New York City 1984: It’s Emerald Kipp’s
sixteenth birthday, and nothing has changed. She’s still the biggest loser in
school, she’s still trying to find a place for herself and yeah, she’s still a
witch. Her last year of high school is turning out to be the worst yet, and
Emerald thinks it can’t possibly get any worse. Unfortunately for her, she’s
dead wrong.
East Hampton, NY 1658: The Pennyfeathers are the black sheep of their small
English settlement. As hard as they try to keep the family secrets just that,
the magical bunch just can’t seem to fit in. But when a High Priestess witch
chooses 16-year-old Margo Pennyfeather as an apprentice, Margo’s luck finally
begins to change. What she doesn’t know, is there’s a lot more to her
apprenticeship, and to being a witch, than she could ever imagine

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Claribel
Ortega is a graduate of the SUNY Purchase journalism program, and got her start
writing for the school’s Independent Newspaper. There, she quickly rose the
ranks from editing the student’s often times hilarious ads and ramblings on the
back page of the paper to staff and feature writer.
After
graduation, Claribel worked as a reporter for The Rivertowns Enterprise, a
local paper in lower Westchester County, New York. As a reporter, she enjoyed
going to board of education meetings and texting the town mayors about the line
at Starbucks.
Today,
Claribel works for The Combined Book Exhibit, a book marketing company in
Westchester NY.
She lives in
New York with her really awesome boyfriend, her suspiciously intelligent yorkie
Pancho Villa and is surrounded by an impenetrable fort of books she gets from
her job.
“The
Skinwalker’s Apprentice” is her first book, and cheese is her favorite food.
