Remiel, author of paranormal
romance, lives in Gilbert and teaches language arts to middle school students. Her latest novel, “Relic,” is a best-selling Kindle gothic romance. Another Chandler paranormal
romance author, Scott will feature her book “Irish Moon,” which one reviewer says is “brimming with magick and mystery.” She works helping other authors at
