The Mystery of Whale House by Hendrik van Oordt



#gypsyshadow #mystery #youngadult

Shipped off to an aunt and uncle on remote Rew island while their parents are moving house, Frank, Dana and Martin are bored to death in a place without internet or even proper cell phone reception. All the locals talk about is the lobster catch. But just when our city-bred heroes decide to start boycotting their aunt's fish soup, they hear a story about a mad woman and her son living in Whale House, a Gothic monstrosity perched on an isolated peninsula up north. Cut off from the remainder of the island by a sudden storm, the three teens are forced to seek refuge in Whale House, where they discover a terrible secret. After considerable adventures, they come face to face with their captors, who cannot afford to let them escape…

Rachel's Inheritance, an Erotic Romance by Shiloh Darke

#gypsyshadow #checkeditout #fantasy #shortstory #erotic

The most important people in Rachel's life have died. She's all alone in the world, but she's just inherited a castle in the south of France . . . A castle reputed to be home to a different kind of creatures—Gargoyles.


The stories her aunt told her of them were pure nonsense, of course. Rachel knew such creature couldn't possibly come to life only at night to give wings to a woman's desires. Those tales were just to fuel a young girl's flight of fancy. Weren't they?


But on her first night at the castle, Rachel dreams of one of the great beasts. He comes to her in her dreams as a man, leaving her breathless and doubtful come morning. A part of her aches for more, even as she tries to convince herself her experience was all only a dream.

The Adventures of Ri Ra by John C. Elliott


The story takes place in rural Maine when a mean old farmer takes two wonderful Maine Coon cats, George and Martha, into captivity. They’re thrown into a cold and dark barn and ordered to kill mice. Martha gives birth to a kitten they name Ri Ra. Ri Ra is a Scottish Gaelic name for “King of the Roar.” The story revolves around the adventures that Ri Ra and his parents have as they plan a daring escape. During their adventures they meet lots of other animals, and before long they’re joined by all their newfound friends as they journey back home.
