Sienna Diaz has lived the life of a nameless face, a retreater from threats, and a thief of lives. Every time she lights a match, she is transported to another world. Surviving as a woman with many pasts and identities, she can hardly call herself her own. Despite her desire for control, however, the fire -- her matches -- remain her only escape. But as a pawn to the universe and to the flames themselves, Sienna finds that escape is only a delay of the inevitable: a life of wandering and loneliness. After an accident, another burnt match Sienna lands in a new world where Fire is an entity, a deity to its citizens. The opportunity is clear: overpower Fire and rewrite her identity. This time, starting afresh would be real and permanent. Settled. But this Fire is unpredictable and temperamental, worshipped by his priests and guarded in his own temple like a treasure. When Sienna Diaz was younger and still lived in a place she remembered as Nevada, her parents told her to never play with fire. She agreed -- no, she would never play with it. She would kill it. *Open Novella Contest 2020 Entry* *Awesome cover by @CelticWarriorQueen17*

Will Susan find the strength to remember, or will her grief consume her? It was only supposed to be one week, not a lifetime. The mirror wasn't supposed to invoke insanity. Susan hadn't meant for her family to hate her ... all she'd wanted to do was embrace reality and forget childhood fantasies. But now ... now it's too late for Susan. And no one understands why. Except possibly Jill Pole's mysterious brother. ***Written in twelve parts, I'll be posting an installment the first Wednesday every month starting March 2019. Or you can find it two days early on the first Mondays of the month at my blog: keturahskorner.blogspot.com P.S. I love C.S. Lewis and am rather nervous to try to undertake a story that he should have written. But I've always loved Susan and feel that I must find out her story. And so this is my humble endeavor to do just that.

France, 1937. It only takes a single snowstorm for Lina Fontaine's family to fall apart. When an accident in the snow kills her brother and renders her speechless, Lina and her family move to Marseilles, France in order to escape the painful memories. Disillusioned and disgusted with her new reality, Lina yearns to hide away from the world. Yet when her father abandons them and threatens to take her beloved sister with him, Lina realizes she can no longer ignore her own struggles. It is only when Lina meets Luka Fuhrmann, a German-Jewish pianist with a mysterious past, that she begins to have hope again. At the same bookstore she encounters him, she receives a book with a letter tucked between the pages, written by a father pleading for help to find his missing daughter. When she learns there is a monetary reward, Lina realizes this may be the key to saving her own family. Yet as Lina becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl and spends more and more time with Luka, she finds her frequent absences may only be destroying her crumbling family further. And when Lina's plan ends up endangering her sister as well as Luka, Lina is forced to decipher what is most important: her family, the boy she loves, or her own desires.

You've heard the story of Cinderella-- how she conquered the odds, danced at the ball, and married the prince. That's mostly accurate, except for the part about marrying the prince. This story is not about Cinderella. It's about her ugly stepsister, Thisbe, who also conquered the odds and danced at the ball. And if you want to find out who actually married the prince... well, you'll have to read the story. Trigger warnings: Child abuse and mentions of suicide.
