Highlands Stories

I am Sorcha of the Winter Court. I have been writing since 950 AD. These are those journals. What begins as exile ends as witness. I arrived at a dark stretch of Highland forest in 950 AD with nothing I intended to keep and everything I intended to leave behind. I built a cottage. I watched kingdoms rise and erase everything that came before them. I wrote it down. This is not a history. History is written by the people who won. This is what I saw from the treeline while they were busy winning. Over a thousand years of Highland Scotland told through one voice - the cold, the particular, the precise. Love arrived slowly and without my permission. Loss arrived the same way. Power rewrote itself in every century and called it progress. I noted all of it. I am still writing. These journals begin in 950 AD. They have not ended yet. The Dark Mile Journals is a serialized fantasy told entirely through first person journal entries. New chapters published regularly. Suitable for readers who like their history sharp, their magic older than the stones, and their narrators unreliable only in the ways that matter.

'So, I guess we're stuck on this island together for the next year.' 'Looks like it. And,' he grinned wickedly, his electric blue eyes sparking, 'it appears I'm your boss.' 'I think you'll find the Consultant is my boss.' 'Nah, he's more your boss' boss. You're my bitch for this year.' What the hell?
