Carter Lee McKenzie lives on the side of a volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She basks in tropical breezes and grows wonderful fruits and nuts in her garden. When she is not hard at work on her computer or in her garden, Carter strolls the warm sandy beaches of her personal volcanic island.

"Pele's Fire" is the first in a series, with "Shadowy River" the second. A third is in the works. Some characters will appear in several books, but the books may be read independently and in no particular order. If you are interested in reading them sequentially, however, you can see the list on Carter's blog http://carterleemckenzie.blogspot.com/.
