October 10, 2024 – City Owl Press is delighted to announce the signing of CJ Holmes in a four-book deal for her series, STARSFALL. "CJ is an absolute delight!" said editor Tee Tate.
A curse. A reaping. A darkness that devours destiny.
Azhara endures her father's cruelty within Starsfall's palace, finally fleeing as she defies the Gods to stop another Reaping. Her escape fails and when the Reaping's brutal trials begin, she finds herself torn between two men, both offering her freedom from the curse that holds her prisoner and threatens to destroy Starsfall. As she unpicks the lies told by the men around her, Azhara's choice becomes clear. Either she finds the strength to contain her darkness, or she surrenders to it, condemning Starsfall to the evil lurking in the labyrinth beneath it.
CJ Holmes lives in England, where it's cold and damp, and it's always raining - which provides her with enough time to write stories about magic, fantasy and romance. She'd like to escape to somewhere warm but that might mean that she spends too much time sunbathing and not enough time writing books.
She lives in a quaint English cottage that would have one of those idyllic gardens if her fingers weren't the opposite of green. Fortunately, her husband doesn't seem to mind that almost everything she tries to grow dies instead. She enjoys drinking wine and gin, which conveniently coincides with her love of reading and writing.
