It’s #BookQW and Fern sees the ‘tangle’ threatening the island’s future. More from Book 2 in the Windborne series, Guardian of the Pines: The flying wizards dove to the ground, gusts rising from their huge wings. When the last was down, he shouted, “Clear.” Hands lifted, and a rumble shook the ground. Then the stream […]
It’s #BookQW and will two ‘strong’ personalities sail together? More from Chapter 11: “And I already ken that you telling off your father and leaving home doesn’t change your desires to build a business. You won’t instantly decide to live on a boat because of this.” Was Salm upset they hadn’t gone away? Or about […]
It’s #BookQW and will Luna’s precious memories ‘fade’? More from Chapter 5: Eyes closed, Luna tried to push aside the arguments her sisters determinedly dredged up. Did she dare magically shut off her hearing to avoid the voices around the table? “I’ve been asking you lasses what things of your mother’s you want,” her father […]
It’s #BookQW – will our heroine be ‘allowed’ her independence? More from Chapter 2: Spells, she looks so good. Even cocooned in a life jacket. Luna flashed him a smile, gray eyes hidden behind sunglasses, but her cheeks lifted, her head tilted impishly— Orb take it, had he pushed that thought to her? Aye, he […]
It’s #BookQW and our hero loves a ‘strong’ heroine, despite her reluctance to confide in him. More from Chapter 6: Shouts leaked from behind the closed door of the keeper’s quarters. Salm cocked his head—no, he shouldn’t eavesdrop. He backed off several steps. Had Luna told her father already? Then he should knock louder and […]
It’s #BookQW and when my heroine ‘simmers’, my hero is clueless. For a second week, Book Quote Wednesday has chosen I word I rarely use. I must broaden my vocabulary! 😉 More from Chapter 15 to see what’s causing Luna’s upset: Luna spun away and, arms crossed, paced the small salon before turning back to […]
It’s #BookQW and my hero can’t understand her ‘gloom’. This is a word that does not appear in many of my lighthearted novels! I had to check five before I found this one. More from chapter 6: “Tonight has already been lost.” Luna let out a long sigh. “Papa let some pushy old barnacles on […]
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 […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘might’ be nervous himself. I’ve chosen this particular ‘might’ quote because it illustrates a positive point noted in this week’s review of Guardian of the Pines on Raise Them Righteous: “In particular, Cor’s race and sexuality are admirably front-and-center. Rather than making these incidental facets of his character, they are integral […]
