Sister Mary has lost her way, or so people think. Kicked out of her convent and sent away to be reformed, this jolly nun discovers her gift of glee is perfect for solving murders and the occasional naughty peek.
________________________________________

Merry Sister Mary is the world's most happy-go-lucky nun, and where the nuns are concerned, possibly the worst. She has none of the qualities reserved for a traditional lady of the cloth: a fear of water, an odd relationship with an umbrella, and no talent in teaching or nursing, yet Sister Mary believes she has a special God given power, laughter.  Such a belief has led her to be kicked out of her convent in Chicago for accidentally flashing a group of churchgoers and deemed in desperate need of reform. She is sent on a bus to a stricter convent in New Orleans, Louisiana, but in a drama fueled twist, God has different plans for the joyous nun. She is to solve a murder. 

After missing the bus Sister Mary is forced to seek refuge with a Catholic family in the small town of St. Francisville. A horrific murder occurs sending the town into a frenzy of bittersweet joy. The person killed has long been despised and so named the Stanton Witch for the mystery surrounding her husband's death and the decades of misfortune since her arrival. In an effort to expose the truth, Sister Mary finds herself in the middle of one family's terrible and insidious secret. As the bodies pile up she uses her gift of glee to uncover the clues missed by the police and hopefully stop the killer from claiming another innocent victim.  Her goal-- prove to the world once and for all that one does not need to be traditional to make a difference.

|| 2024 AMBY FANTASY FAVOURITE | ×3 FEATURED || When the ever-skittish, homesick, twelve-year old Fralith accidentally-on-purpose stops a kidnapping, no one knows what to think--especially Fralith. Newly stranded on a planet not his own through a misdirected HomeKin portal, where MetalEaters roar and people stand around staring at rectangles, Fralith struggles to puzzle out rules of the world before he gets eaten. But not all things in this new world are out to get him, and some are even trying to save him. When a flame--haired man begins to teach him the ways of the new world, Fralith starts to realize that there might be hope, healing, and home on this planet. A Fallen HomeKin is a heart-warming, hunger-inducing, adorable story about grief, home, and encountering an entirely alien world. ***OLD DRAFT; NOW PUBLISHED*** | | 2024 Ambys Fantasy Top Pick 20/1/2025 | | Featured on Fantasy, Middle Grade and Children's Fantasy 8/4/2023 | | Featured on StoriesUndiscovered, Tales of Adventure 5/2/2023 | | Featured on Fantasy, Magical Realism 24/6/2024 | #1 in the Maddy's awards | #1 in Fantasy in Gloria Regali | #2 in contemporary/teen in Lunar Paragons | And many more! ***This draft is exclusively published on W A T T P A D.
