Nine-year-old Amy Winter's holiday plans have gone from exciting to total disaster. 

How is she supposed to have any fun being packed up and sent to stay with a weird relative she can't even remember? 

And Aunt Penelope is as weird as they get. With her tangerine curls and old-fashioned clothes, she looks like she came straight out of the old storybooks she collects.  

What type of person owns a two-story house with a face living on it? With doors that open and close on their own, and a staircase that never ends.

 Amy is turned upside down and inside out  as she's thrown into a world where one's imagination holds all the power.   Where  Magic becomes part of  her everyday life.  One that includes a talking  cat with a top hat and a Pixie King  who believes she is a Storyteller.

Forming true friendships with the most unlikely of creatures helps Amy understand that not everyone has to be her friend. And  the friends she does have, are worth fighting for.

Book 1 of  the Storyteller Chronicles.


 
Entry for Open Novella Contest 2022. Based on  prompt #15-Being a single child has pros and cons. Being stuck with a weird elderly aunt for the holiday certainly counts among the latter. Or does it...?

Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

An enchanted garden, a tale that exceeds time. Join the boy who loves a girl he mustn't love and a girl love a ghost she doesn't fully understand. A romance in a thriller. Who exactly is the silhouette and why does he have no parents or never leave the old white picket fence of his house. For the longest time. Since I can remember, the only thing I was ever good at was writing stories or telling them. It's the only thing that got me through the day or even for the majority of high school. This story ' the boy in the garden' was inspired by a house I found one day coming back from school. The story is my narration of what I think could have happened to the house and inspired by a former crush I had when I was in the 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it .
