It’s #BookQW and this ‘time’ Cor needs to get things right. More from Chapter 1: Master Harold held out the envelope. Cor shouldn’t, but…a job Aunt Syl would agree to. He took it and pulled out the card, lighting his own fingers this time. He scanned where and when to report, attire to wear and […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern has ‘heart’ matters besides romance to address. More from Chapter 3: For a moment, Fern just stared, because—geez—one second she’d been alone, and the next here was this big guy. He looked in his late teens, with green eyes and an accent. Scottish, or Irish, she didn’t know, but he wore […]
It’s #BookQW and will Salm’s onery “blue” magic let them sail together? More from Chapter 6: So…they still needed to break the news together. Following Luna, Salm checked his good clothes again, then flicked his fingertips. His energy sparked, taking the edge off his nerves. This caught him broadside. Luna was often quiet when they […]
It’s #BookQW and will a ‘race’ solve Ty’s problems in town? More from Chapter 14: Spike snorted. “Aye, Coral, perhaps you’ll have more luck teaching him to duel than to sail.” Her eyes narrowed at the taunt. “Surely more luck than we’ve had teaching you to keep your mouth shut about…things.” Desperate to stop this […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘simple’ questions are the hardest. More from Chapter 9: “Don’t you have anything better to do?” Ouch. Simple enough question, but it stung since Ty didn’t. These scant minutes of chase and hide were the most excitement he’d had since leaving academy. His mind leaped, his adrenaline rose and his magic pumped, […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern sees the ‘tangle’ threatening the island’s future. More from Book 2 in the Windborne series, Guardian of the Pines: The flying wizards dove to the ground, gusts rising from their huge wings. When the last was down, he shouted, “Clear.” Hands lifted, and a rumble shook the ground. Then the stream […]
It’s #BookQW and will two ‘strong’ personalities sail together? More from Chapter 11: “And I already ken that you telling off your father and leaving home doesn’t change your desires to build a business. You won’t instantly decide to live on a boat because of this.” Was Salm upset they hadn’t gone away? Or about […]
The Unraveling, Volume One of The Luminated Threads has been free for about 2 years now. (I’m terrible at keeping track!) The series sees a lot of readers also picking up the the next two volumes of the story. That’s great! I know how much I love following my favorite characters through their adventures. Sometimes […]
I’m doing first revisions on a draft of a winter story, and our recent snow is very much a mood connection. I spent five hours outdoors helping with our local Winter Bird Count, starting at 20 degrees and ending at 32. My chilly breaths of outside air remind me how winter feels, letting me deepen […]
It’s #BookQW and the plan isn’t ‘clear’ to our heroine. As I read again, I see ‘clear’ is the perfect quote word for this scene because it’s the first time Gran has made their real goals clear to Fern–at the 11th hour! More from Chapter 2: “What?” Fern gasped, her mind blank for a moment […]
