Hello Dear Friends,
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Spring, and Easter! I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy and well! Kat and I are certainly feeling rather lucky after the events of Kat-A-Strophic. We’re alive and healing, and expecting some…interesting developments in the next book.
Luck on Ellandria 
Life here on our home planet may be light-years away from Earth, but we've managed to pick up a few of its charming superstitions regarding luck:
Clann Grioff specializes in all things griffin
Silver Griffin Feathers: Finding a silver feather of a wild, untamed griffin is an omen of great fortune. Or impending doom. The mighty beasts can be deadly if you get on their bad side, or if you happen to be around when it’s dinner time. The quest for silver griffin feathers is certainly not for the faint of heart, but they do fetch a pile of gold at the marketplace.
Whispers in the Wind: When a soft breeze ruffles your hair unexpectedly, it's believed to be a lucky spirit passing by. If you can manage to whisper a quick wish into the wind before it fades, good fortune may follow.
Stone Singing at Midnight: Stone singers often venture far out in the desert to sing to the stones at midnight on full moon nights, which are often considering how many we have. If a stone responds by emitting a soft glow, it's seen as a sign of incoming good luck and prosperity. Especially if you don’t run into a giant skairp on the way back to town.
Speaking of moons, Elijah and Nova have been settling in and making some surprising discoveries on Eris, many of which have Dale toiling feverishly in his bedroom-turned-laboratory. Strangely colored smoke has been seen belching from beneath the door, filling the upper hall with odd odors.
I shudder to think of just what my brother may be up to now. The last time he was this taken with something, he discovered the portals to our home world, and we know how that little adventure turned out.
As for our dear author, she's currently seeking inspiration in the sunny Southwest. But fear not, she's hard at work on Star Crossed, and from what I hear, it's going to be a wild ride for all of us. While we eagerly await the next installment, why not check out these fantastic reads below from similar authors?

A witch. A vampire. An immortal mistake.
As a witch, I have a healthy dislike for the undead. While they can turn a human, their venom kills those of us with power. At least that was true until I was attacked by a rogue and transitioned into a vampire.
