It is easy to relate to her. Autumn is your normal person, and has relationship problems, doesn\u2019t always feel recognized for her talents, and at times will work for free to do what she loves. In other words, she deals with the same type of issues as most of us. Her humorous at time but not snarky attitude kept a good pace throughout.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; alt=&#8221;%22I loved your novel, even if you did kill off my favorite character.%22 &#8211; Daniel Cohen&#8221; title_text=&#8221;OneInTheHandPromo&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.rhondaparrish.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/OneInTheHandPromo.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a sword manifests in an old folk\u2019s home it opens Autumn\u2019s eyes to a whole world of magic, gods and giants.
