Author Feature: Amy Bovaird
Amy L. Bovaird is an educator, an author and inspirational speaker—who happens to be vision impaired. When she was 28, doctors diagnosed her with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)-a degenerative eye-disease that eventually causes blindness. Later, she learned her RP was part of Usher’s Syndrome, the leading cause of deaf blindness.
Having taught in Latin America, South East Asia and the Middle East, Amy often features these cultures in her writing.
Although Amy suffers from a dual disability, she continues to enjoy running, hiking and traveling. She also volunteers with local and national 
animal rescue organizations. She dips into humor and optimism as she blogs about the challenges she faces as she loses more vision and hearing. But more importantly, Amy shares the lessons God reveals to her through her difficulties. You can read about her experiences at www.amybovaird.com.

Series Blurb:
The King sends out his children to reclaim the lost islands of the Archipelago of Solumnus. Shrouded from the eyes of the rest of the world over the centuries, the islands have remained hidden except to the few who colonized them—adventurers, seekers, freedom-fighters, prisoners, and those in need of a safe haven.
The isolated peoples of each island have their own history, ancestral culture, and unique deception keeping them bound to their past. From the Roman-based Undae Island caught in the lie that entertainment is the ultimate happiness to the frozen karma-driven island of Dharani to the Egyptian-based Osaze Island encased in physical appearances, each island's people have their own internal and external issues to overcome.
So the King sends his hand-picked princes and princesses to awaken the people of these islands to their generational lies. In the midst of the conflicts and frustrations, these children of the King stir the people's need for and allegiance to the King. The struggle is sweetened by an undeniable love for an island native with whom the prince or princess will rule.
Books available in print and ebook.
