Meet Ohio Author Karisa Delay, Thurs., Aug. 8th, 6 - 7:30 pm

Ohio author, Karisa Delay, will be at the Waverly Library on Thursday, August 8th, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. Her new book is called "The Crystal Gate." 

About the Book

A novel of intrigue and paranormal discovery, as good and evil wait for the balance to shift.

Alexis Zen, a brilliant physicist with a troubled past, wants only to recreate ancient tech to understand our past, but is instead tasked with building top-secret devices for the U.S. military. When a loved one is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Alexis is plunged into an enigmatic world where dimensions collide and supernatural beings fight shadowy battles for supremacy. Unknown to Alexis, she holds the key that will unlock the mysteries of the universe. As she gets closer to a man who's more than he appears to be, the fate of the world--and her own sanity--hang in the balance.

About the Author

Author, Karisa Delay, has always been fascinated with how the perception of God, evolution, and science twist reality, and has wrote Crystal Gate with this theme. She and her husband, Dillion, have four daughters and live in Ohio.
