them, hoping beyond measure that they'll find acceptance. Not ridicule. As a true 'GRITS' (girl raised in the south) people expect me to have bat-shit crazy relatives. The question here isn't IF, but rather, which side of the family are they on? Needless to say they offer a pool of inspiration into which I liberally dip. My characters are a bit OCD. Not in the vein of obsessive-compulsive, that would be too a la carte, mine are 'occasionally crazy or damaged.' And I think you'll enjoy them. As someone who understands wrestling with complex issues, it's easy to share their stories. I myself grew up with an ill mum, so I began creating imaginary friends at a young age to keep me company. In addition to writing and cooking, I'm an avid mountain climber who keeps up with an assortment of pets. As a life-long globe trotter, I can tell you that I like nothing better than a good story and a road trip. I hope you enjoy this one. Please let me know what works and what doesn't. I'm always interested in hearing feedback, reviews, comments, and questions are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Happy reading.
