In the quiet town of Riverbend, life unfolds at a gentle pace—until a forgotten darkness begins to stir at the edge of the world. Ribbon Dancer follows the journey of Stevy Ribbon and his sister Emily, a girl unlike any other, whose quiet magic and haunting grace begin to awaken a power that could either save or destroy everything they love. As the dead rise and the light begins to fade, Emily's gift may be the key to restoring balance—but only if those who love her can keep her safe long enough to understand it. A tale of love, loss, courage, and the delicate dance between innocence and destiny, Ribbon Dancer is a sweeping fantasy about the strength of family, the cost of hope, and the power hidden in the quietest hearts.

From the start, Starbuck crafts a world that is both ethereal and grounded—a place where magic and meaning intertwine. The story unfolds with a poetic rhythm, drawing readers deep into the life of the Ribbon Dancer and the awakening journey that challenges her identity, loyalty, and strength. The fantasy elements are rich and original, but it’s the emotional depth and character development that truly make this story shine.
Every character is fully fleshed out, flawed, and fascinating. You don’t just observe their struggles—you live them. Whether it’s through moments of heartbreak, awe, or revelation, you are swept into their reality. By the time you reach the final chapter, you’ll feel like you’ve lost a friend and gained a new understanding of yourself.
Ribbon Dancer Awakening is more than just a fantasy novel—it’s an experience. It’s the kind of book you finish and immediately want to discuss with someone. It lingers in your mind and heart long after the last page.
If you’re looking for a beautifully written, emotionally charged, and utterly gripping read, I highly recommend Ribbon Dancer Awakening. Billy Starbuck has created something truly special, and it’s available now on Amazon. Don’t miss it.
This book is not in my normal genre to read, but from the beginning of Ribbon Dancer until the end I connected with each and every character. The thought and detail of each character, venue and scene makes you feel as if you are there. Not many books wake me up to read “just one more chapter” in the middle of the night, but this one did. Amazing read and cannot wait for the next one!

I hit the #1 best seller spot in three different categories.
I created a YouTube channel and added all of my previous Facebook video posts to the channel. I have also made some changes to the website. I added a review section and also a video section.

This is my first video. It's raw, unedited, and mayhaps a bit cringeworthy. But hey, we all have to start from somewhere.
