Author  Visit:    G.A.  Morgan  “Chantarelle”  Book  2  in  the  Five  Stones  Trilogy    G. A. Morgan spent all of her childhood summers on Mount Desert Island where she discovered that many secrets lie deep in the fog. G.A. Morgan, who “excels at world-building,” (School Library Journal), introduced us to Ayda in The Fog of Forgetting.
