Who says old gods can't learn new tricks? When Sierra Carter, out-of-work PR executive, receives a call from Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent god of the Aztecs, she doesn't know why she has to be the one to save the world.
She discovers that her former firm's semiconductors are in reality a means of spreading a deadly evil around the world. Necocyaotl, Aztec god of death and destruction, has placed his essence in every device, causing people to place their self-interest and selfish desires above all else. If she's going to stop him, however, she'll need some help.
Chaco, also known as Coyotl the Trickster, is a handsome young man when he isn't being a coyote--and an excellent cook. Fred the mannegishi has the gift of disappearing at will. Rose, a Native American shaman, teaches Sierra how to develop her inner powers. Kaylee, a marketing manager, is also a practitioner of Voudon. And Clancy Forrester, chief of security for Sierra's former employer, reluctantly enters the fray.
Necocyaotl's team is playing for keeps, and the evil god brings an ice demons, dark spirits, and assorted monsters into the game to bolster his more human henchmen and -women. Sierra and her friends constantly find themselves on the precipice of disaster, with the fate of the world depending on keeping defeat from being snatched from the very pointy jaws of victory.
Sharp and funny, K.D. Keenan has inherited the mantle of stalwarts like Douglas Adams, and THE OBSIDIAN MIRROR is a masterpiece of thrills for every fantasy reader.
K.D. Keenan worked in the high technology industries for 30-plus years as a content creator and public relations expert. She founded her own PR agency, named one of Silicon Valley's Top 25 PR agencies for 10 years running by the Silicon Valley Business Journal. Today, she focuses on her fiction writing, her grandchildren, and a long list of things she'd like to do if there were more hours in the day. Keenan has always been a voracious reader. Having worked through her grandparents' extensive library of Victorian children's literature, she began reading fantasy and science fiction at the age of nine--a move that curbed her tendency to write with a mid-Nineteenth Century flair that was never really appreciated by her English teachers. The Obsidian Mirror, the first book in a trilogy, tells the tale of a Silicon Valley PR executive whose life takes a turn for the weird when a fast-talking coyote appears on her doorstep and plunges her into a whirlwind of hijacked technology, ancient evil, and environmental threat. Fire in the Ocean picks up Sierra's story as she embarks on a tropical vacation but instead encounters the ancient magic of the "isle of sorcerers" as she fights to protect the precious natural environment of Hawai'i. Keenan and her husband of 45 years have two grown children and two grandchildren.
