It’s #BookQW and Fern feels she’s in a ‘vise’! More from Chapter 3: Rescue Guy heaved backward and dug in his boot heels. Her slide slowed, but her body stretched, muscles straining. The guy yelled, “Rip energy’s got her,” at the same time Raven swore and threw himself at her. She flinched, expecting him to […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern’s young mother fought for her! More from Chapter 11: Fern sighed. “I asked, and Mom says she’ll never go back to where she grew up. She loves her work.” “But she kept the magic safe.” Beri shrugged one shoulder. “Having it within reach again seriously changes things. If she won’t return… […]
It’s #BookQW and will ‘candy’ bribe a badger? More from Chapter 16: This was crazy. Clearly, the badger didn’t want her cutting across the meadow. If he didn’t leap at her after that wild dance, he probably wasn’t going to. “Well, how am I supposed to get up there, then?” She jerked a thumb toward […]
It’s #BookQW and will Fern be caught in a ‘dreaded’ lie? More from Chapter 1: “I’m happy you’re spending time with friends,” Mom said, and guilt stabbed Fern.

It’s #BookQW and Ty will ‘rise’ to help with a whale rescue! More from the whale rescue in Chapter 28: Ty might not have trained for saving whales or have the skills this Oyster fellow did, but watching had given him an idea. Would it help if I magically hold the kayak? Aye, Piper called. […]
It’s #BookQW and the ‘charge’ isn’t Coral’s problem. More from Chapter 1: “Nay,” Coral said quickly, just as Pearl called, “Point taken for harassing your opponent.” Coral threw her a grateful glance. Spike shouldn’t even consider that a possibility—she didn’t. What trick was he up to here? “That’s right.” Lemon flew up behind Spike. “Penalty. […]
It’s #BookQW and Salm must act ‘quick’ to avoid trouble–for the future! More from Chapter 1: Salm landed next to the covered lobster crate before either sister could block him. “Aye, I suppose. We’re busy this time of year and need the catch numbers to make a decision,” he said politely, not daring to look […]
It’s #BookQW and no one ‘misses’ Luna. More from Chapter 4: Strolling onto the beach below the looming headland, Luna loosened her silver energy. It swirled over her back and formed white-feathered wings nearly her height. Spreading them, she checked the breeze off the water to prepare for flight. A burst of conversation sounded on […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘hang’ it, I don’t use #hang, and Beri & Raven are decorating a tree! Can you find where I might have used #hang? More from the short story: Beri had noticed Willow was wearing the wooden bracelets Raven had carved of three different colors of wood. They’d gotten the idea when they’d […]
It’s #BookQW and does Fern ‘flatly’ accept magic? More from Chapter 1: It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret.
