For Immediate Release

(Duvall, WA – November 5, 2012) For Duvall, Washington resident Jae Holt, making the decision to write a book was only the first step. The second step was to create the characters and build the world they would live in. Ms. Holt’s interests in literary classics helped create a fantasy world in which her first novel, Circles, takes place. Meet her at her book signing on Saturday, November 17, in Duvall, where she will discuss the process of writing and publishing a novel from her perspective.

Ms. Holt’s novel weaves elements of the epic poem, Inferno, to create a dark backdrop for her characters’ story. Set in the Pacific Northwest, university student Caisey Rowan carries on with her quiet life, not knowing she carries a secret that makes her a target for demons. One demon in particular makes Caisey’s capture his top priority, because her life may bring back something he lost.
