Fay's Wish is now in print!

Once that happens, nothing is impossible.
TEASER
As I entered the garden, the smell of succulent roses and jasmine infused me. I continued upon an emerald and ruby path, glinting like a wine-filled goblet. Gliding over pearls and bright quartz, I headed for the waterfalls, the soft lining of moss caressing my feet. My heart faltered. He was human.

Excerpt
“The real world doesn’t follow out-of-date
rules. Where are you from?”
“A place you’ve never heard of. Where rules
of the old still apply. You may not wish to believe it, but I am a Princess and
have more rules to follow than most.”
“A dream Princess, from a dream world,
then. What about then? Or now? Why give me my deepest desire, only to take it
away?”
“That is for the Gods to know and for us to
find out. Just accept this gift for what it is. The last of my people to break
the law of mating with a mortal was punished, and the mate killed.”
“Gods! Mate! As in what we did?”
I could only nod. Who
was he that he would refer to the ‘Gods’ as I had? Was I wrong, was he Fay?
“Are you all right? You seem upset or
scared.”
The tenderness in his voice struck like a
harp string and brought tears to my eyes. “I am fine, but you must understand
we can never go any farther. We must never meet.” I suspected, unless we
accidentally ran into each other on my journey, all this worry meant very
little. But his beliefs still filled me with concern.
“Well, if this is all we can ever have, I
guess we should make the best of it. My name is Kyle.”

Kyle seems practical, a good trait.
ReplyDeleteHi Holly,
DeleteHe is very practical and a tad bit stubborn...
Your excerpt is almost lyrical in its composition.
ReplyDeleteHello Ellen,
DeleteThank you very much!
Really interesting bit here. Is he Fay?
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
DeleteThank you. Even he does not know if he's Fay or not... ;) That is revealed later in the story.
Very nice excerpt! I like Kyle. He seems to know what's what and gets on with it.
ReplyDeleteHello Dee,
DeleteThank you very much! Kyle is one of my favorite characters. :D
Loved the teaser, Dee, beautifully written. Sounds like a lot of conflict in this book.
ReplyDeleteTweeted and shared.
Hello Lyndi,
DeleteThank you very much! Fay's Wish became one of my favorites and the effort put in by Cindy I think has made it shine really well.
What a sad situation for her. But I have the feeling that they will meet again, regardless of the Fay rules.
