PRAISE

"Film critic and author Overstreet (Through a Screen Darkly) offers

a powerful myth for his first foray into fiction. Overstreet's

writing is precise and beautiful, and the story is masterfully

told. Readers will be hungry for the next installment."

--Publishers Weekly

"Through word, image, and color Jeffrey Overstreet has crafted a

work of art. From first to final page this original fantasy is sure

to draw readers in. Auralia's Colors sparkles."

--Janet Lee Carey, award-winning author of The Beast of

Noor and Dragon's Keep

"Jeffrey Overstreet's first fantasy, Auralia's Colors, and its

heroine's cloak of wonders take their power from a vision of art

that is auroral, looking to the return of beauty, and that intends

to restore spirit and and mystery to the world. The book achieves

its ends by the creation of a rich, complex universe and a series

of dramatic, explosive events."

--Marly Youmans, author of Ingledove and The

Curse of the Raven Mocker
