It’s #BookQW and when Cor tries to ‘hide’ who he is, trouble follows. More from chapter 1: Footsteps sounded behind him. “You didn’t even read it.” “Can’t take a handout.” His aunt would be furious. She’d certainly tell his dad. His parents’ rules were he and his sister had to earn stuff, not be handed […]
It’s #BookQW and an ‘order’ like this is new to this teen witch. More from Chapter 36: “Can I look for my own plant? Real quick?” Lady Soila threw her hands up. “Young’uns these days never listen. Go ahead. In less than…” Fern flung out her hands. Go, she ordered her energy. Find it. She […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern understands what’s ‘important’ to Cor. More from chapter 5: Fern hurried after Lady Pina, who had promised to introduce her to the manager of a wet meadow on the mainland. But that wasn’t as important as leaving that guy hanging. Cor had hidden it well, but she’d seen the excitement in […]
It’s #BookQW and adventurous Cor loves living on the ‘edge’. More from Chapter 1: The ball of one booted foot tapped down on the red stone, and he moved the other to a flecked stone two over, both of which he’d removed the warding from. With his free hand, Cor reached up and found the […]
It’s #BookQW and our heroine’s ‘time’ to be sneaky is nearly over. More from Chapter 1: “I’m happy you’re spending time with friends,” Mom said, and guilt stabbed Fern. She bent and hugged her mom so she didn’t have to say anything. Mom had allowed her to skip helping at their booth for the weekend […]
It’s #BookQW and it’s not ‘simple’ for our non-magical heroine. More from Chapter 7: “No. Take me to the ground.” Then, realizing she was at his mercy, Fern added, “Er, please.” “Hmm. I’ll try to.” Beri roved his eyes from her head to her toes as if measuring her for a uniform. “What? Can’t you […]
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 […]
