by: T. Wallace-Pregent
Meghan sank down to her knees trying desperately to catch her breath. She could see the beast’s eyes glowing in the shadows, its breath the only warmth in the drafty old house. It had been there the entire time that Mam had been in the room, waiting for its chance [...]

EXCERPT TWO: “The Spindler’s Web”
by: T. Wallace-Pregent
He was abnormally quiet. That’s the first thing Brynne noticed about him. The Canticles were a family of six and you had to be loud to be heard. The kitchen, the heart of the Canticle household, was normally booming and bustling with noise: board games being [...]

Novel Excerpt: “Under a Fairy Moon”
by: T. Wallace-Pregent

Writing is sometimes like going to the dentist. It has to be done, it will make you feel better, but its process is painful. Today writing is made particularly painful for me by the fact that I have a wicked witch planning to poison me and two dwarves ready to axe down my front door. [...]

Today it is my great privilege to have breakfast with a fairy princess. It is not as daunting as you might think.

Welcome to Magusville, city-under-the-mountain and jewel of Wizardom. My own journey through Magusville has been at once perilous and fascinating. I have wrestled with witches, explored enchanted castles and argued with testy dragon-familiars. I have even seen the Kuldron mountains riding dragon-back! I hope your journey is equally frightening and amazing.
