The Snow Demon. Content Warning.
He had been sat in the tree watching the two girls as they had headed outside into the snow. Snow was such a great enticer for fun, with its sometime companions, mischief and mayhem.

Magpies. Content Warning.
"Go on! Get away from there!" Trisha banged on the kitchen window again and watched with satisfaction as the magpies skittered off, a flash of black and white, retreating over the fence. They'd be back, she knew.

Lost
I've been here for days now. Do you know how ludicrously boring it is to be lost? You know, you have a purpose in life, a place that you live where you can usually be found and all you want to do is just get on with your job. But you can't. Why?

Rachel Reviews: The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone by Paul E. Doutrich
The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone is just that: a book which describes the adventures of one man, mainly in aviation. However, that career and those adventures include the major wars of the last century, pilots being required to fight, and so, you have a war novel as well as one that charts the more personal struggles and triumphs of Donnie as an individual.

Mary's Awakening
It was her first fairytale. Mary's eyes were wide as her mum told her about the boy and girl with the funny names in the forest, dropping breadcrumbs and hoping that they would find their way home. It was a story that inspired uncertainty and insecurity.

Rachel Reviews: The Farm by Randy O'Brien
There was much to like about this book. The action is set mainly on the farm where Mary Lou and Brother live, the older members of the Wright family with Mary Lou's daughters, Millie, Annie and Snaps, whose real name is Ginger. The novel focuses mainly on Snaps but we learn about the lives of the other characters throughout the narrative as well.

Saint Valentine
"So, I'm thinking that you'd like to live forever, right?" Valentine had been startled out of his skin, when the angel appeared, minding his own business, thinking about love. He was a loving sort of man. A man who loved God. A man who loved marriage. A man who loved Love. It was a great thing and should be treated as such, as should all the associated Love attributes: respect, trust, companionship to name a couple.

Into the Snow. Content Warning.
"Sh." "Dad, where are we going?" "You'll see." "Can we tell Mum?" "No." "But why?" "Because Mummy's sleeping." "But she'll want to know where we are. And I want her to come too."
