It’s #BookQW and tough Coral won’t ‘cry’ over her losses. More from Chapter 4: “Sorry, love,” Pop said to Coral, “but the quash is the only way your mother and I can have easy minds while we’re so far from you this week.” He laid a hand on her shoulder to lock down her magic. […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor isn’t sure how he’ll ‘win’. More from Chapter 16: Cor pulled out his mobile, opened a note and began typing what she’d said. “Put that away,” Lady Pina snapped. “But to remember—” “I’ll teach you. Every morning.

It’s #BookQW and Coral is tired of the ‘games’ boys play! More from Chapter 8: Ty was cute. He didn’t play games like these other fellows, or even duel. With her magic quashed, it’d be safe to have a little fun with someone nice. It could be a trial to learn if Ty was like […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern makes a usual ‘wish’! More from Chapter 1: It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret.

It’s #BookQW and Fern feels she’s in a ‘vise’! More from Chapter 3: Rescue Guy heaved backward and dug in his boot heels. Her slide slowed, but her body stretched, muscles straining.

It’s #BookQW and Fern’s young mother fought for her! More from Chapter 11: Fern sighed. “I asked, and Mom says she’ll never go back to where she grew up.

It’s #BookQW and will ‘candy’ bribe a badger? More from Chapter 16: This was crazy. Clearly, the badger didn’t want her cutting across the meadow.
