PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Lynne Shaner has been captivated by fantasy, myth, and fairytales since childhood, when her mother first read Charlotte's Web and The Wind in the Willows to her. She lives in a village in Wisconsin, close enough to Lake Michigan to walk to the shoreline every day. Shelves overflowing with books line her home, and there is always a knitting project on her needles. She lives with her husband, and Merlin, her small, adorable pup. When not writing, she can be found reading and knitting in her garden, when she grows herbs and flowers and story ideas. This is her first novel.
"""A beautifully engaging fantasy teeming with dragons, fae, magic, and the importance of family and friendship. A joy to read from beginning to end!"" -Julie Boglisch, author of the Elifer Chronicles, the Requiem of Stones series ""I want a pocket fairy! And a scrying stone, and a grove of flutewood trees, and all the other tools and abilities that the mages here have at their command.What a wonderful-and credible-world Lynne Shaner has created!"" -Patricia Skalka, author of the Dave Cubiak Door County mysteries ""For those of us forced to accept that our Hogwarts letter is sadly never going to arrive, Lynne Shaner's new book, Journey to Everland Bay, is an opportunity to find magic in the everyday world again."" -Carrie Newberry, author of Pick Your Teeth with my Bones ""Magic appears, weaving in and out of characters and settings with astonishing ease, taking readers along for the ride."" -Mary Ann Noe, author of Water the Color of Slate ""Journey to Everland Bay weaves the contemporary world into a magical world with originality and urgency. It is like a battle between fast moving steel and slowly falling rose petals, never forgetting the cost of progress or what true destruction looks like. It is iridescent at its core, a shimmering and ethereal reminder that sometimes, the old ways are best."" -Del Blackwater, author of Dead Egyptians"
