    About this ebook

    All Lily wanted was to be a normal high school student. Well, the most normal a six foot, three inch tall girl who was bigger and stronger than the average football player could be. And it really was wonderfully normal...until a Goblin fell in love with her. Now Lily is dodging Goblins, Ogres, and table cutlery in this amusing misadventure of awkward high school romance.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

      This is a fun short story about a very tall, very.....un-pretty school girl and a short, skinny, rubber-faced goblin. The goblin falls in love with the poor girl, who wants nothing to do with him. I found the book very well written and can't wait for another installment. Please tell me there will be more stories!
