Excerpt:
The youngest, Ade, bravely looked onto the fairy circle. Not a single tremor, just undying anticipation. it was the first time Ade appeared So serious. No longer did girlish squeals or tantrums overcome her, but laser focus.
Not far, her new friends crouched and stood behind bushes, with clear instructions to stay away. Thankfully, The agreed upon 100 ft was an approximation Ade really had no notion of and so each second that passed they encroached ever closer until Ade's foot was lifted.
The Quartet Froze watching her with rapidly beating hearts. Ade looked up at the group and shot a thumbs up, followed immediately by a skip into the fairy circle. It was effortlessly and light whisking her away into the unperceivable.

Away with the Fairies
☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆Complete

Aid comes from a secret prince trying to save his own family from the Colorless, as well as his warrior bride. And yet the clock keeps ticking.

Excerpt: "Imagine with me, if you will, that you had never known Fear," He began. "To do so, you might first ask the question: What is Fear? It is a thing like a man, which holds us back from every glimmering moment! He stands darkly at your back, in certain instances - like when looking forward to things that end - while presently you'd like them to remain. He reaches before you, stealing away cherished moments you've not yet known - things like sunny days, friendship, stars, love, and life. "It is the dark writhing shadow, which holds us back from the embrace of all good things - things it would like to steal away and keep in a box hung round its thin neck; where it keeps all the things that don't exist. If you never knew that dark thing, you would be free in boldness to walk into each and every glistening moment! "Imagine with me these things, if you dare to explore the depths of your heart; what it is capable of, and discover it here! And glimmering things lie in wait. Bring with you whimsey, with a glimmer in your eye like silver; and feel the beating of your heart like some powerful thing that it is!" End ExcerptComplete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
