In Bekka of Thorns’ second chronicle, The Carven Flute, she writes about the immortal lavender witch, Babba Ja Harick, and how she traveled to Earth seeking her long lost sister. In The Well of Shells, the story of the sisters as witchlets is dictated by the blind Harpo to his new scribe, Lace. Lace can’t […]
This excerpt is from one of Harpo’s earliest chronicles, Babbling Jam Hatrack. In it, we meet Prince Hal, later to be Harold the Tooth, King of Fiddleeebod. Now he is merely a Prince of Fiddleebod. Fiddleebod will have to wait until Prince becomes King to acquire its third ‘e’. Bek and Kar know this story […]
This excerpt is from another of Lace’s chronicles, The Creely Crown. It describes a scavenger hunt/race to find and claim the legendary Creely Crown. The competing contestants are the wild Triplet Princesses Three of Fiddleeebod. That’s Wun on the left below, Tuu in the middle, and Thrii on the right. Thrii dyed her hair startling […]

I have decided to start posting excerpts from the stories heard by Bek and Kar all of their lives in the bramble bower hedge. This first one is from ‘The Great Green Va’, a story of the Princess Ivah Skay and how she hated rules and loved green. This is the Princess Ivah Skay This […]
That is the island of Jom in the middle of Winedarque Lake near the green sands home of Dodden, a spindly cragger on the world of Boad. The story I am working on right now takes place there. Though Bekka does make a brief appearance, she is not the storyteller. A quest to fulfill a […]
This is the formidable winged Princess of Cloud Castle City, Nimble Missst. Bekka, in her seventh chronicle, tells the story of how Nimble Missst became Quen (yes, Quen, not Queen) Nim. Here is Motty, the hollowite, a winged six-legged creature with a tongue she can fling all the way across a reception hall. She serves […]
