Memories of Lucinda Eco

by Scott T. Barnes

Overview

"With thrilling worldbuilding, bold writing, and a heroine to root for, Memories of Lucinda Eco has all the elements I'm looking for in a fantasy." ~ Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen series


Somebody cursed Lucinda's Abuelita.

But who? And why?

And why are the authorities and her family too frightened to investigate?

When Lucinda recognizes she is Abuelita's only hope for survival, she and her best friend enlist the help of the most unlikely ally, the son of the local gang boss...

...the gang boss Abuelita killed.

Using bruja witchcraft, Lucinda and her friends open a gateway to relive Abuelita's memories, only to discover terrible secrets and powerful enemies who pose an even greater danger than a single curse.

Can the teens outsmart the villains and find the answers they need before it's too late?

About the Author

Scott T. Barnes won the Writers of the Future Award for his short story “Insect Sculptor.” He has published short stories in venues ranging from Space Opera Mashup to the History and Horror, Oh My! anthology.

Most of Scott’s work is in the speculative realm, from science fiction ("The Last Job") to fantasy (“A Hero’s Wish”) to magic realism (“Charlotte’s Cove”), about as far from his rural roots as imaginable. Or perhaps not so far, as country life provides plenty of opportunities for adventure and wonder.

Western Americana is in Scott's bones and blood and it often finds its way into his stories. Both sides of his family have been farming and ranching in Southern California for several generations. Scott grew up on a farm (specializing in apples, pears, and cut flowers) in the small town of Julian, and later wrangled cows on his family cattle ranches in Northern California and Oregon, where Scott spent many happy days breathing dust and learning the colorful turns of phrase of the cowboys.

Editorial Reviews

Readers will quickly warm to Lucinda's courage and kindness, leavened with a streak of teenage sass. Her bond with Eva, whose fashionista propensities complement Lucinda's down-to-earth style, is heartwarmingly rendered.
