It’s #BookQW and there’s nothing like magic to ‘lift’ your day! More from Chapter 6: Laughter erupted. “Told you, you’re better off with us.” Marty and the hoodie guy were only feet away. “Just come along.” He waggled a finger at her. Blood beaded across the back of her hand, the stinging mixed with tingling, […]
It’s #BookQW, where tripping can be good ‘luck’. More from Chapter 5: Looking out the door, Fern stumbled on the steps. She hadn’t been on the “tree” side of the bus when they drove up, so had had no warning. The park was as Mr. Acer described—a rocky hill topped by a spreading oak—but she […]
It’s #BookQW and two wizards in trouble are fast becoming ‘friends’. More from Chapter 10: The Watcher had light brown skin and looked like an elf, though she doubted he was. His ears weren’t pointed, just large and sticking out. Or maybe his face was narrow, hard to tell because of his flailing auburn-red ringlets. […]
Guardian of the Pines is out into the world, most appropriately on Arbor Day! I loved creating this story and now I’m excited for you to read it. One part of how I came to write this diverse story is on my April 25 guest post for JoyfullyJay.com. Another part is loving trees and letting […]
I have a release date – July 17, 2019 – for Lost Whisperer of the Seas, which means we need to have a cover! Again, I am in love with what Deranged Doctor Designs has done! This is Coral’s story, which takes place along the coast of Scotland and on the Irish Sea. Her brother, […]
It’s #BookQW and two wizards are ‘better’ in sticky situations. More of the excerpt from Chapter 9: She closed her hand over the glass. “I do have to get home to study.” He opened his mouth, closed it and smiled. “Brilliant, let’s go.” He crossed the street. What choice did she have but to follow? […]
I love nature and can’t imagine living apart from it. I know people do and the idea saddens me. I’d rather not face what’s happening to our earth, but we all need to, and make any and every change we are capable of making. Before kids, I worked as a naturalist doing environmental education programs […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor has to be ‘present’ to understand this magic. More from chapter 18: Lady Pina was waiting on the roof of her home in the hollowed log. She perched on a seat made from a curved branch that overlooked a patch of moss with several small, evergreen cowberry bushes and one three-foot-tall […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor learns an ‘important’ lesson. More of the excerpt from Chapter 14: “I’m not leaving.” Cor pounded a fist. “This is the most amazing forest I’ve been to. You promised you’d get me an intern—apprenticeship here.” He stepped closer, trying despite his shorter height to glare down at Fern. “Have you tried? […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘good’ that Cor turns up to help Fern. More from Chapter 7: Cor’s cheek muscles were aching, but the smile that Aunt Syl hated was working on Cara. He’d never gotten into a fight with her, but he didn’t want to find out what she could do. The wide-eyed witch backed up […]
