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...?

Mystery surrounded her life, ever since the day that her father had left for war when she was around eight. Dreams of dragons and magic filled her mind every time that she slept, but that wasn't what made her wonder if there was something else. No, green eyes that were a mystery to her filled her mind even in the waking world. Those eyes of a young man kept her wanting to be asleep for all eternity just so that she could see them time and time again. And, when those green eyes came to her on one Christmas Day, she knew that her life had changed as she knew it. For those eyes belonged to a Warlock from a different world, and she, she was a Witch from a different place than Earth. And, she had been called to help save the world that she never knew. Because she was the Witch of Anima, a place that had only just been a dream _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
