Which is exactly what I did this New Year’s Day. I spent some time in the garden and some time straightening up the house and doing some cooking. I also spent a little time drawing. But more importantly, to my mind at least, I was able to daydream a bit and get some words down on paper. Here’s to hoping this year continues as it began. How did you spend your New Year’s day?

And it has gryphons! Sort of. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean. I thought this story was a wonderfully creative reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin. I loved the world it was set in and the little touches that made it feel so real. It was also ...more |

| Just as in the first book, I loved how the fairies were portrayed. The glimpses into the fae courts’ motivations and machinations were intriguing and kept me engaged with the story—that, and the growing fondness I had for some of the characters. I a ...more | |

| The unique feeling of this book was what first drew me in. It brought to mind the old cautionary tales about dealing with the fair folk, but told in the more modern viewpoint of a mortal living through it. Starting first with MacKenna, who I am sorry ...more | |

“Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it.”

“Damen said, with helpless honesty, "Laurent, I am your slave."
The words laid him open, truth exposed in the space between them. He wanted to prove it, as though, inarticulate, he could make up for what divided them. He was aware of the shallowness of Laurent's breath, it matched his own; they were breathing each other's air.
He reached out, watching for any hesitation in Laurent's eyes. The touch he offered was accepted as it had not been last time, fingers gentle on Laurent's jaw, thumb passing over his cheekbone, soft. Laurent's controlled body was hard with tension, his rapid pulse urgent for flight, but he closed his eyes in the last seconds before it happened. Damen's palm slid over Laurent's warm nape; slowly, very slowly, making his height an offering, not a threat, Damen leaned in and kissed Laurent on the mouth.
The kiss was barely a suggestion of itself, with no yielding of the rigidity in Laurent, but the first kiss became a second, after a fraction of parting in which Damen felt the flicker of Laurent's shallow breathing against his own lips.
It felt, in all the lies between them, as if this was the only true thing. It didn't matter that he was leaving tomorrow. He felt remade with the desire to give Laurent this: to give him all he would allow, and to ask for nothing, this careful threshold something to be savoured because it was all Laurent would let himself have.”
