Once upon a time, on an island off the coast of the Land of Im, there lived a thirteen year old girl named Clary. She wanted nothing more than to stay on her family's farm, but when the sun doesn't rise after the Winter Solstice it is up to her to quest across the Faelands to restore the Sun Stone to the Solar Fae and bring light back into the world. Travelling with her is a magical Nutcracker, and together they meet both Royal and Solitary Fae Reindeer's, Polar Bears, Snow Maidens, Dwarves and Trolls who help and hinder them on their journey to the palace of the Winter King.
Once Upon a Midwinter's Night is a retelling of The Nutcracker, The Snow Queen and East of the Sun West of the Moon set in a magical world of faeries, sprites and other magical creatures.

Once Upon Now Grand Prize Winner published by Gallery Books. Sixteen-year-old Mira Sighansen never questions her place in the majestic wilderness of the Yukon Territory until she witnesses her brothers' oil rig explode. Refusing to believe the young men are dead, the teen's suspicions are strengthened when their bodies aren't found and she's later visited by six wild egrets. But these are no ordinary birds, and Mira is faced with a remarkable task not even the loss of her voice or the anger of her best friend (over a boy, of course!) can hamper. Convinced she can break a magical enchantment to bring her brothers back, Mira will risk jail and even psychiatric commitment to stop the rig from being rebuilt. Failure to overcome the doubts of her mayor mother, the opposition of her drilling foreman step-father, and the wrath of an industry thirsty for the valuable natural resource could mean not only the end of her family as she knows it, but also the loss of a vital part of her peoples' culture. This 9,000 word original short story is a modern-day retelling of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale number forty-nine 'The Six Swans' with a First Nations twist.
