Fantasy and Reality, the Double Mix (Guest Post by Donna Crow)


Thank you so much for inviting me to be a guest on your blog, Kerry. Congratulations on publishing your first book and launching your blog! It’s truly a Brave new World out here, isn’t it? Such exciting things going on in the publishing industry. I love being a part of it all and I’m sure you’re having a great time, too.

Since you write fantasy— or what now is called “speculative fiction”— I thought your readers might be interested in my romantic suspense series The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries because these books deal with the, sometimes narrow, line between fantasy and reality.

In The Shadow of Reality, which takes place at a murder mystery weekend high in the Rockies, much of the story is role-playing. Elizabeth is so caught up in the fantasy of the weekend and in her own personal dreams— which seem to be coming true before her very eyes— that it almost costs her her life.

Finally, shivering with cold and aching with sleep, Elizabeth crouches on a cold, dark balcony, keeping watch to learn the truth she doesn’t want to face:

            She wrapped the blanket tighter around her, stifled a yawn that made her eyes water, and leaned her head back against the cold iron bars of the railing. . .
            It was only the merest click, barely audible. She was sure her heart leaping into her throat made a far louder sound. But it was enough to call her back from the cloud she was drifting away on and rivet all her attention on the two-inch gap between the shade and the window sill.
            The dark figure moved noiselessly across the room with no more substance that a shadow. . .

In A Midsummer Eve’s Nightmare Elizabeth and Richard are attending a magical Shakespearean Festival when the dream is broken. The perfectly acted death scene on the stage wasn’t  acted. And Elizabeth’s costume-designer sister or her actress roommate could be the stalker’s next victim if Elizabeth and Richard can’t sort out the tangled tale among people whose business it is to create fantasy.

From a magical production full of sprites, fairies and sorcerers, Elizabeth is thrust out into the dark tangle of the woods beyond the park backing the theater, racing to reach her friend before the murderer:

            Elizabeth headed toward the playground on the other side of the park. She thought of calling out Erin’s name, but some instinct to remain hidden herself kept her quiet. Now she could hear the gurgling of the creek as it tumbled over smooth rocks by the bridge. Earlier in the day there would have been hordes of laughing children wading and splashing in the water. Now all was as silent as a cemetery.
            Elizabeth shivered, wishing she could have thought of a more cheerful similie.
            Then she heard the scream.
Both books are available in print or ebook format. I hope you’ll take a look at them if you’ve enjoyed those tiny tastes.  And please visit my website www.DonnaFletcherCrow.com I have lots of information about all my books, myself and my garden.  Retreating to my rose garden is my favorite real-life fantasy. What’s yours?

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 38 books, mostly novels dealing with British history.  The award-winning Glastonbury, an Arthurian grail search epic covering 15 centuries of English history, is her best-known work. Donna and her husband live in Boise, Idaho.  They have 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren. She is an enthusiastic gardener.

Her newest release is A Darkly Hidden Truth, book 2 in her clerical mystery series The Monastery Murders. She also writes the Lord Danvers series of Victorian true-crime novels and the romantic suspense series The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries.

Guardian Angel Part IV


Part IV
           
The SUV reaches a small one room shack twenty miles out of town in the middle of nowhere. The dark figure slipped out of the SUV and carried the unconscious couple into the shack, locks the door, then climbed into his SUV and heads back into town. He arrived at his apartment, stumbles into his apartment, and slams the door. He sank to his knees clutching his head as if he were in immense pain. He screamed out in pain, “I did what you asked me, please take the pain away.”
The pain suddenly increases and his skull felt like it was about to explode. He glanced over at the mirror and his reflection appeared to be laughing at him. “Fool, you haven’t completed everything I have for you to do.”
His words were barely audible, “What more would you have me do my master?” The pain subsides and a thought enters his head. An evil smile finds its way onto his face as the Evil One’s plan becomes clear in his mind. “I understand and your will be done Master.”
***
Michael awakens and found him and Samantha in a small one room shack. He ran over to Samantha, “Are you alright Sammie?”
“I think so Mike, what happened?”
“I’m not sure, the last thing I remember was picking you up at your house, and then we somehow ended up here.”
She looked up at him with fear in her eyes, “I’m scared.”
He took her in his arms and whispered, “I won’t let anyone or anything hurt you.”
She smiles and lays her head on his chest, “You know Mike; I’ve never been able to outrun you. I always thought there would come a day when I didn’t regret telling you goodbye. Looking back, I should have realized that I can’t outrun you.”
“I don’t know what to say, Sammie.”
She smiles, “There’s a part of you in every part of me. It’s like your ghost is chasing me, and I can’t outrun you. I have moved around, and no matter where I go, you always seem to be with me. I’ve had a chance with other guys, but I only ever saw your face. I’ve prayed that the memory of you would fade, but I guess God knows better. I guess what I am saying is that I am so sorry for breaking your heart and if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I would like the chance to love you again. This time I would love you right.” A tear finds its way down her cheek as she looked into his eyes, “I love you Michael.”
Michael placed his hands on her chin and tilted her head up and kissed her gently, then whispered, “I love you too Samantha, I always have and always will. Now we need to get out of here and find out who took us.”
He took her hand and went to the front door, finding it lock he put his boot to it and kicked it open. Samantha looked at Michael, “My hero.” They both chuckle and run out the open door. Soon after they left the cabin, they found themselves lost in the surrounding forest. The sun started setting and still they found themselves lost in the forest.
They stopped to rest for a moment or two, and suddenly Sam had an idea, she closed her eyes and silently pleaded with whoever was listening, “Please help us God, if you are there. I think you are… please help us out of this forest.” A moment later, she heard a voice in her mind, telling her the way out of the forest. They head off in the direction she was told Michael trusting her that she knows where she’s going.
As they race toward the edge of the forest, the trees begin to move, ever so slightly, moving them in the direction the Evil one wants. They soon come to a clearing and once out of the cover of the trees they see that they are back at the cabin where they started. They saw the dark figure standing on the porch. He points a boney finger toward them and they are surrounding by a pack of wolves with glowing red eyes. He laughs at them, “Did you actually think you could get away from me? It will take more than just a prayer to get you out of this.”
The dark figure started to make his way toward the couple when a bright white light comes out of nowhere and blinds the dark figure. As the dark figure staggered back, a figure stepped out of the white light with a flaming sword and shield. “You will not have these people Evil One.”
The dark figure just laughs, “Whose going to stop me? You? I think not… no, no one can stop me. I have the power of the Evil One, I am unstoppable. I will kill you and then I will continue with the Evil One’s plan.” With that said the dark one pulled out a sword that was black at pitch. The two combatants begin to circle…
