An orphan with a dubious pedigree strives to secure her future through marriage, but as she stumbles through the dance of courtship, she begins to question who she truly is -- and who she wants to be. ***** Edith Shepley looks like a Wyrm. She takes after her father, whoever he was, but that doesn't change things. She is a proper Folk lady nonetheless, trained from the cradle to govern as Baroness of Ewert someday. And she knows her duty. Now a woman at sixteen years old, Edith must marry and beget Ewert's next heir. She obediently considers suitor after suitor, some sweet, some baffling, some detestable. But the more she sees of her mother's society, the more Edith questions whether she really is a Folk lady, after all. And the more she's stung by its insults, its injuries and injustices, the more she doubts she really wants to be. Book One of The Unfinished Wyrm! Wattys 2017 "The Storysmiths" winner!

All Trina and her little brother Andrew want is to find a way back home, but maybe there are other things that are just as important. Trina and Andrew are transported to Rumaya, a world filled with nymphs and ents, talking flowers and animals, and mythical creatures Trina has only heard of in books. Some are friendly and some are not, but Trina develops friendships and begins to overcome her shyness as she tries to find a way back home. The more attached she becomes to the others she meets in Rumaya, the harder it is to focus just on her own need to get home. Should she help Daphne save her laurel tree, or comfort a lonely hippalectryon, even if it means passing up a way to get home? While following Daphne's prophecy, Trina discovers that sometimes our choices can lead to pain and sacrifice, but sometimes the sacrifice is worth the cost. Just as her teacher advocates at the start, Trina realizes that altruism and kindness have their own rewards.
