Author

Bonnie S. Calhoun

Bonnie S. Calhoun is the author of Thunder and Lightning, the first two books in the Stone Braide Chronicles. She loves to write, but it doesn't make her happy unless there are the three Bs: body count, blood, and blowing things up. She also has mad skills at coding HTML and website design. Bonnie lives in a log cabin in the woods with fifteen acres and a pond full of bass. But she'd rather buy fish, ready to eat and under plastic, at the grocery store. She shares her domain with a husband, a dog, and two cats, all of whom think she is waitstaff. Learn more at www.bonniescalhoun.com.

    Selah Rishon had waited impatiently for the AirWagons to pick up her group, and now the trip seemed to take forever. She ached to get back to the Mountain cave. Her brain kept repeating, What if? What if Glade had survived? She peered over the side of the AirWagon, trying to distinguish landmarks as tendrils of her long dark hair whipped across her eyes, stinging them and prompting tears.

    We’re coming up on the cave side of the range, but it’s all mud-covered rubble that’s baking dry. I can’t make out landmarks or openings, Mari said.

    The range, scrubbed clean by the raging torrents, resembled a wasteland. Splintered sticks stuck to the ground by their roots, representing what had once been trees. Selah gawked at the now-concave depression where the Mountain top had blown off, releasing millions of pounds of chemicals into the atmosphere.

    How does someone even think this up, let alone accomplish it? she thought. The cloud seeding had resulted in a chemical rain deluge that burst numerous dams, cleared a mountain pass to the West, nearly killed her whole team, and sealed the Mountain for an eternity.

    Bodhi hurried over and took her arm. Selah, stop. What if one of them rolls down on you?

    She brushed his hand away. I have to know. I can’t just leave him here if there’s hope. She clambered over another boulder.

    Mari grimaced. "Father prepared me for his demise many years ago, and I feel fortunate I got to see him one last time when I never expected to see him again. My heart is telling me he is truly gone, and I’m at
