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 […]
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 ‘tired’ doesn’t dampen her love for this land—or this boy! More from Chapter 7: With Annmar’s arm firmly in Mary Clare’s grip, they crossed the farmyard. In the gathering dusk, the mountain breezes brought a freshness to the evening air, and Annmar breathed it eagerly after days indoors. The farm crops and […]
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 what a magical word for my ‘steam’punk series! More from Chapter 10: Though she wanted to rub her aching temples, Annmar kept her hands folded in her lap. Mistress Gere worked magic. And what’s more, she was saying Annmar could as well. A shiver ran down Annmar’s spine. Rational thought and every […]
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 our heroine almost missed a thread ‘zip’ by. I’ve been deep in reviewing my three Luminated Threads novels to reformat them and have new covers designed. Since my head was filled with Annmar and Daeryn’s story, the quote comes from their second volume, The Twisting. More: Her heart pounded. The light shone […]
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.” […]
