It’s #BookQW and not the ‘night’ our heroine expected! Luna stays busy with her younger sisters and widowed father–one of many reasons she’s hesitating to commit to Salm of the Seas. More from Chapter 5: “How will we clean it in a week?” Nebula asked. With a sigh, Luna perched on the edge of […]
Happy Book Birthday to Keepers of the Sea Cliffs! I’m excited to release the 4th in The Windborne series. Salm and Luna’s story evolved from a much shorter story that I wrote during a novelette writing workshop in the spring of 2018. The story just flowed and was complete at the end of the 4-week […]
It’s #BookQW and an ‘order’ cannot be ignored! In honor of the release of the 4th novel in The Windborne series, The Witch of the Meadows ebook is free for a week. More from Chapter 23 of The Witch of the Meadows: Laughing, Beri plopped next to Fern. “What’s happening?” she asked in a hushed […]
It’s #BookQW and matters of the heart offer a ‘surprise’! More from Chapter 10: The sound of the surf dropped off as soon as they were over the cliff top. They nestled into a patch of dry grass among the heather. On her knees, Luna murmured to the bird, “There, there,” and hummed while […]
Note, I’m scheduling this on Dec 31st, before going on a birding trip. Since I don’t know what the future #BookQW of the day is, I’ve chosen to use ‘bird’! An excerpt from Chapter 9: At midday, the only thing to look at was the cliffs and birds. He swung the Dobsonian generally in that […]
It’s #BookQW and my heroine is ‘cold’ but catching the hero’s eye! In honor of this novel being withdrawn from RWA’s RITA contest (see yesterday’s post) I’m featuring Lost Whisperer of the Seas and its multiple uses of ‘cold’ in Chapter 11: They glided across the bay and docked in her family’s visitor space—none too […]
It’s #BookQW and everyone is ‘family, but not ‘familiar’ with each other’s traditions. More from the excerpt: “The Yule lighting symbolizes the turning of the Solstice and the return of additional daylight. We don’t mind waiting to do the tree lighting as part of it. You have your starter?” The way Willow phrased it didn’t […]
During this week of promotions and sales, the marketer-wanna-be in my writing life can’t help but point out that my books are available in print paperback. The covers are beautiful and the formating underwent professional attention to detail, if I do say so myself! Check it out: The Windborne series are perfect holiday gifts for […]
It’s #BookQW and in many cases, one never ‘questions’ help! This is the ‘cute meet’ of Fern and Beri from The Witch of the Meadows. More of the scene: Fern sat up fast. The slime yanked on her leg, nearly jerking her free from the tree. She held on. No one was in sight, but […]
It’s #BookQW and of course Fern & Beri are thankful for family. I also give ‘thanks’ to be able to share a new story! More from my Winter Solstice short story: Fern got the second box of tested lights and started on one of the trees still in the middle of the rug. The boys […]
