One Scottish Lass A Regency Time Travel Romance Novella
Samhain. All Hallows' Eve. The most mystical night of the year. The time when the veil between the worlds became perilously thin. And with a full moon overhead, this awesome power reaches its climactic height. Sorcha had no time for mystical nonsense - there were enough challenges in navigating the mine-field of her mother's vicious temper and the most important event of her young life. For, at long last, she had left Edinburgh to see the world. She and her mother were visiting the elegant city of Bath. Sorcha was wearing the finest dress she'd seen - and she was stepping into a life she'd only dreamt of. But when Johnny's eyes meet hers, and jealous rivals vow revenge, that delicate layer between what is and what once was rips. It shreds like the fragile thread of one's life. One Scottish Lass is the first novella in the regency time travel romance trilogy. It is 116 pages / 18,000 words. The second novella in the series is A Time Apart. The first two novellas end in cliffhangers, while the third provides a happy ending. The series then will continue in another trilogy - those will be coming out over the coming weeks. These stories are teen-friendly with no explicit language, violence, or intimacy. All proceeds benefit battered women's shelters. Note that for those who prefer reading books in all-in-one form, each trio of novellas will also be compiled as a completed box set once all three are done. It just means you have to be patient and wait for me to finish writing all of them :). For those who prefer to read along as I write, and offer suggestions for me to shape the plot, these novellas are here for your enjoyment! Either way, I'd love to hear your feedback on the storyline and characters.Complete
The Cursed Witch
It has been ages since the Witch started to look after the villagers. With all her years on Earth, with her unchanging face and arthritis problem, she thinks about the villagers before herself... What a cute little story! That's exactly what it is. A cute little story. The Witch doesn't heal the villagers on her own will. She doesn't look like and live as an old little woman for her pleasure. It's a curse. She can't leave this place. Her soul is embedded in this house. And she will die if she quits it for too long. "Don't rummage through the past. Don't you dare disobey the curse." Fine. Relleis will do the exact opposite. It's time to put an end to this punishment she doesn't deserve. Warning! Gore content in chapter 3. It is mentionned and you can skip it.Complete

Wild Witches
The year is 1914, the border between magical creatures and the humans is clearly defined. But unknown to many minds, the ministry of magic has another thorn in their flesh, the so-called wild witches. Descendants of old blood lines, believers in ancient rituals, never frightened in the dark woods, because deep within the forest the most terrifying thing was a wild witch with a wicked filled mind. Many wizards believed that they were part of cults, giving the devils their souls and slaughtering animals and muggles for sacrifices. Lucky for them, those transferences weren't all too real. Wild witches weren't burned anymore in Salem, they didn't sacrifice a life just to satisfy the needs of ambiguous gods and devils, they weren't evil. Not unless you awakened their rage... However, when influential men started growing their fear of peaceful witches, the burden of certain consequences would follow. 1914 the Ministry of Magic decided to enforce the rule that all witches and wizards must go to schools and can no longer be taught at home, like wild witches were. The young witch Y/n needs now to face the first school she's ever seen, not knowing that by the end of the school year her life would be changed forever... ~Be the witch you were born to be, wild and free.~ I actually post this rather short story on my tumblr, but decided then to post it here as well.Complete
