“I would never buy his work, and you couldn’t pay me to hang it up on my wall.”


This is what my husband told me after I became seriously heartbroken after another two-star review for my eco-fantasy novel, Water.

Description: This is a sample piece from my Contemporary Eco-Fantasy, Water. It occurs about a third of the way through the novel. I chose a section that portrays the personality of the main character, Kaitlyn, and her romantic interest, Micah. I also tried to pick a section that contains some 'fantasy'. Please excuse the lack of indents, Goodreads take them out. Enjoy!

" This was an entertaining and confusing read.

I liked the way it started. Sort of right into some action. No slow introduction or exposition. Just boom. Action. Some of the things that followed seemed a little farfetched, but the character actually... "

“Micah: “Come, on. Let’s get you out of here.” He began putting his arms under me and lifted me off my bed of rocks.
“Oh, no. You can’t just come trotting in here like some hero. I’m saving myself this time. Go away!”
“And let me just say you were doing a fine job lying there on your back.”
Terra Harmony, Water

“You can’t imagine how much I regret what happened. For some reason, because
of the type of relationship we had, I thought it was an acceptable training exercise; albeit a little extreme. But I’m not going to ask your forgiveness, I don’t want it. I mean to always remember my mistake, so I will never make it again.” (Micah to Kaitlyn)”
Terra Harmony, Water

“He stepped forward and took the butterfly hanging around my neck between his two fingers: “This will remind me, both of my mistake and how much I care for you.” He took another step closer so we were only inches apart, and his hand moved to the back of my shoulder where Shawn’s mark still
scarred my skin. “And I hope this will never heal. It will remind me to never take anything for granted; other people’s intentions, your safety, or . . . you.”
