Travel Light—with a Book!



Books are the best vacation. They take you WHERE and WHEN you want to go. Add a great big hunky WHO to that, and you’re ready to fly. Got an urge to visit Scotland? No problem. Aching to see what it was like five hundred years ago? Climb aboard. Feeling giddy at the mention of magic spells and kilts? Have at it! Books can be found to satisfy all wondering and wandering souls.

One of the greatest rewards of reading Fantasy Romance is the freedom to explore various places, times, and mythological characters—and still bask in a happy ending. Here are a few WHERE, WHEN, and WHO fun facts from my Wytchfae Series of interconnecting standalone books.

WHERE

The Beaches and Graveyards of Contemporary Florida


Wytchfae stories often begin in the sunshine state. New Smyrna Beach serves as the beautiful blue backdrop for Kelly’s ghostly transitions in Wytchfae Runes. Her favorite spirit by far is Ingvar the Viking.


Under the Sea

Samael reigns there in Guardian of the Deep, and Layla is thrilled to linger in his submerged palace as well—until the demons close in.


Underworld

Among the dark and winding tunnels, readers visit the somber abode of the zombie-like Grims and everyone’s favorite (not!) resting place, ruled by the goddess Helle.

WHEN



712 AD - Norway



Ingvar shows Kelly his Viking birthplace in Wytchfae Runes. She feels quite at home until three thugs and an evil sorcerer appear on the scene.


Medieval times – England


In Lord of Fire, Garnet may have enjoyed her visit to the Middle Ages, if those pesky townspeople hadn’t branded her a witch.


1920s - Florida

A spell tosses the goddess Epona back in time to a mobster’s speakeasy in Mind Your Goddess. Jazz and gin serve as cover while she searches to regain her powers. A goddess makes a heavenly flapper!

WHO


Aedar – Remember the part above about “big hunky”? As an Irish, leather-clad warrior, Aedar stirs the wytchfae Seraphina’s blood in Time Singer.


Gabriel – As a banished elemental angel, Lord of Fire’s Gabriel is a brooding loner until he meets his match in the fiery wytchfae, Garnet.


Eshigel – Passionate dark guardian of the desolate portal that separates worlds, in Mind Your Goddess he would give his domain and his soul for the goddess Epona. In fact, he has.
Take a vacation while traveling light! Choose your own WHERE, WHEN, and WHO through books. If Fantasy Romance is among your fancies, feel free to browse the titles in the Wytchfae Series.

As always, thanks for reading!
