Christy Raedeke

Christy Raedeke is a writer and travel addict. She has trekked in the Himalayas, spent Halloween in a 16th century Scottish castle, dived into bottomless cenotes in the Yucatan jungle, studied feng shui in Kuala Lumpur, been dropped by floatplane into the wilds of British Columbia, stood atop the Jungfrau in Switzerland, floated down the River Ganges, explored Zeus's cave on Crete, climbed Mayan pyramids in Chiapas, explored the catacombs under Paris and Rome, melted her shoes on the lava fields of the Mauna Loa volcano, and body surfed in the Libyan sea.

Raedeke is the recipient of the Holmes Fellowship for Young Reader's Literature awarded by Oregon Literary Arts.

"Embellished with iridescent details such as secret codes and symbols, a pet monkey named Mr. Papers (academically appropriate), a feng shui master, and a gorgeous next -door boyfriend, "Prophecy of Days" can't miss gathering the totality of its audience's attention. The unraveling of its prophecy and mystery is bound to continue through the next volumes of the series and perhaps its timely conclusion will occur on or about the appointed date on the world calendar. A perfect global mystery with timely implications completely fills the bill for the slogan of Flux (publisher), "where young adult is a point of view, not a reading level." - The Midwest Book Review

"A delightful heroine, she’s funny, frank, and mostly true to the way a real teen would act if she found herself in such an odd circumstance. Readers will want to follow Caity’s adventure." — Ilene Cooper, Booklist

"This conspiracy tale has all the trimmings of a Dan Brown thriller, encompassing Mayan 2012 theories, feng shui, mystic runes, a secret society, and even a monkey that communicates through origami." - Publishers Weekly
