Elsa and The Motmot

Elsa Toussaint lies in bed, finding it difficult to sleep with the excitement of knowing she will be staying with her grandparents at their beachside home in Toco, Trinidad, for a month. From the time her parents drive Elsa through Toco and she sees her old friend Nora, Elsa understands that the holiday will be fun. Elsa and Nora soon re-unite, and Elsa develops a new friendship in the form of a parrot her animal-loving Aunt Lily had adopted, Simon. The trio of friends work together to save the life of a baby bird that has fallen out of the infamous mango tree, gaining another friend in the process, a Motmot bird that Elsa later names Motty. When rescuing the baby Motmot, Nora enlists the aid of one of her friends, Colin. Colin is a nice boy but still immature enough to both make fun of Elsa being deaf and the fact that he saw her underwear when she climbed the mango tree.

Emphasis

For our protagonist, life was great.

Then life wasn’t so great.

As a child, being bullied is quite possibly one of the worst experiences you can have.

This little story offers a resolution.

It’s a story of empathy and friendship.

It’s about overcoming your fears and reaching out for help.

It’s also about understanding how intimidating behaviour can have a huge effect on others.

Nobody should experience bullying...EVER!

Enchanta: The Mystic Waterfall

Katie Baxter is just an ordinary 10-year-old girl, until late one night she is dragged into the pages of a mystical book along with her younger brother Jack.

When Katie lands in the magical world of Enchanta, she is greeted by two beautiful elves and learns she is the chosen one and the only person who can save this new world, and her own, from the evil Crimson Warlock.

But first she must find seven keys that will break the power of the Crimson Warlock and his stranglehold over the normally friendly forest animals, and release the source of life and power on Enchanta: The Golden Orb. But the Orb is firmly entombed in the Crimson Warlock’s Dark Tower, so Katie must be smarter and more resourceful to find the keys.

Full of suspense and positive behavioural themes the first book in this series, Tales of Enchanta: The Mystic Waterfall will keep young readers captivated from the first page to the last.

Enter Spice

Enter Spice is a sequel to Enter Donegal. Spice, a charming Cocker Spaniel arrives at the Ellis home after Donegal has gone, and obviously at his request. She is readily accepted and loved by all family members. 

With the gifts of walking upright, speaking, reading, writing and singing, she helps Scott and Lara in their ‘love’ relationships, frustrates the attempt of a work colleague of Beth’s to prevent her promotion, and rescues children lost in mountainous bushland.

Her hilarious ‘coming out’, or revealing her talents, causes a sensation on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ and results in her kidnapping from which she manages to escape in a surprising and unusual manner.

Her own brush with near-death leads her to devote herself to helping the seriously ill in hospitals.

Like Donegal, she makes a very different announcement that has implications for the whole Ellis family.

This heart-warming novel underlines the significance of animals (dogs in particular), demonstrates the value of all living things, indicates ways in which we can help one another, and asserts the triumph of goodness over evil.

Erif the Helpful Dragon

The summer seemed like it would never end, it had been a few weeks of blistering heat.

Flame didn’t do much except try and keep out of the sun and keep cool. She went through the bare trees onto the dry grasslands. She sneezed and let a small fire out of her large nostrils… oh my goodness! Quickly the fire caught the grass, help she thought. She raised herself into the air in panic and shot her fire high. She could see Erif over on Nezca.

What was wrong over on Egar? thought Erif, but he knew; he could see the smoke!

Erif quickly flew over to the flame. Oh dear, he had to think and think fast. He could see the fire might spread in time and destroy Egar.

He needed help, they all did, Erif knew there was only one thing he could do…

Faerie Tale

When the forest fairies notice the changes in the forest, the Oracle declares that they must recover the four fairy treasures from the elemental fairies;

“The darkness that has grown for many years,
the terror that every fairy fears.
But with the fairies’ growing plight,
hope is returned by a single light.
One chance we have to correct this wrong,
this hope will need to grow strong.
Because if the four races cannot unite,
the one will fail in the final fight.
You will need the earth’s wisdom to have its say,
You will fail without a flame to guide your way,
You need the air’s knowledge that is kept
You will fail without the water’s emotional depth.
These four elements are needed for all fairies’ creation,
to twist them is the darkness’s motivation.
To stop it collect the Tuatha De Danann’s four treasures,
even though the darkness will try to stop these measures.”

The Oracle sees that Elizabeth is the only fairy with a chance. The Dark Fairy tries to thwart their friendship and collection of the treasures, even invading their dreams with pixie magic.

Meeting friends along the journey and gaining wisdom from the elemental races, Elizabeth learns the true meaning of being a fairy. Can Elizabeth and her friends collect the treasures, unite the races and defeat the dark fairy to save the forest?

Fairies at Number 55

“Nobody in the world will admit to having seen a fairy, but it doesn’t mean they are not there.”

“Fairies are kind and they always, always do the sweetest, gentlest things for you and for all that you love, but rarely will they be visible. But you just never know…”

Fairy mum, Starlight, is beautiful. Sheer gossamer wings with a duck-egg blue hue, her tinkling voice always sounds like tiny cymbals chinking as she laughs, forever checking her fairy family, imploring them to keep kindness and gentleness to the fore of every endeavour.

From their garden at number 55, the family of fairies, Starlight and Nimbus, their fairy children, Mimosa, Chicory and Chirrup, Lychen and Moss, weave in and out of the lives of various woodland and water creatures, “giants” and their pets, all along the leafy green and cool bridleway.

Calling, along the way, upon such firm friends as doves, Darcy and Dill and magpies, Mick and Maggie, Spinner the friendly spider, and Skeet the generous dog, the fairies cheerfully carry out rescues, avert danger, make gifts, and even bring love to two lonely foxes.
