It’s #BookQW and Fern learns about ‘everyone’! More from Chapter 5: Beri drew in a breath. “The Isle of Giuthas is a Windborne enclave, hidden from the outside world to protect the trees, but”—he frowned at her—“also us. Winged wizards, the People of the Wind.” Fern stared. Would Gran have told her these things if […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern’s ‘view’ is surprising! More from Chapter 2: Fern sat up fast. The slime yanked on her leg, nearly jerking her free from the tree. She clutched its rough bark. No one was in sight, but she heard erratic breathing between the kite’s weoo calls. Leaves rustled from two different directions as […]
It’s #BookQW and saving Fern’s magical family ‘land’ will be tricky! More From Chapter 2: Gran patted her cheek. “Good, lass. I’m glad you’re flexible, because I have some news: I have other inspections to attend to, not to mention they are sticklers about favoritism so don’t want me present on my land for the […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern hides the ‘last’ thing Mom suspects. More from Chapter 1: Three more days and the secret—and dreaded lying—would end. Fern drew a breath. “I love you, Mom.” “You’re growing up so much, my meadowsweet, I wish…” Mom gave a watery smile and traced a design with her index finger on Fern’s […]
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 ‘bliss’ is not our heroine’s feels. More from Chapter 8: Instead of dirt, a patch of water shimmered in the sunlight, fed by a silvery stream diverted from the nearby creek. “Your pond seems to be there,” Beri said with a sigh. “H-how?” But now Beri’s muddy clothing made sense. Did this […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘pound’ is too appropriate for today + a trigger for our heroine. More from Chapter 4: Squinting against the wind, Fern peered at the first guy, who was still panting, and then Raven, who scowled back at her. He was anything but an angel. She had to be reasonable, to sound reasonable. […]
It’s #BookQW and magic weighs ‘heavy’ on our heroine. More from Chapter 3: Fern flinched, expecting him to smack into her, to pin her to the ground. But she continued to slip while he—is this really happening?—hung suspended, half over her, wings sweeping up and down, feathers whacking her, the bush, the ground, sending sticks […]
It’s #BookQW and our heroine ‘needs’ a break! More from Chpater 1: Fern had most summer days to herself, which made arranging chores and babysitting jobs around her secret trips easier. Today was not one of those days. Inside their SUV parked in the driveway, she scooted the box labeled wrens w/ bugs and […]
It’s #BookQW and a teen wizard proves he’s ‘eager’ to lead. More from Chapter 19: Fern had almost dozed off in her corner when a low comment from Mr. Grouse pulled her back. “Incredible change has come over that lad.” “Aye, I couldna agree more,” said Sir Snap. “He’s been on three of my projects, […]
