Reader, writer, wife, mother, animal lover, treehugger Querying my novel, The Seeker's Charm, an origin tale for the Fae, told through a romantasy between halfblood farmgirl Rose Woodman and Eeden leader of the Faerie clan of the Stars.
Piggybacking on this post to recommend this most wonderful book: #fairytaletuesday #booksky #books #bookrec
Being bookish, I'm adding a book rec to this week's #TreeTrunkTuesday. An absolute MUST for any tree lover. Wohlleben's chatty writing style makes the AMAZING science easy to read.
#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Fae #Fantasy My only use of double is with the delightfully chatty, Martha, from whom Rose learns lots of things her family would rather she didn't know.
But the suit is so much better than the dreaded cone. Pixie is such a cute name and she looks like she could be my Finn's sister!
#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #Fae Got lots of knocked arrows...so posting two ways today.
I live one block from the expressway of one of the top 10 largest cities in the US and I got a tiny black frog in my compost pile. Where did he come from? How did he get here? But he sang and then there were two! A simple bowl of water led to....
Being that today's #WIPsnip is fox (thank you, @rosie-j-potter.bsky.social ) I wanted to let any #Fox fan know of this book...it's wonderful on so many levels, the nature/animal bit (obviously) and the memoir of a very unique and interesting person.
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Fantasy went a bit long today, but had to set the scene... those sneaky Fae and Rose's hubris: a dangerous mix
Some weeks ago, I completed a Barnes&Noble, Great American Novels puzzle and decided to read the ones I hadn't. Just finished this one. A true classic, feels as timely today as when it was written over 25 years ago. She began as a poet and it shows-each "chapter" is precise and vivid.
#WIPSnip #WriteSky #Fantasy #WritingCommunity Meet Sylvie, Head of the House of Healing, and the last of the Clan of the Trees.
My beautiful, spicy fur boy. Went over the rainbow bridge 3 years ago. I miss him every day. This is his Winston Churchill impersonation.
#WIPSnips #Writesky #Fantasy #WritingCommunity Jasper, the woodsprite, giving Rose a little bit more of Eedan's backstory (Maressa and Marke were his parents)
#BirdoftheDay #StaringRightatYou And yes, that is the shower window in Belize-pervy little guy!
#WIPSnip #WriteSky #WritingCommunity Intro to Jonathon's POV and some foreshadowing of his future. And the question- is he enchanted? Does Rose do it without realizing it? Can she help it? Also, a hint to the reader of which Clan Rose's father was from.
#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #Nature Eeden explaining one of the themes of my novel-that the Fae's "magic" comes in part from their long lives spent in affinity with nature and choosing to study and honor it. (Jasper is a wood sprite)
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity I went a bit longer this time...(note Rose's mother was Lillie)
