iAi founding member Elise Stokes has published Cassidy Jones and the Eternal Flame, the fifth book in the Cassidy Jones Adventures.<\/P>\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n

\"I\u2019m thrilled to announce the release of Cassidy Jones and the Eternal Flame<\/em>,\" says Elise.<\/P>\r\n\r\n

The first Cassidy Jones adventure,\u00a0Cassidy Jones & the Secret Formula,<\/em> published in 2011 and quickly gained not only critical acclaim but a large audience of middle-grade and young adult readers. Stokes followed that with Cassidy Jones & Vulcan's Gift<\/em> at the end of the same year, Cassidy Jones & the Seventh Attendant in 2013 and Cassidy Jones & The Luminous<\/em> in 2014.<\/P>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"This was a two-year writing venture, one in which I felt would never come to completion at times. However, when I consider the many new developments in this installment, the extra year that it took to write makes sense. Along with inventing unusual ways to further complicate Cassidy\u2019s life, I go deeper with the main characters, showing new facets of their personalities and revealing much about who they are in the face of extraordinary challenges. They are growing with the story, essentially. When I started writing this series eight years ago, I would have never guessed where it would be today, and I look forward to seeing where it takes Cassidy and me.\"<\/P>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nAlong with the new book, Stokes has given the whole Cassidy Jones Adventures series a new graphical treatment with new covers for all five books in the series by\u00a0. \"Twin Art Design came up with a modern, sleek look for the series. Paul, whom I highly recommend, created the perfect visual representation of what a reader can expect from my superhero. His exceptional book cover designs scream adventure, danger, and mystery. I couldn\u2019t be more pleased.\"<\/P>\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/P>\r\n\r\n

If you haven\u2019t given Cassidy Jones a try and would like to, the series is available on , and can be read for free on Kindle Unlimited.

\r\nSays the author: \"I hope you\u2019ll join me on Cassidy\u2019s journey!\"<\/P>\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe diabolical\u00a0Metal Woman<\/em> takes three people hostage. Her ransom demand: the location of a mysterious and unprecedented weapon, rumored to have been a gift to the Third Reich from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.<\/span>

\r\n\r\nWhen a rescue attempt goes sideways, Cassidy Jones seeks justice. Her quest leads her to the Seattle Underground, where she falls into the grip of an inexplicable evil. Cassidy learns too late that her desire for revenge may cost the life of someone she loves.<\/span>

\r\n\r\n\"I absolutely LOVED reading\u00a0Eternal Flame<\/em>...heart-pounding action, tugging at the heartstrings\u2014 this book has a LOT of heart. The whole series continues to grow in complexity and the stakes are raised ever higher. It's a great adventure and a worthwhile read.\"\u00a0\u2014Karie, The Dragon\u2019s Nook<\/span>

\r\n\r\n\"Stokes gives us another edge of your seat adventure with one of the most amazing super-heroines I've ever read about.\"\u00a0\u00a0\u2014 Erik, This Kid Reviews Books<\/span>

\r\n\r\n\u201cThe twists and turns Stokes takes us on to find the flame left me gasping, crying, and laughing.\u201d \u2014Lindsey Gray, author and host of TMV Caf\u00e9 Radio\u2019s Gray Matters<\/span><\/blockquote>
