A Crone's Query


Blurb:
A tale of two Tristans with everything to lose and even more to gain.

When young Tristan wanders off into the woods, he meets a vicious Bean Nighe who has a proposition for him. He must answer her query correctly or lose his head.

Tristan Gippeswich is dying, betrayed by his king. He meets the most beguiling woman, but can he hold onto her?

Excerpt:

Summer of 1647
Woods near Castle Lachlan , Scotland

“Ah, I thought I heard someone comin’ up me path,” an old woman called over her shoulder.
Gnarled hands lifted a soiled linen garment from the waters of the brook. Water dripped red beneath her fingers as she tried to wash away the blood. She stood before the fjord, a basket at her feet. Gray hair, long and coarse, sat high atop her head in a loose bun. Her back hunched beneath her faded moss green gown and looked painful in its disfigurement.


Tristan stopped cold in mid-step.


“Come ‘n’ sit, child.” The crone beckoned him with her crooked finger.


He did as she bade. No mere human could outrun magic, and he wasn’t stupid enough to try. Thus, he sat down on a stump an arm’s length away from her basket of soiled clothes.
The coppery scent of blood hit his nostrils and filled his lungs. Bile rose in his throat. He gagged on the rising vomit, and his stomach revolted. Fear cemented him in place. He raised his sleeve to his face to lessen the stench.


The crone laughed, draped the wet garment over a tree branch, and shook the water from her hands. She turned around and squinted at him. Her shrewd gaze roamed over him before she hobbled to another tree stump that he would swear appeared out of nowhere.


The Bean Nighe sat down on the stump, her knees cracking with age. A sigh escaped her elderly lips. “Tis much better to sit.”


Only one tooth remained in her mouth. It jutted outward from her lower jaw. He caught her disapproving eye and realized he stared.


“Tell me, lad, what do they call ye?”


He lowered his sleeve from his face. “Tristan.”


“Tristan? Tristan. Oh, known many a Tristans, I have.”


She said ‘known’ and not knew.


The crone crossed her arms over her chest and eyed him once more. Her speculative gaze made him sit up straighter. “Do ye fear me, boy?”


He debated on his answer for a moment and wondered if her question could be a trick. If he said no, would she turn him into a newt?
“Yes,” he said, his voice weak, honest.


“Good, ye should be afeared, laddie. Carelessness walkin’ about the woods not mindin’ where ye get yerself off to. A lad could lose his head doin’ such foolery.”


His stomach fell between his knees at her insinuation, and he gulped audibly.


“Tristan, let me tell ye a tale.” She paused for a long moment. Her speculative gaze narrowed on him, and he squirmed. “After me tale is done, all ye need do is answer one question and ye can go.”


“With my head?”


“With yer head.” She pointed a crooked finger and added, “If ye answer correctly.”

30 Days of Sweat

30 Days of Sweat

1000 words a day everyday for the month of January.


Well it’s time for me to get back on track and write regularly. My baby is here, and I have no more excuses, but plenty of deadlines piling up in my near future. To make this work as a career, you have to do two things. Write regularly, and promote what you write. If you are missing one or both parts of the formula, your sales are going to suffer, and you will never get better. Craft is perfected by practice..

There are always reasons to put it off, family should come first. Then you have to prioritize. Money second or third depending—but if you’re writing to get rich—Ahem—you may be in the wrong field. This year we had a lot of setbacks personally, my husband went blind in his right eye, and had multiple complications like glaucoma and extremely painful migraines. I had gotten pregnant as well, and now have a newborn to care for. We had to replace the drainage pipes under the bathroom floor. I didn’t write much of anything. Most of my published books had been written the year before. My time, energy, and pocketbook has been drained, but I will always come back to my first love of writing despite the barriers.

I need to set some achievable goals to get my writing all done. So, for the month of January, I plan to make it a month where I write everyday. 1000 words a day will be enough to finish a novella—and more than enough to get my two major projects done.

Paris Bites rewrite ending lost on computer--20,000 words
Untitled (my first m/m story)—10,000 words

Some people are already doing great, writing 10 pages or more everyday. Others, may be lucky to write that in a month. You may set your goal higher or shorter. This is my goal, because I feel it’s the right amount and that my family won’t suffer for 4-5 pages a day. Fellow authors, please feel free to join me if you can. Tell me what you are working on and post how much you were able to write today. Being accountable to someone will help motivate you (and me).

I plan to post all the updates to my yahoo loop. So join me here:

I have 5 publishing houses already and have about 10 more I'm waiting to hear from. I have also started a research file for links on the web to help us with research while writing your stories.

Worth the Wait by Jennifer Hart

Marley Gunderson is a sucker for hard luck cases. She votes independent, hires the local pothead with potential to DJ her class reunion, and pines for the boy she couldn't save.

William Patterson isn't interested in Marley's pity but her soft heart. Sexy and standoffish, Will's path has turned a carefree boy into a deeply troubled man with a serious helping of tragedy in his rucksack. The last thing he wants is to drag Marley into his personal cesspool, but the spark of teenage lust he felt for her blossoms into a raging inferno. Even the snarky voice of his dead friend, who resides in Will's own mind, isn't much of a deterrent for a few nights of solace spent in Marley's arms. But can he walk away again for her sake?

News, releases, and reviews

What's cooking at Freya's Bower? A lot. We've changed servers, changed our site, and changed many of our prices. You'll find the site faster, easier to navigate, and simply wonderful. As we just shifted this weekend, there are still some pages (but not books) not available yet. Pardon us while we work. Everything should be back to normal within two weeks. In the meantime, enjoy the new releases, reviews, and all everything else.

Freya's Bower would like to congratulate V. Artemis Reid and D.N. Lyons for their new releases and Zinnia Hope and Tess MacKall for their great reviews.
