Since the reign of her grandfather, the Aertisians have been at war with the United Clans of the Cluvani. But when her father's prophecy declares that the Jaquelle of Aertisia will bear the heir to the Cluvani throne, her destiny is transformed. Years later, negotiations of peace are concluded, and the Jaquelle must travel across the continent to meet her betrothed, the Jhak of the Cluvani for the first time. Cultural and linguistic tensions run high as the jaquelle attempts to negotiate her own peace with her Cluvani escort. A plot to reignite the war ambushes the jaquelle's caravan, and she must rely on her betrothed's crass and irreverent cousin, Lord O'rian du Ibhere, to make it to Fort Khadi alive. And despite the mistress's reappearance, a sabotaged wedding gown, and a dead body falling at her feet, the Jaquelle of Aertisia still drags herself to the altar.

Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland). Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones? The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree. Examples of ways in which reality has branched: What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them? What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company? What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me? What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school? What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?

"There's not a whole lot of magic left anymore, is there? The witches are melted, Cinderella's dead, and the Wolves are endangered. The fey left." ★ "Not all of them," Tilly said with a smile. ★★★ "ABC's 'ONCE UPON A TIME' meets 'SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL'" Hard times have come to Grimland since Queen Cinderella's death nearly 60 years ago, and nobody feels it more than Tilly Lafayette and her family. Despite their propensity for magic, they're just scraping by in Coleville, a deeply superstitious little smudge of a town in the foothills of the Sesmi mountains. When Mama's chronic illness suddenly worsens, Tilly must use her most powerful spell to save her, but to do so she has to leave behind everything she's ever known. ★★★ THE SEAM SORCERESS is a journey through some of the world's most beloved stories, re-imagined through the lens of Appalachian culture and Americana. Leigh Heasley (2017 Watty award winner and author of "Kairos," optioned for a TV series by eOne entertainment) weaves in personal memories and her family's unique history alongside the magic in this deeply personal tale.

In 1946, war-weary Rose Grantham leaves the grim, ravaged streets of London on a whim, hoping to rediscover who she is and where she came from. Mousehole is a pretty little village in Cornwall with a turbulent past and undercurrent of betrayal, grief and destruction beyond the sparkling blue of the sea and the whitewashed cottages. For Rose, it offers the promise of anonymity, rest and renewal. Or, so she thought. As she investigates deeper into the mysteries of the past, and experiences her first taste of love, she finds that her quiet journey of self-discovery may be much more than she had once anticipated.
