Meet the Author

Born in Russia, Lada Ray always wanted to write cool stories, which she'd been imagining in her head ever since she can remember. Instead, she listened to her well-meaning parents and started her life in a more traditional way (for her, that is). She is a linguist, internationally certified feng shui master practitioner, world traveler, financial consultant, nature lover, spirituality & metaphysics researcher, and writer. Lada imagines her stories in bustling New York City and the serene Catskill Mountains, New York, where she lives with her family and gorgeous calico cat.

    Reap what YOU SOW!

    Very nice story of karma, and how our lives are much more interconnected than we really realize. One's actions have very real consequences in this world whether we may be consciously aware of it or not. So the lesson is to realize the future of humanity depends on our willingness to put aside our differences and unite... or else suffer the horrors of war. Excellent storytelling and character development. Short novella, hoping this author follows up with the next adventure because it's a really great series about justice and hope.
