The Bridge Between Yesterday and Tomorrow

by Lisa Veldkamp

"Hello human child. My name is Eydis. I'm a troll-girl who's in big trouble. You see, I've fallen for one of your kind. A human boy. Talib. He's just so nice - I can't stay away from him. If my father finds out though, I don't know what will happen. Humans are not supposed to know we exist and I just broke the rules. Oh, did I mention he's also the king and I'm heir to the throne? Yes - like I said. Big trouble."

Deep in the woods, below the rocks and in the caves, there lies a world unknown to us. They are part of our stories though. Part of our heritage, our legends and myths. Trolls. However, they might not be what you expect them to be. What if you meet one of them? Would you believe your eyes? Would you be brave enough to follow them? To go on an adventure?

As an added bonus, The Bridge Between Yesterday and Tomorrow also includes another little Yule story, Midwinter under the Bridge.

The Bridge Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is also featured in the anthology by the Awethors, Awethology Light.
Midwinter under the Bridge is also featured in The December Awethology Light by the Awethors. Both available from Amazon..

About the author

Lisa is the author of the poetry collections Nothing is Forgotten, When Words Start To Sing, Magical Beasts & Creatures and she is the author of The Fire Trilogy. The Elemental (book I) was her first full-length novel. She has a background in social services and music, but writing has always been a part of her daily life. One night she dreamed the outlines of The Elemental and took it as a sign from the Universe to pursue a career in writing. She has stated in several interviews that the lyrics of British rockband Placebo were her source of inspiration for the entire trilogy.

She grew up in a small town in the Netherlands where her parents always taught her to think outside the box. She has a degree in social studies and joined the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids as an adult.

Lisa loves London, according to her ‘the city where magic dwells’ and can often be found there. She still resides in the Netherlands however with her partner and their dog Miss Ginger Rogers and if you’re lucky, you may find her in her favourite coffeehouse, Barista cafe.
