Audrey said she’d never return to Alaska.
And yet here she is.
Audrey’s in Sitka for the Fine Arts Camp- hoping that the camp will prepare her young daughter for their move back to Alaska after the untimely death of her father.

But Audrey knows you can’t step out from this tight-knit community and expect a warm return.
And when six children go missing- Audrey’s daughter one of them- it’s not only the children the community want to find…

My name is LB Blackburne.
I’ve written by entire life- poetry contests and newspaper opinions until an English degree and a career in video game journalism.
And then an accident. One that broke all my ribs, my skull, all my molars…that left me unable to think, work, walk or even read.
A brain injury. A serious one.
I was told by doctors that those days- my days of living normally- were behind me. That I needed to prepare for a life of pain and disability.
I refused to accept that this would be the story of my life.
It took me a year to be able to read a sentence, and nearly eighteen months to walk straight. Two and a half years and I could use a computer. Eleven months to write my first book…and two to write my second.
I am now back to myself. A working, writing, homeschooling mother in Alaska-
Making my way to an agent, to my first published book, and then a career in writing.
Contact me.
I am currently seeking representation.
