Everyone loves stories of princesses and princes.
They love the happily ever after that comes with every single one; even ones that say they won't have one. This isn't their story.
Most tales begin with that dreaded beginning "Once Upon A Time". They usually end with a princess overcoming her faults and worries and marrying the charming prince. This is not one of those stories I am afraid.
This is the story of a little girl that came to be known as Jester, a fool in the eyes of many, and how her world had been turned around not only once, but twice and all before her nineteenth birthday.

Fayre
Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."Complete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete

Lunar Flare Book 1: Crimson Moon
A mischievous jester. A gentle soldier. A secret that could tear their lives apart. Noble born runaway turned jester Thedrick enjoys his job possibly a little too much, and his habit of both teasing and flirting with the king's soldiers often lands him in hot water, though the beatings they serve him never seem to dissuade him or dampen his spirits. Only recently recruited into the royal guard, everyone wants the gentle giant Beowulf to be intimidating, telling him to keep his helmet on to cover his soft face while he stands behind the throne looking menacing, though the soldier would much rather be back home baking pies. When the two of them meet, the guard is enamored by the tiny fool, and becomes his protector, a job that turns out to be a lot more difficult than one might assume, especially when Beowulf learns that Thedrick might be harboring a dark secret.Complete
