The holidays are a great time to share your favorite series with friends and family. Introduce them through an ebook, paperback or large print edition, and you’ll have lots to talk about over the break! Here are the books in-hand to get a better idea of what they are like. This year, I also put […]
It’s #BookQW and terrible when Cor must ‘crush’ his hopes. More from Chapter 16: Cor and Oyster flapped hard to climb the rocky bluff of the mountain. The air cooled and the wind kicked splatters of rain at them. This wasn’t the gentle, circuitous route Willow had led them over, so it was either faster […]
It’s #BookQW and when Fern is in trouble, it’s Cor’s ‘pleasure’ to help. Again, a #BookQW word that I don’t seem to use much. But this quote in Fern’s point of view in book 2 of my series–Cor’s story!–lets me point out that Fern’s story continues as the friendship between these two develops. More from […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘finds’ creative magic for beekeeping. From Chapter 15: Their bee yard was in a clearing between two terrace walls, four hives made up of two hive bodies each and a fifth with three. Additional hive stands stood empty. “This isn’t enough hives for the size of your orchard,” he remarked. “We […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor gets a ‘lift’ he doesn’t expect. More from Chapter 1: In September—three weeks from now—Cor’s parents would return from their summer’s travel for the Gruen Foundation, and their family would be off again. Autumn in the States. The winter in Costa Rica. Spring somewhere else he’d forgotten after hearing they’d have […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor won’t trust his ‘luck’ to confide in Oy. More from Chapter 22: “Let’s hope I’m long gone by then,” Cor replied. “Or…” What was he saying? “Really?” Oy asked. “You’re working like you want this. All that singing and such.” “Heck, that was more of an automatic thought.” Cor snorted. “I […]
It’s #BookQW and it’s the start of ‘friend’ship for Fern & Cor. More from Chapter 10: “We, uh, this must be a misunderstanding. This is my grandmother’s house, the Meadows, where I…” Hold it, she was in charge of the Meadows. Why was she stammering around when she belonged here? “I was just coming home, […]
It’s #BookQW and time for our heroine to learn “good” news. More from Chapter 1: Gran burst through the door, her pixielike face twisted into a frown. The five songbirds that’d managed to enter with her circled the room and twittered furiously. Fern bent to hug her. “Are we in trouble?” she whispered. “No, but […]
It’s #BookQW and we all want to see that ‘break’ ahead! More from Chapter 4: They’d risen above the trees. The oaks’ tops mounded like green mushrooms floating in mist, a glowing murky line twisting through the undulating haze. Fern swallowed, thoughts of struggling dissolving. Whatever the rip was, it didn’t look safe. Neither, her […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘eat’ing is the last thing on my heroine’s mind! More from Chapter 6: “Can you remove it?” she asked faintly. “Dispelling is nae something to hurry.” Beri shrugged one shoulder. “She has to get it all, you ken?” “You weren’t in it long,” Willow said. “I’ll know after I remove the first […]
