READER'S CHOICE INTERNATIONAL GOLD MEDAL WINNER YOUNG ADULT
ADVENTURE
FOR FANS OF HUNGER GAMES, DIVERGENT AND MAZE RUNNER
COMES A NEW ADVENTURE!
A
new twist on modern warfare. 17-year-old Willow Danner holds on tight
the one thing the Dominion Government can’t control: her
imagination and hope for freedom. She replays the stories her parents
have told her when America was free and your life was your own. Her
mother and father have been planning on escaping to their hidden
faction and are ready to implement the strategy.
Willow shoves
down her fear of being caught by the Dominion constables. Trackers
are in every person’s jaw, and any display of deviance from the
government’s ruling means instant death. Her dreams of living a
life of her choosing are stronger than the risk of getting
caught.
Once in the free zone, will she be accepted by her new
faction, The Crows, or will she find she is still a slave under a
different regime?
This
is not a game for the weak of spirit, and blood is the currency.
"The
comparisons of Willow to Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games fame are
clearly evident as Willow's talent as a fighter and her determination
to win come to the surface. Without training of any kind, she
displays great skill in the use of a variety of weapons as well as
her bare hands. But, Willow possesses more than these physical
abilities and as the story unfolds, her supernatural gifts become
more evident and specific to the plotlines. Also like Collins, R.A.
Lingenfelter writes tight, straight-to-the-point sentences and
paragraphs that propel the reader through each event and scene
without undue and unnecessary detail.
In particular,
Lingenfelter's ability to build characters simultaneously to the
ever-increasing tension of the primary plotline is evidenced by her
multiple appearances at the top of Amazon's bestseller lists. End of
Crows, while standing on its own, is also the perfect lead novel in
the four-book series. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy
fast-paced action/adventure stories with hints of the supernatural
and powerful lead characters like Willow!" ~Reader's

"It’s
an excellent comparison to make between the willfulness of teenage
rebellion and the passionate but desperate nature of a freedom
fighter’s rebellion, and R.A. Lingenfelter doesn’t waste an ounce
of the concept's potential in this exciting and tense story of
acceptance and the will to fight back. I adored the world-building on
show on every page with the Dominion being a constant source of
low-level anxiety between run-ins in exactly the way that living
under a regime of that nature would be. I particularly enjoyed how
for much of the story they were able to be a threat despite not being
physically present, such was the terror invoked by the idea of the
Dominion that even discussion of them became intimidating. End of
Crows is an outstanding work of dystopian fiction that captures both
the oppressive nature of living under a hostile regime as well as the
spark of resistance that lies in people no matter how much they fear
for their lives." ~Reader's

End of Crows Book 5
Having been an automotive mechanic for 25+ years, R.A. Lingenfelter never dreamed she would be an International Gold Medal award winning author, or an IMDb certified award-winning director and producer for multiple international film festivals.
Having an incredible networking and support system, R.A. acknowledges that it takes many hands and talents to support and grow her writing and film careers. Her writing has won accolades and has been compared to Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, and Veronica Roth's Divergent, but she definitely wants her writing voice to be as unique as her personality.
R.A.'s gratitude for her father grows each year, even after his death, as he was the one who read her notes on ways to kill off her boss via vehicular homicide after he fired her for taking maternity leave. Instead of spending time behind bars, R.A. happily spends her time behind the laptop plotting new worlds and new ways of vengeance.
Her book series, End of Crows, was scheduled to premiere at the 2020 Denver Comicon but unfortunately, Covid changed that. The series has won the highly coveted Gold Medal Reader's Favorite Award for Young Adult Adventure in 2022. She's had four of her novels hit #1 on Amazon and hopes to earn more credentials with her writing.
She lives in Colorado with her city-boy husband with six and a quarter horses, (Mr. Moonlight only counts as 25% horse) her four dogs and two incredible and also sarcastic daughters.
