Hunter Drake, Elf sorcerer, and Josephine, Cherokee maiden, should never have met, but when Josephine opens the portal her family has guarded for centuries, their worlds collide-literally. All of a sudden, Josephine is caught up in a war that has overtaken Drake's world...and now it threatens hers. Fairy tales, time portals and Cherokee mythology entwine in this tale of love, adventure, war and duty that spans two worlds."Strange Path" is a prequel to Michelle Garren Flye's acclaimed Synchronicity Series. Michelle Garren Flye is an award-winning romance author. Sort of. She consistently scores in the top fourth of the Romance Writer's Association's RITA competition. She might win more contests if she entered them because reviewers have described her work as: "an engaging novel with charming and likable characters", a story that "will make you believe in love and second chances", and a "well-written and thought-provoking novel" (that's her favorite).Anyway, Michelle placed third in the Hyperink Romance Writing Contest for her short story "Life After", so now she can call herself an award-winning author. Her short stories have been published in print and online. Google her name. You'll find her. Also, she has proudly served on the editorial staffs of Horror Library Butcher Shop Quartet and Tattered Souls.For what it's worth, Michelle has a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She lives and writes in New Bern, North Carolina, where she often feels she is a miniscule blue dot in a red sea, but she doesn't really care because she's close to the blue sea and that's the one that really matters. Nestled in the mountains of North Carolina, on land once belonging to the Cherokee, the lands of Sanctuary and Nunnehi are now inhabited by people from another world. Kaelyn, Queen of the Meti, and Jack, prince of the Elves, must embark on a quest to restore peace to their people and time itself to its proper balance. But can they persevere over dark forces and a battle against Jack's own father?
