The Fantastical, Aerial, International, Reasonably Inconspicuous, Emancipation Squads are in need of a fresh recruit.
They decide to try a new recipe:
Ingredients for a Chosen F.A.I.R.I.E. Squadmember:
Take one spoiled and bitter twelve-year-old, have her run away after being teased by her three older sisters, mix with various fantastical beings that worship the Light of the One true God, throw in a few Dragons, pinch in some evil Imps and have a Witch who serves the Dark One stir it all up, roll in a quest to free beings that are enslaved in Darkness, bake in a fiery battle with spiritual hosts of wickedness, and the twelve-year-old might just learn how to use the full armor of the Light to turn her selfishness into love.
THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN...

A little, but I'm not much of a fiction reader :-) Good luck, though!
Well, I don't know...I'd probably need to read the rest of it...Oh, yea....I did.....IT'S GREAT! I hope God blesses you richly through it.
Awesome! It sounds VERY interesting! I hope you will post more as you go along! Thanks for visiting my blog, btw.
:0)
Yeah it does grab me, particularly the juxtaposition of the One God with the dragons and supernatural.
It's the first for me to read a story that merges both the supernatural and God at the same time. It's interesting..
Keep writing, I want to read more..!
Thanks Bonnie, you know I love ya.
Jennifer and May, I've actually written the entire book and am praying that I will get a publisher for it soon!
Nettie, I'm so glad it grabs you! I wrote it not only for evangelism but for entertainment for people who are already Christians!
hi marianne. thanks for dropping by my site and for leaving a comment.
sounds interesting! i'll definitely be coming back to visit again.
God bless.
Pia~ Glad you like the idea. I've had a blast with it. Stop by anytime...we're always open.
hi! thanks for visiting! great premise! will come back to check on your progress. :)
Thanks for stopping by my site. I hope to write books one day, too. I have my BSJ and write for Charisma magazine now. So cool to meet another writer in the blogosphere. My family and I are about to relocate to NC..what part r u in? We will be in Charlotte.
Hey!
We are hoping to be there by November. I can't wait to get there. It is so pretty. We visited about a month ago and fell in love with the area.
Thanks ribbiticus and faith in florida! I'm still waiting on the publishers. But I have a list of more that I need to send out my proposal too. Only time will tell~ God's time, that is.
Better safe than sorry~ What a bummer, I can't be sane without reading books. Hope you get more free time; maybe your kids will like it? It is really written for middle school and young adult but I've had adults say they enjoy it too.
I read about your book on Jennifer's comments and thought I'd stop by. I'm reading the 5th of the Narnia Chronicals to my 8 and 9 year olds. They love fantasy fiction. It grabbed me!
Julie
Thanks Julie...that is just what I need to hear! I'm excited about the whole venture and pray that I will hear soon from a publisher.
I never read fiction, but the book sounds like something that will certainly peak the interest of those who do. Best of luck with the book. I see Nettie is up there, I knew it would appeal to her.
darlene~thanks for stopping by the blog. You have a terrific blog...I always learn something new and fun.
Sign me up in advance. Can I get an autograph?
Well fred, I do believe you have made my entire month! I'll reserve a signed copy for you bud! You're awesome.
It sounds like it will be good and keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat waiting to see what happens...hope you get it published.
I've been trying to work on some short stories (don't have a lot of time now that school is back in session again), and have some thoughts for novels as well. I did get a bit of a novel started in August though. I want to write for the Lord as well.
It sparks an interest, but not being much of a fiction reader it was somewhat confusing only because this is my first visit. Tks for visiting me, I truly appreciate it and your welcome anytime to return.
Perhaps I feel at the moment torn, because I just left a Christian's site from someone that is still suffering deeply from a childhood of things that not many of us can relate to ever or experienced. Right now that is still very fresh and will be on my mind. I pray for her and I realize we do have a spiritual war going on around us. I thank God for saving me and forgiving us. I think I need to go and find site that may have a prayer list on it...that is where my mind is at this moment for this very special person that is suffering right now...from all the wrong ingredients of evil things from a childhood. Hopefully my response was not a huge bummer for what you were hoping for as far as interest. Take care and wishing you to be Blessed in your goals.
shelly~ hope you'll get published as well!
suzie~ try http://laylasprayerneeds.blogspot.com/2006/12/prayer-needs.html#comments It is a great prayer requests site.
It sounds like a good read is it published?
Not yet pirate, but I'm praying it will be someday soon! I have a proposal into three publishers right now and have a dozen or so more I need to send it to.
This sounds really interesting to me!
running2ks~ THANKS! I've really had oodles of fun with it.
i sent your site to one of my 14 year old cousins (who is a reader) to see what she thinks ... :o) ... hope you find a publisher soon! Lord bless ya!
Sounds very promising, Marianne.
have you checked out http://christianfiction.blogspot.com/ ... seems like there is a contest going on there you might find of interesting ... :o)
Saija~ Thanks! Hope your cousin will stop by and say hi as she reads! Thanks also for the tip. Yeah, I've been to that blog. They've a wonderful set up don't they?
Jean-Luc~ Thank you oh Captain my Captain! I just love your blog.
I love your comments of my '20 Random Facts'!
Thanks Jean-Luc...your tag was just way too funny for me! I laughed and laughed...what a creative guy!
Sounds like fun! I love allegories--Chronicles of Narnia were my favorite. And I like Anne McCaffrey. So would probably like this!
Cheryl~ Thanks! Hopefully it will be published someday! I love Anne McCaffrey too! The Dragon Riders of Pern is the BEST!
I definately want to buy a copy for my kids.
An Ordinary Christian~ Thanks! I so needed to hear that today...waiting on responses from publishers gets tiresome and leads to self-doubt. I've been trying to occupy myself with sending out proposals to new publishers, thinking about the next book (which has a good start thusfar), and blogging.
Hey Bean! I'm so glad that you're interested. Let me know what you think. I actually should repost these chapters as I've made a few changes. They are slight however, so it doesn't change the story-line.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Great work with F.A.I.R.I.E.S., keep it up!
qmgmquor: is it me, or are these verifications getting tougher?
nice one. thanks and God bless
Oops, haven't been by here for a while...
Bean~ Can't wait to see what you think of Part Two
Dana~ Thanks! Your blog is really fun too.
Jeff~ Hello. I'll stop by your blog soon. Welcome!
Found your blog via Nick's. Very creative stuff.
Tracking back, lol. Thanks for visiting me!
I have an interest in unusual things, which is why I found my way to this blog, but you need to contact one of my Freya's Bower.com editors. Her name's Faith. She's big into Faerie Lore. www.bicknell-brown.blogspot.com
Het there. Yes, I research faerie lore. Minister's dau too, lol.
Wildchildpublishing.com, one of the divisions I manage is looking for subs.
Donny and Aurora~ Thanks for your encouragement!
Zinnia~ You're awesome! Thank you for a new pal!
Faith~ As I just said on your blog, I'll go there directly! Thanks!
RYQ: Inspirational is fine. If it's preachy or churchy, then it's not for us.
Darn. I love things with faeries, etc. Good luck!!!
Thanks Faith! I'll be sure to add you to my links on the Pixie blog. You are a sweetheart!
Thanks Karen. You are so sweet. God bless you, too!
I love your fairies! Good luck with placing your book--you have a really compelling story. And you know, the world can't have too many good faery tales!
