It’s #BookQW and we all brighten the coming solstice with ‘color’. More from Chapter 2: “You feel put out?” Beri huffed. “I had to spend eight hours of the one snow day inside a school building and two more inside a bus. I had only the walk home and a few snowballs pitched at Fern.” […]
It’s #BookQW and the ‘dark’ is celebrated at the Solstice. More from Chapter 3: With the house darkened, the view through the windows showed the spruce and pines surrounding the cabin. Everybody clustered into a semicircle facing the hearth. “Heather?” Dad asked quietly. “Who shall do the lighting this year?” “I’d like Mum to have […]

The covers are beautiful and the formating underwent professional attention to detail, if I do say so myself! Check it out: The Windborne series are perfect holiday gifts for […]
It’s #BookQW and in many cases, one never ‘questions’ help! This is the ‘cute meet’ of Fern and Beri from The Witch of the Meadows. More of the scene: Fern sat up fast. The slime yanked on her leg, nearly jerking her free from the tree. She held on. No one was in sight, but […]
