Writing is flowing and fierce. Walks are gentle. By the field. In the woods. I haven’t ventured far from home yet.
Trees are gnarly, and blog posts are short 🙂
The Manteith Collection
The Manteith Collection comprises THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR and FIREFLIES AND CHOCOLATE. The books do not have to be read in order.
Book 1 (mermaid, 16th century) is set mainly in a castle belonging to the Manteith family and involves witchcraft accusations and romance.
In Fireflies (18th century) Elizabeth Manteith is kidnapped and transported to the American colonies as an indentured servant.

To me, venturing is a search, and how far one ventures depends on the venturer’s state of mind as much as it does on the surroundings.
Interesting thought. I like it 🙂
So happy to see your beautiful places again, noted with your poet words. You focused on two of my favorites of your books.
