It’s #BookQW and Fern is drowning in ‘details’ to help Cor’s dream! More from Chapter 10: A sound like the wind blowing through power lines surrounded them. But Giuthas had no power lines. Seconds later, a small figure shimmered into view. “This is the closest I can come to meeting your request, Mistress Fern. During […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor loves to ‘grow’ trees! More from Chapter 1: Master Harold preferred the botanical rather than the magical side of plant growth, ironically, since the Gruen Foundation focused on increasing tree energy. Instead, Cor dug a handful of beechnuts from his pocket that he’d scavenged from the leaf litter. “More to start […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor has no idea this conversation will get him ‘ahead’! More from Chapter 4: The other girl, however, gestured him ahead of her. “Don’t you want to get your question in?” he asked her. “Oh, no. Please go ahead.” Her name tag read Fern, Heir to the Witch of the Meadows, the […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor has to make ‘extra’ effort to fit in. More from chapter 10: She tilted her head toward Fern. “Sort of, well…” Fern mumbled, turning red. “Yeah. I mean, yes.” Lady Pina faced off with Fee, though not as aggressively as Fern’s mum had. “This is my fault for not having watched […]
It’s #BookQW and when Cor tries to ‘hide’ who he is, trouble follows. More from chapter 1: Footsteps sounded behind him. “You didn’t even read it.” “Can’t take a handout.” His aunt would be furious. She’d certainly tell his dad. His parents’ rules were he and his sister had to earn stuff, not be handed […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern understands what’s ‘important’ to Cor. More from chapter 5: Fern hurried after Lady Pina, who had promised to introduce her to the manager of a wet meadow on the mainland. But that wasn’t as important as leaving that guy hanging. Cor had hidden it well, but she’d seen the excitement in […]
It’s #BookQW and adventurous Cor loves living on the ‘edge’. More from Chapter 1: The ball of one booted foot tapped down on the red stone, and he moved the other to a flecked stone two over, both of which he’d removed the warding from. With his free hand, Cor reached up and found the […]
It’s #BookQW and unique magic has Cor’s mind in a ‘tangle’! More from Chapter 7: Cor mounted the wall. The tall girl was smart enough not to look at him, and he moved silently up behind Marty. “Sorry? What did you say?” Marty spun, throwing out a close blast, but Cor was ready, blocking it […]
It’s #BookQW and a safe ‘capture’ of small animals is a wonder! More from Chapter 22, a scene of tree climbing and care for wildlife: Ash arrived and greeted him with a smile and another pruning saw. He reviewed the lines and Cor’s saddle, approving the layout and connections, then he glanced over the limb. […]
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 […]
