EXCERPT:

From Heart of Stone:

Leesa headed up the stairs and stopped at the 2nd floor landing. Eduardo and Erokan's rooms had been on this floor. Dust was everywhere, but otherwise the furnishings were just as they'd been left. Varmont's bedroom, private study and library were on the 3rd floor. Most likely he would've hidden some of his valuables there. She went upstairs to check. The doors to the Duke's room, study and library were open. But the fourth door was closed. The treasure room, perhaps?

She opened the door and stepped inside. Strangely, this room wasn't as dusty as the others. The air was heavy with perfume. Across from the door was a folding screen decorated with blue and yellow flowers. Behind it she could make out the base of a claw-foot tub.

To her surprise, the entire room had a feminine feeling, from the huge bed covered with blush pink coverlets and plush furs to the gold-trimmed white furniture. Even the jewel-encrusted skylight above her had its own beauty, reflecting colorful sprinkles of light over the pale stone walls.

A white cabinet with glass doors caught her attention. The shelves held glass bottles of different shapes and sizes. Some had liquids inside, others were empty. What were these? Perfumes? Or maybe potions.

The Duke used magic. Maybe this was where he'd kept his enchantments. Would they be worth anything? Possibly. But just as Leesa reached out to open the cabinet, the door slammed behind her.

Startled, she spun around. She was alone. Who had closed it? Leesa ran to the door and gripped the handle, expecting the door to open as easily as it had when she'd come in. But it didn't. She pulled and banged on it, but it wouldn't budge.

She was locked in.

GUEST POST:

- What Paranormal Creature Would You Like to Be?

What I enjoy about writing fantasy stories is that you can set them anywhere, at any time. You can create worlds from your imagination – and create your own rules for them. But even better, you can create magical creatures to be in those worlds. That's where the fun begins.

If I could choose a paranormal creature to be, I'd love to be an elemental. Depending on the mythology you're familiar with, there might be many definitions for what makes a creature elemental. But in my story, Once Upon A Princess: Land of Dreams, I created a shapeshifter who discovers he's been turned into an elemental. Air is his element, and he develops powers to use it in various ways. By chance he's drawn to another elemental character and finds that her abilities correspond with his.

I think that being able to use the elements could be fun or could be a bit scary! Imagine having the ability to control a waterfall or take charge of the wind. Of course, I wouldn't want to do anything too major – I think I'd have to be careful in how I used my powers. That's why I say the fun begins when you write about the beings in your fantasy world. You can experience the powers and abilities of all the paranormal creatures you create. And when the story is finished, you can begin a new one!
