Brigitta's adventures continue with THE RUINS OF NOE, which picks up where Book One, BRIGITTA OF THE WHITE FOREST, leaves off. ~ ~ ~ "I don't understand," said Brigitta, and then glanced back down as the baby yawned and opened her eyes. They were crystal white. "She has no destiny."Ondelle reached in, picked the baby up, and cradled it in her arms. "The Ethereals have not visited her." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A child born with no destiny: one of many signs that the White Forest faeries had lost touch with the Ethereals, the Ancient Ones. High Priestess Ondelle is convinced by an old proverb that one faerie is fated to travel to the former home of the Ancients, the Ruins of Noe, to find the answer. That faerie, she believes, is Brigitta. Ondelle and Brigitta set off to save their forest once again, but when they arrive in Noe they discover something they never learned from any faerie tale. Why had this dark secret been kept from them? Why in the name of Faweh had the Ancients left some faeries behind?

Telling Tales: The Clarion West 30th Anniversary Anthology

Telling Tales showcases 16 stories by award-winning and highly acclaimed alumni of the Clarion West Writers Program in Seattle, Washington. Edited by Ellen Datlow, this anthology contains a mixture of science fiction, fantasy, and horror from writers who have impacted the field of speculative fiction. Each story is accompanied by an afterword by an instructor from that writer's year at Clarion West.

A Christmas party in zero gee; ten fancy men leaping through a cattle drive camp; a dancer at the end of the world-these are not your typical Christmas images, just as these are not your usual takes on the twelve days of Christmas. Sandra Odell brings an edgier, more fantastical approach to the holiday season, reimagining the classic song in her own way.

Briggy, what happens when the Hourglass runs out?
Brigitta wished she had paid more attention to her Auntie Ferna's lessons. Being able to string a thunder-bug symphony wasn't going to help them now. She didn't know exactly what would happen when the Hourglass ran out, since no living faerie knew a time when the Hourglass didn't protect the forest . . . But even though she couldn't remember the details, she did know that without the Hourglass there would be no White Forest . . . 
A charming middle-grade fantasy series, "Faerie Tales from the White Forest" watches the journey of young Brigitta of the White Forest as she has to save her beloved people from a spell that has turned everyone to stone.

Brigitta of the White Forest: Faerie Tales from the White Forest Book One

You cannot presume what our departed High Priestess would say or do at a time like this.Yes, I can! cried Brigitta ... I can, I can. I carry her here. Brigitta pounded on her chest. She burst into sobs, and Elder Dervia wrapped her arms around her, pulling her into her bosom.Thanks to Ondelle s parting gift, Brigitta is now a rare deodyte, a faerie bound by two elements. But she has little energy to explore, let alone enjoy, her new air element, as she is also now haunted by the memories of her dead High Priestess. When she tries to learn more from the Air Faeries, she is met with suspicion. When she reveals her distress to the Council of Elders, they dismiss her from her Apprentice duties. And when the memories that plague her convince her she must seek an audience with the Eternal Dragon to reconnect her forest with the Ancients, she knows she must leave her home once again.Driven by what she knows she must do, Brigitta steals the High Priest s scepter and, along with the help of Jarlath and Minq, makes her way to Forever Beach. The problem: someone else has gotten there first, and the Ancients are now under his command.
