    The Weaver's daughter: A fairy tale about making friends with the monsters next door.

    What Jack found: When your son finds a fairy in the garden do you release him to potentially hostile forces, or risk your family to keep him safe?

    Awakening Iorwen: A sleeping beauty re-telling set against the consolidation of Roman rule in Wales.

    A lakeside meeting: Bernard is on the run from the hybrid butterflies he developed to interface with your brain.

    In the box: Two students find a mysterious growing box in their office.

    Spook school: There's something different about the school next door, but it's not what Josephine expects.

    The husband test: An unexpected package ruins everything.

    The Halloween dare: Nothing is as it seems when exploring the house at the top of the hill.

    Bargaining with a demon: An unexpected visitor gives Charlie an opportunity of a lifetime, but does she dare to take advantage of it?

    Clarissa Gosling

    Clarissa has always lived more in the world of daydream and fiction than in reality. In her writing she explores purpose and belonging across worlds. Having never found an actual portal to faeryland, she creates her own fantastical worlds where dragons, fae and other magical creatures rule. She now lives in the Netherlands with her family, where she writes as much as they will let her. When not reading or writing, she drinks too much tea and has a burgeoning obsession with Bundt cakes. Clarissa is the author of the "Dragons of Kaitstud" and "Lost Princess of Starlight" YA fantasy series, and the "Expat Life" series of non-fiction guides for families moving, and living, abroad. She is an admin for the 365 Writing Challenge, an international group that supports people to build the habit of writing. And she is one of the co-hosts of the Reading Queens podcast, which discusses mainly young adult fantasy books and their major tropes. Find out more about her at clarissagosling.com
