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 with a ‘test’ of our non-magical heroine. More from Chapter 1: Gran patted Fern’s cheek. “Good, lass. I’m glad you’re flexible, because I have some news: I have other inspections to attend to, not to mention they are sticklers about favoritism so don’t want me present on my land for the judging because […]
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 ‘stones’ are always part of the Solstice! More from Chapter 1: Inside their cabin, Fern laid her box reverently on the couch and opened the flaps. Shredded paper nested tissue-wrapped objects. She unwrapped one and held up the lacy six-pointed star of clear filaments, more spider gossamer than glass. He whistled. “Lady […]
And it’s free! Did you ever wonder how a guinea pig came to live on the wild island with Lady Lark? If someone was to get in trouble on the Isle of Giuthas, who would you guess it would be? How did Raven and Willow feel about each other before they realized it? ~~~ Go […]
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 […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘dark’ times will change with the Solstice! Can you believe it is December? More from Chapter 3: Dad gestured to the woodstove. “The fire is ready for the lighting. Are we all ready?” Mom turned out the overhead lights, and Raven ran to turn off the others in the kitchen. With the […]
It’s #BookQW and surprise magic ‘pounds’ our heroine. More from Chapter 3: Leaves crushed right beside them. Someone invisible grunted. “Watch out,” groaned Fern’s rescuer, just before a knee popped into sight between two trees and a body stumbled after it. The new guy—Raven?—swayed off-balance, his hair swinging in a long, black braid. He flailed […]
It’s #BookQW and sometimes being ‘dizzy’ can be fun! More from Chapter 22: A huge grin spread over her face. Beri raised a brow in question. “I’ve done it,” she said. “I’ve sealed the channels.” He tapped experimentally at her fingertips. Nothing happened. “Aye, you have. I’m quite happy for you, Fern.” He grinned and, […]
It’s #BookQW and when Fern is in trouble, it’s Cor’s ‘pleasure’ to help. Again, a #BookQW word that I don’t seem to use much. But this quote in Fern’s point of view in book 2 of my series–Cor’s story!–lets me point out that Fern’s story continues as the friendship between these two develops. More from […]
