David J. Hoch 
Between Stone and Light 

As Sarina got out of bed, the notebook on her nightstand was open to a page with an unusual symbol drawn on it-a symbol Sarina hadn’t drawn. How did it get there-and what does it mean? Thus begins a non-stop, heart-pounding race to unlock the 13th sign of the Zodiac. This small town girl from Minnesota leads an international group of 13 telepathically- connected thirteen year-olds – who were all born on the same day at exactly the same time. They are the Glimmers. Between Stone and Light, David Hoch’s debut novel, skillfully weaves the ordinary lives of these teens into a complex web of mystical stone Zodiac wheels, fantastical lights, incredible music and vibrations – all which grow more intense each time a Glimmer is added to the circle of friends. What will happen to the wheels, and what of the Evil Ones? What will one find in the basement of Desdemona’s bookstore? The very fate of mankind rests on the Glimmers’ success. They must hurry – time is running out!….
