Shadow of Time by Jen Minkman
Expected release date: January 1, 2013
All Hannah needs is a nice and quiet vacation after
her first year of teaching French at a high school. She joins her brother Ben
for the summer in their mom’s log cabin in Arizona. There, she meets Josh
again, Ben’s childhood friend from the Navajo reservation. The little boy from
the rez has grown up fast, and Hannah can’t help but feeling more for him than
just friendship.
But fate apparently has something else in store for
her. And it’s not peace and quiet. Night after night, Hannah is plagued by
strange nightmares about the past of Navajo Nation and terrifying shadows
chasing her. They seem to come closer – and why is Josh always present in her
dreams?
Sometimes, the past has a way of
catching up with you.
Bio:
Jen Minkman (1978) was born in Holland, in the town
of Alphen aan den Rijn. When she was 19, she moved between The Hague, Salzburg
(Austria), Brussels (Belgium) and Cambridge (UK) to complete her studies in
intercultural communication. She is currently a teacher of English, career
counsellor and teenage coach at a secondary school in Voorburg, Holland. She
tries to read at least 100 books a year (and write a few, too!). She is a
published author in her own country, and translates her own books from Dutch
into English for self-publication.
In her spare time, she plays the piano, the guitar and the violin. For every novel she writes, she creates a soundtrack.
I like the sound of this one, but I don't know how I feel about the cover. I think the shape and color of the rocks distract me form the people at the bottom.

Hi Jesse,
DeleteA few other people have told me the same thing, and I am actually going to fix that and put more emphasis on the people at the bottom for the Dutch edition of my book, due out in September 2013. Thanks for giving your honest opinion! :)
