J.K. Raymond

J.K. Raymond received her Bachelor of Arts in 1995 from Fontbonne University where she fell in love with everything in St. Louis-and under it.

J.K. also has the most amazing safety net in her tiny world, which

selflessly helps her to continually heal. Her husband of twenty years,

Matt Houser, her two sons, Aidan and Jace, her mother, JoAnn, and her

grumble of pugs, Lollie, RueRue, and TukTuk.

Infinite Mass

Morna JoAnn Stahr had become the town pariah at age ten. Beyond her control or planning, she managed to pull a religious miracle from the bowels of holy stardom, and try as she may, absolution had never come. Sure, some things can be forgotten or outlived, but not this kind of thing, especially if you’re a girl. Just ask Mary of Magdalene.

So while every Priest, parishioner, and parent, including her own, held a candlelight vigil for her safe return, Morna had been busy doing what seventeen-year-old lepers do best. Gathering up what was left of the best pieces of herself and got the hell outta dodge with not a soul the wiser. No soul’s but Silla’s that is, who by all accounts would forever be included among the very best parts of her.

Now, one accomplice, a fake i.d. and many miles later, Morna was slinging drinks at a local blues bar for tips. New me, who dis, right? WRONG. Because just beneath Morna’s newfound feet was a rag-tag horde of mythical beasties and one giant Judas furball of epic Galilean proportions. And while they enjoyed it, they were not here for the music.
