This is a fictional tale that mirrors the unfortunate reality of many young people whose home lives are private nightmares. Annabelle's story tenderly acquaints the reader with her lonely struggles while sharing her courage in the face of adversity. Many of the events were taken from the real lives of individuals known by the author.
Annabelle Fancher lives with her mother and her often-absent, alcoholic father. When he is not on the road, his presence at home creates heightened anxiety in his wife and daughter—fear caused by years of abuse. Annabelle copes with her circumstances by escaping into popular fairy tales where she dreams characters to life. When her dreams cross over into waking fantasies, and the ghostly image of a dreamed character appears before her, Annabelle begins a real struggle to separate reality from pretend and sanity from beautiful madness.

“Reality depends a great deal upon one believing what he sees—or seeing what he believes. Either way."
Meet Gavin, a curious young man whose calling it is to guard the gates of his homeland. As a key keeper, Gavin comes across many outsiders whom he creatively steers away from the borders of his magical world: A world where ogres bowl for their dinner. A world where pirates sail the clouds to plunder diamonds from the night sky. A world where bubbleberries make a person burp out loud. It is a place where anything imaginable is commonplace. All the while, the young key keeper finds himself increasingly intrigued by stories of the outside. Snooping about, he is captivated by a dreamer who piques his interest in the ordinary.

An enemy at their heels, a dragon stone portending the queen's demise, and an armada prepared to battle against all odds in hopes of altering the future. Joined by their allies, Captain Derian and his militia escort their queen across the galaxy toward home. An unexpected detour takes them to an advanced world where a quirky king might possess the power to rid them of their enemy for good.
|
Deep within Lacsar Forest inside the black walls of Wanyaka Cave, a childhood ghost story becomes reality. Two evil sisters and their brother, along with a dragon forced to do their bidding, combine efforts to manipulate Queen Eena into freeing them from their eternal prison. It seems she hasn't the power to resist.
|
Queen Eena must thwart the evil plans of two devious immortal sisters who seem to possess the power of mortal manipulation. The closer she gets to fulfilling the final demands of these witches, the more it appears only one way exists to save herself and her world—by doing the inconceivable and agreeing to join the enemy.
|
It is Queen Eena's eighteenth birthday, a celebratory time for the entire world of Moccobatra. Everyone who is anyone will be at Lacsar Castle in attendance. And, as Harrowbethian tradition dictates, the young Queen Eena will announce her decision to marry someone special within the year. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy with her choice of a suitor, especially those who believe there are preferable men more fitted for the calling.
|
The queen of Harrowbeth is determined to set things right, but doing so means breaking a few big rules. Joined by a select group of Harrowbethian militiamen, as well as a handful of Viidun warriors and a few spunky Mishmorat sisters, Queen Eena sets off for Laradine--the home world of the immortals. Things get carried away, plans are drastically altered, and before long Eena starts to wonder how many wrongs it will take to finally set things right.
