CRESTVIEW — With the recent release of "Gift of Sight," Erin Manbeck is on the way to releasing a trilogy.
The ebook tells the story of Regan, a college student dating a boy named Sam, who wants to manipulate Regan's power so he can rule the world of magic she never knew existed.
Last week, Manbeck sent the second volume in the "Gifted Trilogy," "Gift of Power," to her editor, and hopes to have the third, as yet untitled, book completed this summer.
The former Florida National Guardsman said she was struck with the desire to write in January while working in Army command and staff administrative support at Eglin Air Force Base.
"I always thought writers were the people who worked from home, had plenty of free time to gather their story lines, publishing houses banging on their doors, and all were in possession of a literary degree from some prestigious college," Manbeck wrote in her blog. "I apparently over-analyzed the whole thing."
"Gift of Sight" is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, Apple, Kobo, Sony, Smashwords, Diesel, Flipkart, Library Direct, Oyster, Page Foundry, Axis360 and Scribd.
