Sharon Ross is forced to travel outside the bounds of known space and time to rescue her foster child, a little girl with no name. Aided by her renegade "slacker" brother and a surprisingly attractive priest (who is beginning to re-think his vow of celibacy), she will go to places as far away as heaven and hell, and as close as her own imagination.

Plot:
A young woman named Sharon finds a strange little girl on her doorstep, and takes her in. The stubbornly nameless child is one of the fairyfolk, and is being hunted by dark powers, both fairy and mortal. When the child is kidnapped, she must go to the fairy world and rescue her with the help of her brother, a sexy Catholic priest, and a magical granny with mad embroidering skillz.
Review:
It would be difficult to recommend this book highly enough. Writing, characters, plot, and dialogue are all top-notch, better than most traditionally published fiction. The story kept me hooked from beginning to end.
The book is full of adventure, with a good love story, and enough theological musings to keep your brain occupied without ever slowing down the main story. Napier's Underhill (the fairy world) is a strange place with a logic of its own, a place where everything is beautiful and anything can be deadly. The fairy kingdom is populated with beautiful, dangerous spirits who use magic and wiles to lure unsuspecting mortals to... well, everyone has their own deadly and/or sexy agendas.
It was with a heavy heart that I discovered that this is Dawn Napier's only published work. Write faster, you! Also, use more bigger words. Be obfuscatory, dammit! (Sorry. Inside joke.)
caveats: The book deserves much better cover art. A few stick-in-the-muds... er, I mean gentle souls... might find some parts blasphemous or disrespectful towards Catholicism. Jesus is pro-gay marriage, and he swears.

Nameless was a very good story. There were quite a few typos/mispellings. The story moved smoothly and was well written with exception. Characters were nicely developed. I was engrossed and lost track of time when reading. I enjoyed the book.

I just read Nameless over the past few nights and really enjoyed it. I lost sleep because I couldn't put it down, which really sucks when you have young children who like to disrupt sleep anyway, but the story was worth it. The theological underpinnings were fascinating to read; I suppose some might be offended but I thought the different slant on Christianity was interesting. There is a possible plot hole regarding the ability to use magic in the mental facility, but I'm not entirely sure since I have a tendency to read really fast and miss details sometimes, so don't let that stop you. That's ok; it gives me an excuse to read it again (not that I really need one). Sharon Ross was an especially fun character to read because she seemed very real, or maybe just because I could relate to her...and who can resist a sexy priest who's a bit of a rebel?
All in all, Nameless is a great read, well worth your time and money.

More About the Author
I'm a thirty-something married mother of three. I've been writing stories for most of my life, and in the past year I've been using the Internet to try and brand myself. I've had short stories published by Schlock! Horror, The Absent Willow Review, and Dark River Press. I also have a fiction blog on Convozine entitled Mom's Secret Horrors. My genres of choice are horror and fantasy, but I also dabble in science fiction and slice-of-life.
"Nameless" is my first self-published book. It sneaked up on me one afternoon when I was trying to get a little girl to take a nap. I decided to pass the time with a little writing exercise; I would simply describe the child and my surroundings. A couple of pages later, I realized that I had never named the child. I wondered, "Could I write an entire story without ever giving the main character a name?"
I have a deep and abiding interest in religion and mythology, and these two theme appear over and over again in my fantasy. My horror tends to be about things ending, people dying, and the world changing for the darker. I like to say that my horror describes the world as I see it, and my fantasy describes the world as I would like it to be.
