b'This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Kate Elliott, author of The Keeper’s Six.
\\nAbout The Keeper’s Six: It\\u2019s been a year since Esther set foot in the Beyond, the alien landscape stretching between worlds, crossing boundaries of space and time. She and her magical traveling party?her Hex?haven\\u2019t spoken since the Concilium banned them from the Beyond for a decade. But when she wakes in the middle of the night to her grown son\\u2019s cry for help, the members of her Hex are the only ones she can trust to help her bring him back from wherever he has been taken.
\\nEsther will have to risk everything to find him. Undercover and hidden from the Concilium, she and her Hex will be tested by false dragon lords, a darkness so dense it can suffocate, and the bones of an old crime come back to haunt her.
\\nAbout Kate Elliott: Kate Elliott has been writing stories since she was nine years old, which has led her to believe that writing, like breathing, keeps her alive. As a child in rural Oregon, she made up stories because she longed to escape to a world of lurid adventure fiction.
\\nHer most recent novel is Unconquerable Sun, gender swapped Alexander the Great in space. She is also known for her Crown of Stars epic fantasy series, the Afro-Celtic post-Roman alt-history fantasy (with lawyer dinosaurs) Cold Magic and sequels, the science fiction Novels of the Jaran and YA fantasy Court of Fives, and the epic fantasy Crossroads trilogy with giant justice eagles.
\\nHer particular focus is immersive world building & centering women in epic stories of adventure & transformative cultural change. She lives in Hawaii, where she paddles outrigger canoes & spoils her schnauzer.
