A Finalist for the Eric Hoffer Award.
Rowan Campbell has spent years perfecting the art of disappearing. Living a nomadic life, using pseudonyms for her work as a photojournalist, and keeping romantic relationships short-lived. Whatever it takes to stay ahead of the powerful man who's been stalking her for years. He lusts after her, but he also wants to control the inherited magic running through her blood. Her matrilineal magic is powerful, but she's untrained and lacks the courage to learn how to wield her powers to protect herself.
Hiding during the pandemic was easy, but as masks are put aside, she returns to the difficulties she’s faced for years. When Rowan's stalker tracks her to a freelance job she loves and attempts to use his money and influence on her employer to get to her, she’s had enough. She decides to head home to Pittsburgh from the U.K., where she’s been riding out the pandemic. Waiting for her there is her brother Griff, a white-hat hacker who doesn’t believe in magic but is ready to use his skills to help his sister fight her stalker. A two-hour ride north will take Rowan to her aunt, the only person alive who can train her to control and use her magical inheritance. She’s had limited, sporadic contact with her late mother’s sister in the years since her mother died when Rowan was only thirteen years old. But first she must travel to Wales to charge her magic at the ancient druid stones her mother once visited. When Rowan meets the goddess Ceridwen and the ghosts of her mother and her ancestors there, she is frightened but sure her power is greater than she imagined and that, once trained, she can take on any predator.
Wired For Magic is perfect for fans of The Night Raven, A Discovery of Witches, A Darker Shade of Magic, or Rivers of London, where magic runs through bloodlines and heroines are willing to risk everything in a life and death battle, believing their magic will prevail. To quote Rowan: “Passing self-worth, knowledge, strength, and love from a mother to a daughter has its own special, eternal magic.”
Wired For Magic is Janet Roberts' first urban fantasy thriller, blending magical realism, inherited family magic, and an exciting cybersecurity/hacker subplot in a contemporary setting to give the reader one fast, intense read.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Edici n revisada y ampliada del gran libro sobre el amor, el desamor y la creaci n art stica de Laura Ferrero y Marc Pallar s «Un cat logo razonado de amores dif ciles . -El Peri dico «Dos adeptos a los finales que son principios se han unido para honrar las heridas ajenas que tantas alegr as y tristezas nos han dado. Y esa es una de las formas del amor . -Virginia Mendoza «Quiz s, aunque esto es solo una suposici n, la nica respuesta v lida frente al desamor la ofrece el camino del arte . El desamor causa sufrimiento, desubicaci n, incluso ira. Y esto nos ocurre a todos, pero hay una serie de personas, todas ellas artistas (escritores, pintores, escultores, actores, m sicos) que encontraron en el dolor que provoca una ruptura la mecha que encendi su creatividad. En esta edici n revisada y ampliada de El amor despu s del amor, la literatura de Laura Ferrero conversa con las ilustraciones de Marc Pallar s en el retrato de esos personajes privilegiados que supieron convertir la tristeza en genio creador. Desde Sylvia Plath y Ted Hughes, Camille Claudel y Auguste Rodin, o Idea Vilari o y Juan Carlos Onetti, hasta Taylor Swift y Jake Gyllenhaal, Madonna y Jean-Michel Basquiat, o Amy Winehouse y Blake Fielder-Civil, en todas las historias reales de este libro el arte aparece como elemento clave a la hora de superar la disoluci n del amor y poder seguir adelante. Como dice Laura Ferrero en el ep logo: «A menudo, como es l gico, agradecemos la existencia de esas personas a las que agrupamos bajo el grandilocuente t tulo de el amor de mi vida. Desde aqu un peque o gui o a esas otras, a las que aguardan bajo un paraguas menos lucido, el del desamor de mi vida. Sin ellas, la historia del arte ser a corta. Cort sima. Y, adem s, mucho menos divertida . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Revised and extended edition of a great book about love, heartbreak, and Laura Ferrero and Marc Pallar­ s' artistic creation. Perhaps, though this is mere supposition, the only valid response to heartbreak is what the path of art offers. Heartbreak causes suffering, disorientation, even anger. And this happens to all of us, but there is a series of people, all of them artists (writers, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians), who realized that pain after a breakup became the spark that ignited their creativity. In this revised and extended edition of Love After Love, Laura Ferrero's literature converses with Marc Pallar s' illustrations in the portrait of these privileged characters who knew how to turn sadness into creative genius. From Sylvia Plath and Ted Hugues, Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, or Idea Vilari o and Juan Carlos Onetti, to Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal, Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Amy Winehouse, and Blake Fielder-Civil, in every true story in this book, art appears as key element when it comes to overcoming a breakup and moving on. As Laura Ferrero says in the epilogue: Often enough, unsurprisingly, we thank the existence of these people we group under the grandiose title of 'the love of my life.' From here, a small nod to the others, those who wait under a less sported umbrella, 'the heartbreak of my life.' Without them, art history would be short. Too short. And also, much less fun.
