Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond
Squeee ~ The first draft of Destiny's Diamond is almost ready to go to my content editor. I can't wait to share this book with you!
The McCory Chronicles Series ~ Book II
Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond
I would like to introduce you to one of the characters in this book
~ The Trickster Pan ~
Excerpt from Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond
"No.
That is Grams' place not mine." Jackel tipped his hat up higher on his
head and turned his slanted yellow eyes on Destiny. "Now, Destiny how is
that trickster Pan involved in all of this?"
Destiny rose and started pacing
again. “I am ashamed to tell you, but you must know all of the facts. I had
finished my path readings for the day and decided that a nice walk in the woods
would clear my mind. The forest was exceptionally lovely that afternoon and I
found a nice spot of moss under a lovely elder tree and sat down to enjoy the
peacefulness of the day.
As I was sitting there, I heard the
faint sound of a flute playing on the breeze. It was the most beautiful music I
had ever heard." Destiny stopped pacing and hummed a few small notes.
"I felt something was wrong, but the music had captivated me in its
sweetness. I looked toward the sound and a handsome man with magnificent horns
appeared out of the brush. I tried to run away, but I was not fast enough. He
quickly caught up with me using the fleetness of his strong and agile goat
legs. I knew then I was facing the trickster, Pan."
Destiny
clenched her hands into fists. "I pleaded for him to let me go, but he
just laughed and began reciting my favorite poems. In the background his music
continued to fill my ears. He danced, and played his flute and before I knew
what was happening, I was dancing along with him. I felt like a child again,
with no worries, and no responsibilities. I danced so long that finally,
exhausted, I sat back down and fell immediately asleep." Destiny frowned
and walked back over to the table.
"When I woke, I felt refreshed.
My mind was free from the weight of the obligations of carrying Destiny's
Diamond. Then Pan's lethal trademark set in. I panicked. I grabbed my pouch,
and instantly knew it had been replaced by a fake. When I looked inside I found
this in place of my beautiful diamond."
Destiny pulled out a dingy, rough,
black rock from her velvet pouch and sighed.

~~~Sharing my Award Winning Juvenile Book with all of my fans ~~~
The Fat Black Cat
By: C. L. Collar
I opened the door and there she sat
on my front porch, a Fat Black Cat.
Since Halloween’s not far away
I decided that she could stay
Addition to my fun décor
A Fat Black Cat at my front door.
I really thought by the next day
She would have scampered far away.
But as I opened up the door
She had added to my décor
A big Fat Rat with a pink tail
Of course I let out quite a YELL!
She was not bothered by me much.
She simply said “It’s just my lunch.”
I really thought by the next day
She would have scampered far away
But as I opened up my door
She had added to my décor
A Large Black Spider in a Web
“He’s just a friend,” is all she said.
“He might stay for a day
Or he might simply go away.”
I really thought by the next day
THEY would have scampered far away
But when I opened up my door
They both were there and there was more!
She had procured a great big SNAKE
Dead of course, but still a SNAKE!
“He bothered me.” was all she said
As she daintily cleaned her head.
I really HOPED by the next day
THEY would have scampered FAR away.
But when I Opened up my door
There was more there than before.
A Bat was hanging from the eaves.
She growled and said. “I am not pleased.
I chased him all night through the trees.
He just won’t go. He’s such a tease!”
I really HOPED by the next day
They would ALL have gone far away!
But when I opened up my door
There was a surprise for sure!
The Cat had donned a Pointed Hat
And a cape was draped upon her back.
She smiled at me “Don’t I look dandy?
Maybe I will get some candy?”
Halloween night was finally here!
No one would come to my house this year
I thought as I looked out the door
At my unusual décor.
They would all be scared and run away
That cat had ruined my favorite day?
As I climbed into my bed
Costumed kids danced in my head
At least I’d see them in my dreams..
Then suddenly the doorbell rings!
I jumped and scampered to the door
And there I was surprised once more.
I opened the door and there she sat
The Fat Black Cat with the pointy hat.
Goblins and ghosts petted her fur
They gave her candy as she purred
Your house’s the best I heard them scream.
And as they ran off,
I know I’d seen
What will be MY BEST, HALLOWEEN!
I thought that she was here to stay
But she had vanished the next day
Gone was the Spider and the Bat
Gone was the Snake and the fat Rat
I really hope
she will come back
Next Halloween, my Fat Black Cat!
