About this ebook
Welcome to the greater galaxy! Meet the starfaring folk known as the Aelur. They love music, laughter, Christmastime, and playing tricks. Will you join in their "Glorious Song of Old", or will you say that you have had "Enough"? Perhaps you are waiting for "The Tenth Lady" to arrive and complete the dance? Or perhaps you want the Aelur starship, the Wild Rover, to whisk you away so that you may see the "Sun and Moon and Stars of Light" for yourself? Wherever you choose to begin, be sure to bring your singing voice, your dancing shoes, and your imagination!
Please note: All stories in this collection have been previously published as part of the “Holidays with Anne” series. As such, this unitary edition is being made available to readers for free.
Anne B. Walsh
Anne B. Walsh was telling stories about magic and intrigue from the time she could talk, but it took her twenty years to realize she could make a living at it. Her first novel, historical fantasy "A Widow in Waiting", has its origins in a PBS special which changed her life; her second, family-focused fantasy "Homecoming", takes its inspiration from some of her other writing; and her third, soft science fiction "Killdeer", stems from her constant interest in the ways in which the future and the past coincide. Anne lives east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with one roommate (Krystal), two black Labs (Buddy and Brando), and two black cats (Starsky and Hutch). Sadly, their Cane Corso mastiff, Bruce, passed away in mid-August 2013, and their first cats, Poppy and Sesame, who helped inform Anne's first collection of short stories, "Cat Tales", passed out of their lives after an accident on Christmas Day 2013. No one ever said life was fair. Anne's parents and siblings live two hours north of her, otherwise known as just far enough away. She has also been writing Harry Potter fan fiction for more than ten years and is known best in that genre as the creator of the "Dangerverse" alternate universe (which inspired "Homecoming"). Beyond writing fiction, Anne's preoccupations include reading fiction; singing anywhere that will have her, including her church and local galas; theatre, especially musicals; all forms of cooking; and her family and friends. Within writing fiction, her preoccupations are much the same, meaning most of her stories involve loving families, delicious food, and good music. Consider yourself warned. A number of projects continue to need Anne's attention as she writes her original novels. Among these are her ongoing fanfiction works in various fandoms such as Harry Potter and Frozen, and the themed fantasy anthologies she co-authors with her friend and fellow author Elizabeth Conall.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh, I do like these short story sequels to Killdeer.
The life of the Aelur about the Rover is such a wonderful one. Bringing song and dance everywhere they go and occasionally a bit of much needed help with it.
