"If they aren't pretty when they are dead, then why bother keeping the bodies in my cemetery? Just burn them. Burn all of them, and give me the charming ones." I laughed at how psychotic he sounded; or even how psychotic he was."You're young, why do you even own your own cemetery? That can't even be legal." "Why bother concerning yourself over my affairs?

They would come from all over the world. The tourist with their cameras and cellphones. Some had tour guides and were in larger groups, some were with just their families, and occasionally there would be one lone stranger. They wanted to see it. They wanted to know if it was true. The city itself was beautiful, or it had been a very long time ago. It's been centuries now. In a forgotten corner of the town, hidden in a gate enclosed courtyard, ivy vines covering most of the opening was a statue. The statue was intricately carved, with amazingly accurate detail. It was an amazing feat. The sculptor is unknown, and whoever the model was has never been discovered. It was a statue of a man, who appeared to be a king or royalty of some kind. No one really knows, and even more have forgotten that it even existed in the first place. But there is a legend. If you go to the statue and clasp your hand in his, if the two are meant to be the man will be freed from his stone imprisonment. Many have tried and failed. This is the story of the statue. ****SLOW UPDATES****

The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule. Happy reading and beware of goblins. Beautiful cover is courtesy of @thisrosewillneverdie
