She was torn between wanting to stay home with her family and being forced to go to work, even if she just did secretarial tasks, and it felt as if she had never woken from that surgery but somehow slipped into a Twilight Zone reality.As she tried to hold onto the world now in upheaval around her with such uncertainty and fear, she turned to poetry, releasing everything once again that she held inside, and two years later, she decided to take those poems and put them into a book called, This Will Remain With Us.

After forging the great Peace of Aerthe, Kelvaar only wanted to be left alone. The discovery of a dark and forbidden magic, long ago stored away in a secret journal, would frustrate those wishes. Kelvaar must find the journal and destroy it before Kindred, or Men, succeeded in summoning one of the Fallen into Aerthe-a fate which his master assured him would occur. As Kelvaar raced to see it done, he happened upon the Seer's artifact, her gift to one of the Kindred houses. The Seer's Grant was sought by others for dark purposes, something worse than the Fallen trying to get into Aerthe. His master commands that this must be prevented, and the journal retrieved... at whatever cost.

Long, Shaelynn

Hekate, the Goddess of Magic, has called all heroes and heroines with a pen. 
In the ancient age, a carnation with petals of rich color was found in Greece. The botanist who discovered it was so taken with it that he called it Dianthus—The Flower of the Gods. The flower of the divine. 
In the modern age, an old temple has been found deep in the wilds of Greece. The only one of its kind. It holds a sacred text blessed and protected by the seven goddesses: Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Athena, Artemis, Persephone, and Aphrodite. Within this text are poems, essays, and short stories of divinity. 
It is called The Carnation Collection. 
The authors who contributed were asked one question: Who are you? 
They have shared their inner hearts, their inner worlds. They have shared the song their souls sing, beyond all doubt, insecurity, or judgment. And they have entrusted their sacred truth with a goddess of their choosing. 
It is well-known that these goddesses are incredibly human in their divinity. However, they also know that you are incredibly divine in your humanity. They have loved, just as you have loved. They have grieved, just as you have grieved. So, they offer the carnation as a promise: 
Your truth is safe with us.
