The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear

by M. Pax

Overview

The journey into adulthood is stranger than she expects.

Graduating from community college, Hetty Locklear hopes for a new life. Her diploma doesn't change anything. She delves deeper into her nerd-girl fantasy where she's the savior of a dying ancient galactic race. When she's not role playing in the game world she created, she's still stuck working at the convenience store and doused in coffee stains. Her parents didn't bother to come home but manage to send her an invitation to join them on the Renaissance Faire circuit for the summer. Her first reaction is to say no, until a ghost starts stalking her and a séance claims she's in danger.

About the Author

M. Pax is author of the sci-fi series, The Backworlds, and the new adult contemporary fantasy The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear. A Browncoat and SG fan, she’s also slightly obsessed with Jane Austen. In the summers she docents as a star guide at Pine Mountain Observatory where the other astronomers now believe she has the most extensive collection of moon photos in existence. No fear, there will be more next summer. She lives in stunning Central Oregon with the Husband Unit and two lovely, spoiled cats.

Editorial Reviews

I read this in two nights (in roughly 3 hours altogether!) and I liked every minute of it. Hetty is a character I think a lot of women can relate to. She does not see herself as beautiful at all, is a bit on the pudgy side, and a bit nerdy. Yet she has wonderful friends who see her as what she is - a beautiful, loyal friend.

Wow. From the blurb this was not entirely what I was expecting but it was amazing all the same. Hetty is a wonderful character. I love that she's this overweight, self conscious homebody that dabbles heavily in gaming. She is so different from a lot of young adult story leads and I loved her. I think the title is perfect as well. I like that renaissance alludes to her parents but is really about Hetty becoming an adult and coming into her own.
