Damien of Bohemia was a legend content to live in obscurity. Weary from a century of human and Irin bloodshed, he took shelter among those who would not question his silence or the martial spells he wore over his body. Spells far too numerous for a scribe of his age. Until an earth singer of raw power and no delicacy came to the village where he hid. Sari of Vestfold wasn't intrigued by the mysterious warrior or his moody silences. And she wasn't interested in listening for the whisper of his soul. Even when those whispers promised a connection that could tie them for eternity. DREAMS is the first full novella of the four part book, The Staff and the Blade, but is a story that can be read on it's own. (No cliffhanger!) I'll be posting one chapter every Thursday. The full book is available for pre-order now and releases on July 12, 2016. The first three books of the Irin Chronicles, The SCRIBE, The SINGER, and The SECRET are all available from major retailers. For more information, please visit my website. DISCLAIMER: Posted chapters are unedited advance copy. (There will be typos!) It is not for resale and changes may be made between now and publication. Copyright 2016, Elizabeth Hunter.

It's a normal day at East Delavan High. As normal as any typical story. Classes drone on, pencils scribble against paper and no one can expect what happens next. First, the intercom. Then, the gunshot. Robin Wayne is a sole survivor, trying to escape the walls of her high school with her life. With the power and phones out, the challenge has just gotten more difficult. As the events of the day escalate, Robin comes to realize that what's going on isn't not all what it seems to be. And it's then she must decide whether she really wants to live. One thing is for sure: if Robin survives, she will never be the same. Will you be able to survive? Your will to live is responsible for your own death.

{Watty Awards 2013 Winner} This is simply a story about a lonely girl who finds love.

I wanted to write Hope for those who seem hopeless. • • • In March of 2013, Letters was #1 in the short story category.

They're from two different worlds. He lives in the estate house, and she spends most of her time in the stables helping her father train horses. In fact, Savannah has always been much more comfortable around horses than boys. Especially boys like Jack Goodwin—cocky, popular and completely out of her league. She knows the rules: no mixing between the staff and the Goodwin family. But Jack has no such boundaries. With her dream of becoming a jockey, Savannah isn't exactly one to follow the rules either. She's not going to let someone tell her a girl isn't tough enough to race. Sure, it's dangerous. Then again, so is dating Jack... Author's Note: Over the next month on every Wednesday, I'll be posting exclusive sample chapters of my new book RACING SAVANNAH only on Wattpad! It is like Downton Abbey, but set in the South. Hope you enjoy!

It's basically what the title says... I write to vent, so don't expect it all to make perfect sense.
