STORM OF CRIMSON is approximately 225 pages long; it is the first book in an intended paranormal young adult series. The reading comprehension level is about grade nine. Written for my grandchildren, ages 11-18, "Storm of Crimson" contains no inappropriate language, profanity, or sexual situations; I use my maiden name of Jo Lewis for books written for youth, and my regular name (Jo Robertson) for my mature audiences. Sydney Banks' senior year is going well. A star female athlete, she's on track for a soccer or basketball scholarship until new student Paynton Merrick, III, enters Granite Hills High School, and her world is turned upside down by what they discover during winter break. Along with her childhood friend Jinx, Sydney and Merrick uncover an old and disturbing legend - and something dark and evil hiding beneath their high school. Can they join forces to defeat the coming Calamity? Or is it already too late?
