It’s #BookQW and ‘grim’ situations aren’t just for real life. More from Chapter 11: “But how is being the Witch of the Meadows different from being any other wizard?” Fern sat at the bar in her kitchen, enveloped in a state of disbelief, her hands numb to the point of cold. “Something of your family […]
It’s #BookQW and our island needs its magical ‘balance.’ More from Chapter 5: A wave of nausea hit Fern. Was it from the muck? Her imagination? Or that she’d nearly fallen from the tree hollow, stories high in the air. She lowered to the floor, where the wood crumbles cushioned her ungraceful landing. Was the […]
It’s #BookQW and sometimes people ‘need’ more magic than they have. More from Chapter 2: Fern gasped, her mind blank for a moment as she tried to keep up. “You are on… What do you mean my trial?” “Aye. You asked me to stop keeping secrets from you and the time has come for that.” […]
In honor of Lost Whisperer of the Seas‘ anniversary and Free download week (Didn’t know? Haul in your catch here or at my Payhip Store!), let’s show off the smaller sailboats featured in the story. I shot these photos for research at the Annapolis Boat Show in 2011 to help me visualize the sailing portions. […]
Coral and Ty’s story came out a year ago and it’s a finalist in the National Readers’ Choice Awards. Let’s celebrate! I’m offering the ebook for free for a limited time. As usual, it’s taking some retailers longer to switch over the pricing. So far it’s free on Kobo and Nook and my Payhip Store. […]
It’s #BookQW and sometimes people are ‘perfectly’ different than you thought. More from Chapter 22: Fern started dipping cupfuls of the black soil mixture into a seed tray. “What is that?” Raven asked, his question more of a challenge. “Potting soil,” she answered warily. “You can’t grow ratna in that barren matter.” Her hackles rose. […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern wants an incredible ‘dream’! More from Chapter 15: Fern rubbed her throbbing temples. Lady Mimosa pulled Fern’s hands down and held them in hers again. “This is naught to worry over.” No, probably Mom didn’t love her less for lying, not if she’d kept quiet and continued to put charms on […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘finds’ creative magic for beekeeping. From Chapter 15: Their bee yard was in a clearing between two terrace walls, four hives made up of two hive bodies each and a fifth with three. Additional hive stands stood empty. “This isn’t enough hives for the size of your orchard,” he remarked. “We […]
It’s #BookQW and Coral hesitates a ’second’. More from Chapter 5: Coral backed toward the door. The stranger, slender and muscular, straightened to stand only inches taller than her five feet. He wore the dairy’s white work shirt and dungarees, but with a red bandanna capping his head like a pirate’s headgear. Dark brown locks […]
It’s #BookQW and this might be Coral’s lucky ‘year’! More from Chapter 2: She let out her breath. Not that her parents had ever caught her in the years she’d been sneaking off and back onto the ship. Creak. The sound meant little, but the subtle shift of weight on the schooner did. Had Lemon […]
