A.S.R. Gelpi was writing fantasy stories since twelve (mainly to entertain friends and scare teachers) but put her writing aside to pursue her academic dreams, including a Ph.D. But she's back, better than ever, putting her love of literature and her lifelong passion for fantasy into creating the worlds where "The Dandelion Chronicles" stories take place. With her love of the fantastic shining through in her work, she has created complex characters, worlds with depth and lore, and stories that grab readers and don’t let go. She hopes to inspire a new generation of fantasy lovers with her unique and realistic epic fantasy stories.

Sadly, there are very few records past 1695 for them (destroyed by fires and pirates), which means that the imagination would have to take over after extensive research (which I've done).

But when I got there, my laptop and essay were missing from my backpack, replaced by a note from Betsy that read, "I hope you fail this class."(less)

This is one of those rare books where the blurb delivers exactly what it promises. Snake-Eater is a haunting, hilarious, and heartfelt descent into the desert—one readers will not soon forget (and will likely reread).

Dragon Heart (An Ode to Kai) is pure magic. I picked it up for my school kids, and they were swept away. The poetic format is lyrical and engaging—reading it aloud felt like singing a story. Koa and Kai’s journey through the enchanted ca

Was it a cozy magical realism or romantasy story?

“Watching a tree is not enough to make one a gardener,” Hillal said. “The work needed to grow one is the training: tending to the seeds, the roots, watering, pruning, harvesting its fruit. Even making a hole in the ground is gardening, for the soil must be right. Spiritual growth is similar. It is not simply about the location where one trains. The physical roads and the challenges of reaching a destination become part of the exercise.”

“Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone.”
