It’s #bookqw & nothing is ‘usual’ for Fern’s first #Solstice celebration with a wizard family.

Two strings didn’t work so she dropped them behind the couch and retrieved two boxes of new ones […]
It’s #BookQW and our hero is ‘deep’ in love with a girl who isn’t sure she can commit. At last, a quote from my upcoming release, Keepers of the Sea Cliffs. Details on that below, but first, more from Chapter 2: Feeling as if a school of fish swam through his gut, Salm asked, “How […]
It’s #BookQW and Coral has her ‘finger’ on poking her siblings! Family can be everything, but sometimes you’ve had enough of them!

It’s #BookQW and nighttime is when our heroine ‘lights’ up!

The last set of competitors had landed at the edge of the dueling arena […]

More from Chapter 4: Ma straightened, tucking stray hair into her French braid. “We’ve made our decision for your safety, and I’m thankful your sister has agreed to let you stay with her on top of her generous offer of the bakery job.
