Voices of the Future Vol. 1: Stories of Family and Fearlessness

Featuring "People of the Rain" by Jenny (Chasteen) Gossell

What if you could make it rain?
 
To save her home and family, a young woman must accompany one of the People of the Rain to a Sky Hall and appeal for an end to the drought in her land–but forcing the clouds to move may bring a bigger storm than she bargained for.
 

If you’re looking for Young Adult fantasy adventures where good defeats evil at great cost and against all odds…

Welcome to the journey.

You can call me Jandalf the Green.

About

Jenny Gossell

Jenny Gossell constantly finds herself on real life adventures, whether that looks like traveling around the world or walking the long road of Type 1 Diabetes. She writes teen fantasy adventure stories where you come for the worldbuilding, stay for the characters, and leave encouraged to live as a part of a bigger story.

Jenny is a graduate of The Author Conservatory and a Teacher’s Assistant with the Young Writer’s Workshop Academic Track. In addition to “People of the Rain,” she is the author of the poem “The Party Tree” and the flash fiction story “Higherlight.” 

Though Jenny never really stops thinking about books, she does do other things with her life, such as coaching a Bible Quizzing team, hanging out with her nieces and nephews, watching hours upon hours of classic movies’ special features, and baking desserts for her husband.
