    About this ebook

    Child's Play, Part 1 is the first of four in the novel, Castine.
    Alison is the typical cautious and defensive teenager who comes from a broken home. Recently united with her brother, Ray, and two cousins, they find themselves in Castine. It’s a place thought only to have existed in the imagination of their childhood games. The magic, the town, even Marbellia, Queen of Castine, are exactly as they’d always pictured it to be when they were children. But how could this be? It was just a made-up game they used to play to pass away the summers.
    As excited as they were to be in place they never dreamed could real, they needed answers. Yet all they found was frustration. Marbellia gave no direct help. Being told Alison needed to look back into their game to the find the answers made no sense at all. Alison held the key to unlocking the Ivory Magyck and also to finding their way back home.
    Would she find the answers in time? Or would Phaelan, a gorgeous Caribbean blue-eyed Castinian, be distraction enough to keep her from her task?

    Heather Welch

    Heather Welch is a native Rhode Islander now living in the South raising two Southern Belles. She’s been writing stories since she learned to form sentences, and her mother proudly displayed her first one, The Farmer and The Bunny, on their refrigerator.With writing being her main passion, you won’t often find a pen and paper far from her reach. She can often be found, journal in hand, anywhere from seaside to sofa. Life’s precious moments are far too valuable not to capture on paper.Castine has been released in four sequences. They say write what you know, which is exactly what transpired. The idea came to Ms. Welch from an imaginary game played as a child with her own brother and sister back when summer afternoons were filled with magic, monsters, secret powers and faraway places. The book took on a life of its own, and the words flowed freely onto the pages.Each character holds a special meaning for her, and she hopes some will for you as well. If you’ve enjoyed reading as much as she’s enjoyed writing, she’d love to hear from you.Also follow on Instagram - www.instagram.com/heatherwelchnovels
