"People in this town are more bound to fairies than they want to admit..." These words have been haunting Ferry for the past six years. Ferry Donovan is a sixteen human-years-old fairy with an interesting life. During the day, he behaves like an ordinary youngster, spending time with his friends, doing his chores, and dreaming about a special girl. At night, he must train to become the Saviour of Akna, his fairy homeland. Everything changes when a boy comes to town, saying he is the lost son of Ferry's human-parents. Now, Ferry and his friends - both human and fae - must find out who this boy is and what are his intentions. Meanwhile, the town of Goodharts is preparing to enter the seventh year since the last vanishing into the Shepherd's Forest. But this is not the strangest of the things occurring. Over the years, Ferry has learned that the Pride Mansion hides many secrets, and they are all connected to an odd reunion of rich people called The Quest. Yet all these become somehow less important compared to Ferry's biggest concern - the girl he likes might not feel the same.

Poetry covering my life's history. Ongoing--still breathing. My poems are a snapshot of a thought, of a feeling, of a time, of a person. But mostly myself as a male growing up from the 60's--after all, we could drink from a hose and survive and make it to the moon! Like that, these are a record of my journeys--what I learned, who I touched and touched me--all while in search of that illusive star and unicorn, which, spoiler alert, I did find. Now, as a graduate from the school of hard knocks, I continue to write from the heart. At the bottom of some, or could even be a title, are dates--you might need a time machine! The dates help to place the thoughts into a world that may no longer exist because, like us, this world evolves. But for that moment I stopped time...and I still can.
