“Part Epic Fantasy, part Murder Mystery, dripping with Jane Austin vibes.”

“C.J. has a gift for creating rich worlds and dynamic characters with a writing style that’s sure to delight readers.”

“A delightful twist on the Cinderella story."“Sometimes, writing simply serves as the delivery method for plot, characters, etc. (like a chip carries dip)... However, this prose style is a chip worth eating on its own.”

“Posing as a combination of fantasy, novel of manners, and detective story, this book examines conceptions of race and class and explores the nature of cognition—all in a really great read. Thoroughly unique and completely engrossing, The First Whisper of Fate needs to be on your to-be-read list!”
