I’ve been secretive about my current project, and that’s mostly because it was giving me so much trouble in the beginning. I’m about a third of the way into it, and I feel like the book and I are coming to terms. The things I saw as problems seem to be working themselves out. I don’t have a release date in mind but late fall or early winter seems likely. It’s going to need a lot of edits, but I’m ready to introduce you to Fey Hearted, a twist on the traditional tale of a child stolen by the fey.
Fey Hearted
As a child, Rose is told that the world is full of magic, mythical creatures, and mystery. As an adult, Rose knows that the world suits people who have ordinary hopes and dreams very well, but leaves people like her unsatisfied.
When a Fey takes her through the Slit and into a world she never knew existed, Rose is torn between the life she’s known and the magic from her dreams. The fey give Rose a simple choice: She can spend the rest of her life in the fey world, but there’s a steep cost. She can never see her family again. If Rose is unwilling to stay, she will be returned to the human world with no memory of her night in the land of magic.
Rose accepts the fey’s offer and is introduced to the things she’d dreamed of her entire life. For a time, life finally lives up to her expectations, but when Rose hears that her grandmother is ill, she must find a way back to the human world to say her goodbyes. To see her grandmother, Rose must break the magic holding her in the fey word, find a way though the Slit, and escape the fey who stand in her way.
