A short excerpt from “A Fairy’s Tale”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granny was making breakfast while I was tidying up the rest of our little home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow who could that be at such an early hour?\u201d Granny called from the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knock on the door came more insistent. I came running down the stairs to answer the door. Even though the sun was up when I opened the door it was totally dark. Standing in front of me was the biggest and most beautiful male I ever had the pleasure of meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that exact moment Granny came flying from kitchen the spoon swinging wildly in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho\u2019s disturbing my peace and quiet so early in the morning?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so sorry to intrude madam, but my sister sent me here on urgent business,\u201d replied the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd just who is your sister, pray tell?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lady Arabella of Stonewood Manor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell come in. Why didn\u2019t you say so in the first place?\u201d Granny led the way to our parlor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow what is this urgent business your sister has sent you on?  Don\u2019t be shy young man, speak up. My hearing isn\u2019t what it used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short excerpt from “The Heartsone”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why was she out on a night like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course Ariel knew the answer before she had even asked herself the question. It was because she was needed by one of the townsfolk who had been badly injured causing him great pain and his family increasing stress, so she couldn’t say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind howled through the tops of the trees making them look like giant spiders swinging in the night sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clouds rolled in covering the sliver of moon bringing the threat of rain, or worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople in their right minds don\u2019t go into the darkness on a night like tonight,\u201d her old Nanna had said. \u201cYou mark my words; something evil is about this night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ariel had simply given her a hug and said she would send word if it was going to be late before she returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The birds first drew her attention, as they should have been quiet. Suddenly, the blackness of her surroundings was as bright as day, as lightning began piercing the sky. Eerie forms appeared to be everywhere, coming out of the night, driven by the wind. The trees bare limbs now looked like long
boney fingers reaching for her hair and cloak. I should have reached the farmer\u2019s cottage by now, she said to herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
