Review Quotes

"Marley was the Third World's first pop superstar. He was the man who introduced the world to the mystic power of reggae. He was a true rocker at heart, and as a songwriter, he brought the lyrical force of Bob Dylan, the personal charisma of John Lennon, and the essential vocal stylings of Smokey Robinson into one voice." --Jann Wenner, cofounder and publisher of Rolling Stone

About the Author

In the 3rd grade a teacher once asked Kris Greene what she wanted to be when she grew up, to which she responded 'A witch.' Growing up under not so pleasant conditions she often depended on her imagination to escape her day to day hardships and dreamt of a way to make her fictional escapes real and when she stumbled across a tattered copy of Interview with the Vampire she knew just how she would go about it, which led her to start keeping journals full of short stories which would eventually grow into action packed tales of sex, power and magic set in the New York City underworld.

Kris is the award winning author of several urban-fantasy novels, with the Dark Storm series being her first major releases. Kris resides in New York City where she spends her time writing and working in her herb garden.

Cedella Marley--singer, dancer, fashion designer, actress, and entrepreneur--is the daughter of reggae singers Bob and Rita Marley and the mother of Skip Marley. She was born in 1967 in Kingston Bridge, Jamaica, and served as the vocalist for the Grammy Award-winning Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers until the band disbanded in 2002. She is now the CEO of her father's recording label, Tuff Gong International, and her bohemian-chic clothing collection, Catch A Fire; and the author of several successful children's books. She also oversees her family's charitable and merchandising organizations, always aspiring to spread love and joy and bring hearts together through music and more.
