The holidays are a great time to share your favorite series with friends and family. Introduce them through an ebook, paperback or large print edition, and you’ll have lots to talk about over the break! Here are the books in-hand to get a better idea of what they are like. This year, I also put […]
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 […]
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.” […]
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.
