Blurb:
Cold,
fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I emerge from
the darkness of
the ship’s interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main
deck. Pulling my dark
pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red tendrils of my
hair. I walk
slowly to the railing overlooking the water.
I catch
my first sight of the Irish coastline; its craggy landscape
makes me shiver in
dread. I find it difficult to imagine now how the Gancanagh
had made this their
home for so long without anyone realizing it. The cold,
moss-covered edifices
practically scream their presence. As I study the shadows
between the
falling-down stone, I imagine creeping shapes of undead
Faeries grasping the
rock, waiting for our ship to draw nearer to their position.
Tipping
my face up, I let the rain wash over me. It bathes away the
frigid sweat of
fear that has broken on my brow. “You don’t know how fiercely
beautiful you
are, do you?” A quiet voice behind me asks, causing me to
stiffen and fix my
eyes on the rocks along the shoreline.Author Bio:
I live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons. My family is very supportive of my writing. When I’m writing, they often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner. They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re real. They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats. They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making. They have learned to accept my “writing uniform” consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants. And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them. In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed.
