Brittni Chenelle

BRITTNI CHENELLE currently lives in Seoul, Korea which inspires her multicultural fantasy books. Her favorite genres to read and write are Young Adult Fantasy, Young Adult Romance, Fairytale Retellings, and Young Adult Dystopian novels. She's very passionate about equal representation and makes a point to include characters from different backgrounds and cultures in her Fantasy stories. 5 FUN FACTS ABOUT BRITTNI CHENELLE 1. She lives in South Korea. It's true. She does most of her updates in the morning or at night to account for the time difference. She also infuses most of her novels with her observations about Korean culture. 2. She's a Type 1 Diabetic. She uses an insulin pump for survival and refers to her diabetes as "Beetie" which is what inspired her children's book "Life with Beetie". When she wants something from her parents she tells them, "My Beetie hurts." It's a trick that has never failed her. 3. She doesn't really BELIEVE in fiction. Despite all the; Dragons, Elves, and Magic present in her novel "Involuted the Tale of the Red Ribbon Tree", Brittni INSISTS that it's a true story. 4. She's OBSESSED with dark chocolate. She made me put that in and would also like me to inform you (on an unrelated note) that her birthday is in May. 5. Sorry guys, she's married. If you ask her, she'll tell you her husband saved her life but everytime someone asks "how?" she gives a different reason. I've overheard her give about 4 different reasons, but I bet she has more. He must be an amazing guy.

Morgana

Islid open the unguarded door to his chamber, the thrum of my heart ringing in my ears. The window was open, thick beams of moonlight pouring onto the floor like a great white waterfall. Beside it, a robed figure stood, staring out into the night. 

Though he was my target, he was so still that I hadn’t immediately noticed him. I might not have seen him at all if not for the glint of gold that caught the moonlight just right. It was fitting that his crown be his end as it once sat on the head of the first king I ever slayed. 

I watched him for a moment, afraid to move closer and disturb the acute serenity.

 I knew you’d come, he said. 

I released the stale air beneath me that I’d held with magic to silence my steps. It seemed stealth was not necessary. I walked over and moved into the moonlight to look into his stone-like face. He looked so much like my father that I felt my will to take his life falter. 

His hair was gray around his ears, his face only barely touched with lines of age, and though he knew the purpose of my visit, his
