"Jerel Law
transports readers to a place where supernatural forces of good and evil
collide. Young readers will be entertained and inspired . . . I heartily
recommend it." -Robert Whitlow, bestselling author of the Tides of Truth
series
What if you could actually see angels and fallen angels engaging in battle-and
you were expected to join the fight?
It's been one year since Jonah Stone and his sister, Eliza, discovered that
their mother is a nephilim, the product of a union between a human and a fallen
angel, which makes them and their little brother, Jeremiah,
"quarterlings," or one-quarter angel. After embarking on an epic
journey to rescue their mother and the other nephilim, who were kidnapped by
fallen angels, the Stone kids have enjoyed a little peace and quiet.
But when Jonah and Eliza are attacked by fallen angels at school, they learn
that quarterlings all over the world are being targeted, and separating them
from their parents is the only way to keep them safe. The kids undergo special
training to help them discover their own unique angelic gifts, which come in
handy when they embark on a mission to find a mysterious prophet who they
believe holds the key to Abaddon's defeat in a massive battle between good and
evil.
Parents today are looking for fiction that makes Christianity and the Bible
exciting for their kids. This series is the first Christian answer to Percy
Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Secret Series, and other
middle grade series packed with adventure, action, and supernatural fights. But
the message is solidly scriptural in that God alone is always in control.
"Jerel Law has crafted a fantastic story that will leave every reader
wanting more. Stop looking for the next great read in fantasy fiction for young
readers-you've found it " -Robert Liparulo, bestselling author of
Dreamhouse Kings and "The 13th Tribe"

Percy Jackson, move over! Jonah Stone is here!
What if Nephilim-the children of angels and men-still walked the earth? And

that they have special powers as quarter-angels. When their mom is kidnapped by

Q & A With Author Jerel Law
Q: How do you write? What’s a normal writing day like for you?I’m a pastor as well as a writer, so I have to balance both roles. When I’m writing, especially a first draft, I have to have specific word goals, or I will never get anything done. I don’t trust that the “muse” will show up whenever she wants, and that I should just wait for her. That’s futility. I actually believe she only shows up after I’ve started writing. I also believe in the power of writing a bad first draft. So in other words, I place a high value on discipline, trusting that the creativity will come. It’s futile for me to do the opposite – placing the value on creativity, hoping discipline will some how appear on its own. (Does discipline ever do that?)
So, typically I’ll write five days a week, shooting for 1500 words a day. Certain weeks this pushes to 2000 a day. This will usually take 2-3 hours, depending on how much I’m feeling it, and how distraction-free I can be.
Incidentally, I also vary my writing location based on how I’m feeling. If I’m confident in my ability to focus, I’ll write at the “office” (iow Panera Bread). If I find myself getting distracted, I’ll stay home. If I’m desperate, I banish myself to a dusty corner in the basement of the public library.
Q: What was your favorite book as a teen?I read “This Present Darkness” by Frank Peretti as a teenager, and it blew my mind. Someone had taken the mysterious stories in the Scriptures about demons and angels, and put flesh and blood on those bones. For the first time I remember thinking about the spiritual world, considering that there might be more going on there than I realized. The pictures Peretti drew in that book both haunted and challenged me. In some ways he inspired my writing the Son of Angels series.
