Words from my WIP : The Enchanted Swans

Words from my WIP: ‪#‎TheEnchantedSwans‬ ‪#‎ChildrenofLir‬‪#‎historicalfantasy‬ ‪#‎ireland‬

Aed was helping Aoife eat her morning porridge when Father appeared in the doorway. He stood still, watching his wife being fed by his son. He closed his eyes for several seconds before opening them and walking to his chair.

Before sitting, he gripped the back and said, “Is she well, Nuala? Is she healed?”

“Well enough, Father, as you can see. Can you not ask her yourself?”

He scowled at me for my cheek and turned to Aoife. “How are you, wife?”

Aoife swallowed, and looked up at him. “Those are the first words you’ve said to me in a year, and you cannot even say my name?”

Father turned pale and I saw the muscles of his jaw clench, but he did not let fly the angry retort I saw in his eyes.

“I am well enough, husband.” She looked back at her porridge and took the spoon from Aed. She slowly took her own bite of the porridge and looked back at Father, as if daring him to say something.

Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
