Life is a series of seasons and Aynsley’s time with the Gibsons is coming to an end. In this inescapable transition, Anysley begins to feel the pressure of age. All her chipped edges and weathered paint make her feel inadequate and unwanted. But just when one door closes, she is thrust through another in a way she never expected.

There was nothing he could do but listen to the cries of war and watch as the surface of the land turned red. Kieran’s finger trailed to the past, then back to the future. If life could always be divvied up between three doors, making decisions would come easier; or so he thought.

Riddled with grief, Kieran abandoned his post to go where no man ought to go. He sought out the forest witch, desperate to end the war. He was given three choices; persevere in the present, observe the future, or change the past. But if he failed Vega's test through time, there might not be a world left for him to go.

The Sun and the Moon is a practice piece created by a writer's restless fingers.

Under the Willow is a short-story set in the world of Katelyn’s upcoming novel, “King’s and Kingdoms.”

In a time of uncertainty and war, Under the Willow follows Igor, a Heridian slave who works in the palace of the Asurian King. His tale is only one of the thousands of Heridians that refuse to let go of hope; hope of a new future, a land without borders… hope of freedom.
