Once upon a time, you made me smile,
Sweet words soon turned distant and hostile,
Second choice, the understudy,
Left in the wings to wonder,
Why you played my love?
The play has ended
My story isn’t,
My stranger
Never
Friend

The Author Diaries #1: The Storyteller’s Curse — Exclusive Prologue Reveal
Author’s Note: Dear Readers, Thank you for being here — for reading, subscribing, and stepping back into the world of The Storyteller Chronicles. When I finished Book One, I truly thought the story was done. Silas was defeated. The grimoire was safe. Lauren had saved the day — in two worlds — and her family were reunited.

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.
