Having found her footing at an early age as a competitive figure skater, the ever-ambitious Kieryn Nicolas is adding to her resume of successes with the premier of her debut novel, RAIN . As one of the youngest authors to find publication with Quake, the Juvenile and Young Adult division of Echelon Press LLC, Kieryn is eager share her adventures with readers of her Young Adult Spy Adventure and anyone else who will listen.

Echelon Press is taking advantage of the long overdue surge in eBook popularity and released RAIN in electronic format in January, 2010. RAIN is easy to access for e-readers (Kindle, Nook, Sony) and in PDF format for PC and IPod/IPod Touch. RAIN is available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Fictionwise, OmniLit and our own website (echelonpress.com). The print version will follow in summer 2010. The 100,000+ word novel is geared toward middle school aged readers, but is already finding a place in the heart of readers of all ages.

President and CEO of Echelon Press states that Kieryn Nicolas is "a glimmer of hope for the future of books….This is a young girl who has been writing for as long as she can remember. She loves it, she embraces it, and she's damn good at it! It is unusual to find a talent like Kieryn's in someone so young. To have the drive and focus to write a novel at age 13 is beyond unique. Echelon Press is very proud to be working with Kieryn and is looking forward to sharing RAIN with everyone.

Award winning author, Daryl Gregory, has this to say: "RAIN is an exciting ride. There are break-ins and abductions, narrow escapes and hand-to-hand combat, as well as baffling mysteries to solve. But the book also delves into the trials of adolescence: going to a new school, making new friends, and keeping old ones. Amber, AKA Mel, spy-girl extraordinaire, is something special, and so is Kieryn Nicolas, the young author of this book."

And Pat Griffith, Head of Adult Services at Schlow Centre Region Library states: "This was an exciting adventure into the land of teen espionage…wonderful friendships and relationships throughout…. I especially enjoyed the weather connection and the twist at the end."

Kieryn, a high school freshman enjoys school, reading, spending time with her friends, and of course writing. She is looking forward to the opportunities RAIN will provide for her to talk to and inspire other young people to pursue their passions.

Kieryn is available for all forms of media interviews and to speak to your school and/or organization about her exciting journey to becoming a published author.
