BEFORE IT COMES DOWN SHADOW RITE
The Queen’s Fayte, Book 3
Chapter One
Fingernails tapped the armrest of an alabaster throne as a pair of unflinching sapphire eyes tore through me. Such a beautiful face, a timeless face, yet that stare paralyzed me. Who was this woman?
Not an earthly woman, of that I was sure. No human had flesh so smooth or so pale it shimmered with its own strange incandescence. A moment shook loose from my hazy memory3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postHello! It’s a gray, drizzly day here at Croix Manor, so before I head into the writing room, I’m making myself a big pot of tea. Since I have some fresh basil on hand, I’m also putting together a plate of the tea sandwiches Jane dreamed up in SLIVERING CURSE. It’s a recipe I shared with the Readers Brigade awhile back. If you’re a tea sandwich fan or a sandwich fan of any stripe, you might like to give it a try.
Enjoy!

Blog postToday, I was supposed to board a plane to Scotland. It was a return trip my family had been dreaming about for years and planning for nearly as long. A few days in Edinburgh, another few around Stirling then Balmoral Castle, more near Fort William and Achnacarry for our beloved Clan Cameron gathering, then some time in Glasgow before returning to Edinburgh for a flight back to the States.
It would have been so grand…
Yet, the world and the coronavirus had other plans. I’m disa8 months ago Read more -

Blog postOn a summer day a few years ago, my daughter received a small fairy figurine as a gift and wanted the little lass to have her own place in the courtyard, which is where we grow a few finicky fruit trees, an aggressive grapevine, and some rosemary, mint, and other assorted herbs.
It seemed like a reasonable request, so we found an adorable little fairy house at the craft store and placed it and the fairy in a shady little nook.
Do you think that was the end of it? Oh, no.

Blog postHello! If you’re here, you must have seen my story in The Queen’s Fayte Brigade letter about my family breaking the monotony of our quarantine nights by taking a virtual trip to Disneyland Paris.
As I mentioned in the letter, we love our trips to Disneyland, and we’ve been missing the park terribly while it’s shut down. Since we can’t go, I thought I’d put together a YouTube playlist of some of ride-throughs of our favorite rides. But then I got a better idea… If we’re going to visit11 months ago Read more -

A Fayte Guardian with secrets. A dark fae craves her power. Only one will survive their battle of wits, wile, and magic.
After rescuing Queen Victoria from an otherworldly enemy, Jane has settled comfortably into her new life as a Fayte Guardian, working as a maid in the royal kitchen while standing ready to protect the sovereign from any worldly--and otherworldly--threats. She finally has friends, a purpose, and a promising romance. But when she visits Balmoral Castle in Scotland's misty hills, she discovers the battle she thought she won isn't over at all.
Something evil lurks in the heart of the Fayte stronghold, and when she investigates, she's drawn into a conspiracy that threatens everyone and everything she holds dear. Left wounded and on the run, she doesn't know who she can trust--old friends, new friends, even her peculiar dragonfly friend.
To find the strength to fight an enemy that knows her better than she knows herself, Jane must master new supernatural powers and dig into the past she can't remember for answers to questions she doesn't want to face.
Can Jane defeat the Fayte Guardians' most dangerous foe before he destroys her, the Queen, and the Order itself?'
