LONGLISTED IN THE 2019 OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST!!!!
Kailie Jones thought she was writing a fantasy novel. A knock on the door revealed that she got more than she bargained for. In a world of Monsters and Men, Dragons and Magic, Kailie embarks on a quest driven an ancient feud, one she inadvertently had a hand in creating. What will Kailie and her unwitting companion accomplish as they move forward, or is it backward, with their quest?
(P.S... If the cover looks bad, that's because I made it myself. And hand drew the picture...)

Since she was born, she has had the strange ability to sense buried things. Cursed to, she would say. From lost keys buried by overexcited dogs to dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period, Maya can find anything, anytime. An abrupt invitation to a potential site near Aztec ruins then pulls Maya to Isla Cozumel, just off of the coast of the mainland. But there's something off about the eerie vegetation and crumbled temples. Something sinister, festering and impatient. The ancient warning texts are enough to unnerve her. Worse, the jade snake that haunts her dreams has begun to leak into the real world. For the first time, Maya has found something that she shouldn't have. [ WORD COUNT : ~ 21 000 ] ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Where mysterious magic waits for a curse to awaken, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 meets 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘣 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳. ____________________________________ Copyright © 2020 Stacey Willis, Ear to the Serpent.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
