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 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 ‘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. […]
It’s #BookQW and after some sailing dunks, time for a ‘dry’ break & kissing! More from Chapter 26: Ty chose his words carefully. “It’s hard when things fall apart. Isn’t there anything else fun in these ports to replace dueling?” “Aye.” She cocked her head, twisting her lips. “Kissing.” What? Not that he didn’t want […]
