Mira Morganstein Queen of the Nearly Dead Fae Officially Launches

MMCover

Welcome!

Every Wednesday we’ll be tagging along with Mira, Changeling, and a host of other Oddities as Mira explores her faerie gift–which happens to be the most awesome ever!

She’s in line to become a new faerie queen.

Of the Nearly Dead Fae.

* glares suspiciously at the zombie horde hiding in her closet *

No, not that kind. Zombies are a purely mortal invention. No, being a Queen of the Nearly Dead Fae doesn’t involve flamethrowers, holding back the faeries, or preventing said faeries from snacking on mortals.

Her job is much more important than that. It involves . . . well, you’ll see beginning on the 20th of May. Join Mira as she learns of her gift, travels to Faerie by Redacted, and attempts to find that tricky balance between choosing her own path and fate.

Mira’s story will be posted every Tuesday beginning on 20 May 2015. (barring the occasional dragon problem). If you’d like to keep up to date, subscribe to this blog (top, right column) and get the updates delivered to your in box.

The Faerie Thief Officially Launches

TFTcover

Welcome!

Beginning next Tuesday (19th of May), we’ll be traveling to the Garden in Faerie where a youngling named Gwyn lives under the iron *cough* thumb of the (faintly Wonderlandian) Ruby Queen.

Here, in the Garden, the flowers tell tales, magic is real, and the Ruby Queen seems determined to squash Gwyn like a bug beneath her heel.

But all is not as lost as it seems.

With the help of her secret friend and her fair weather cousin, Gwyn discovers a talent of her own that might very well provide the means of her escape.

If only she can figure it out before the Ruby Queen and Redacted join forces to keep her imprisoned in the garden forever.

Gwyn’s story will be posted every Tuesday beginning on 19 May 2015. (barring the occasional dragon problem). If you’d like to keep up to date, subscribe to this blog (top, right column) and get the updates delivered to your in box.

Explore new worlds with Kya and Hearthorne!

You can either click the “Come Aboard” link above or here to be taken to the main page. It’s a little bare now, but I’ll be keeping careful record once content is up (next week!). The look of The Curious Leaf page is likely to change in the future, but the content will be the same.

The-Curious-Leaf-An-Adventure-in-Wishing-Curiosities-0-KindleThe Curious Leaf will follow the adventures of Kya and Hearthorne (introduced in their first short story: The Curious Leaf: An Adventure in Wishing. If you’re subscribed to Scribed, you can read it for free. I will also be adding it to our library later this week, so you’ll be able to read it for free here.)

Their first voyage will be to the moon where they meet a very special creature (and sample the finest moon cheese) that sets off a chain of events that will guide their journey onward.

Details of their exploits will be posted every Monday beginning on 18 May 2015. (barring the occasional dragon problem). If you’d like to keep up to date, subscribe to this blog (top, right column) and get the updates delivered to your in box.

Official: The Curious Leaf Has Now Set Sail

CLPheader

Welcome!

After an unexpected invasion of angry garden gnomes and a band of unruly pixies, The Curious Leaf has finally set sail.

So grab your maps, your compasses, a pinch of pixie dust (yes, the pixies might have been justified in being unruly), and anything else you might have handy and come along for the ride.

This week, I’ll be posting the covers for each story. The actual story part of the stories will begin next week (18 May 2015).

The elves are still refining pages and catching gremlins here and there, so * cookies and cupcakes * in advance for your patience. 🙂

I hope you enjoy the adventures that are yet to come!


Welcome–And an Update!

logo

Welcome to The Curious Leaf. We’re so glad you stopped by. 🙂

The Storyteller-in-Chief is still ironing out some gremlins, stoking the dragons, and rounding up the pixies. But soon–soon!–we should be up and running and telling stories.

The Curious Leaf will function as a serialized serial at present. This means that the stories told will all be serials. (Think of a serial installment as an episode of your favorite TV show.) And each episode of the serials will be told over the course of one chapter per week.

The current schedule can be found in the right sidebar:

Monday: The Curious Leaf

Tuesday: The Faerie Thief

Wednesday: Mira Morganstein

Thursday: Secrets of the UnderWhere

As the Time Gnome permits, another story may be added on Fridays. More information on that to come.

Saturdays will be Days of Hodgepodge where anything might happen: book recommendations, visits from fairy tellers, Items of Interest, or perhaps nothing at all.

If you have a book you’d like to recommend or would like to guest blog as a fairy teller (author of fantasy, fairy tales, etc.) or anything else you think might be of interest to the Wonder-Kin*, please Contact Me and let me know!

The Curious Leaf will be up and running in February 2015, so mark your calendars and prepare to be enchanted–shortly. 😀

 

*What exactly is a Wonder-Kin, you ask? A Wonder-Kin is a person who is on a grand adventure to find every sort of Wonder, and is known to be caught by Flights of Fancy and captivated by Wit and Whimsy regularly.

A Wonder-Kin is the most marvelous of creatures who seizes the Extraordinary on a daily basis because they are able to see past the ordinary and the mundane to where the Magic and Mystery await them.

The Wonder-Kin like nothing better than scrumptious words that curl up in odd corners and are always delighted to meet new words. The Wonder-Kin have a special fondness for books and libraries, and can often be found with their nose in a book, their head in the clouds, and a dreamy expression in their eyes.

Much of their time is spent in one Story or another, chasing Truth and Beauty from one Curiosity to the next.

In short, a Wonder-Kin is family and looks a lot like you.

WELCOME!
