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 I grabbed my pouch, and instantly knew it had been replaced by a fake.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.

The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond

It is time to share a snipit from the next book in The McCory Chronicles Series ~ Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond ~ Coming Soon




Everyone readied their weapons as Chester slowly crept over to the huge onyx door. Turning the silver latch quickly to one side, he shoved the door open. A growl bellowed from his lips as a large brown glob of mud hit him directly in the chest sending him flying backwards onto the floor. In no time at all, Jackel had the horrid muddy beast in his hands ready to tear it apart.
"Wait!" yelled Katie. "That lump of mud looks kind of familiar."
"What do you mean?" yelled Jackel. "How would you be familiar with a mud monster?"
"Give it to me," said Katie.
"I don't think so," said Jackel, extending his sharp claws around the beast. "These mud monsters can be awful slippery. I think this one was spying on us. I'll just give him a good squish, and he won't be relaying any messages to anyone."
Jackel squeezed the mud monster tighter. It sprung from his hands landing with a splat on the floor, sat up, and then launched itself directly at Katie. Jackel and Donnie both tried to block the attack, but the monster found its way through their defenses and right into Katie's pocket.

Destiny's Diamond

I have been working hard on my second book in 
The McCory Chronicle's Series: 

Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond

Here is a snippet just for you~~~~~~




           He poked the fire again sending a spray of fiery embers into the air. As he watched them fade into the darkness, a small glow floated towards him through the trees. Soon another joined it. As Donnie watched the two became four. A soft sound teased his ears. The golden lights bounced into the forest beckoning him to follow. 
            "What are you and what do you want?" he asked.
            The lights formed a blinking path, still whispering their enchanting echo. Donnie stood. "If you are a Will-o'-the-Wisp, how do I know if I can trust you?"
            Three of of the orbs disappeared. Donnie studied the remaining one. It flickered down the path, then return. As he watched, he felt a small sting on his back, then another. Soon it felt as if a swarm of bees were attacking him. He turned to swat them away catching only air as the three missing orbs bounced off his back and shoulders.
            "Okay," said Donnie, dropping his arms. "I get it. You don't have to be so pushy, but if this is a trick I just want you to know that I do know how to defend myself."

             He followed the bouncing lights to a beautiful, blue pond. Donnie took in his surroundings. It wasn't just any pond. It was the pond that his fairy grandmother, Luna, had told him was his and Ariel's portal into Fey. If they ever needed to contact her they were to toss something silver into the pond and say her magical chant. Was Luna in trouble? The Will-o'-the-Wisp fluttered above the pond then disappeared.

If you haven't read the first book in this series here is where you can get your ticket into the Land Of Fey~
