Another 5 Star Review for Away With the Fairies
An enchanting short story not to be missed - Tara Fox Hall
This tale sucked me right in, much as the way the protagonist, Lucy, is sucked into Fairyland one day through her bedroom wall. I meant to read just a bit, and couldn't pull myself away until the story was done. Though the name Lucy brought to mind Narnia's character of the same name, this story is less about her, and more about the frantic search for her, and the thoughts and emotions of her sister, father and mother. The dialogue was exceptional, and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. My only grievance is that I wanted the tale to go on longer! I am always transported by Mrs. Twist's stories, and Away With the Fairies is no exception. A lighthearted, enjoyable tale well worth the low price!

Thank you so much, Tara

Rave Reviews Still Coming in for Domingo’s Angel
Thank you so much, Catherine, for this lovely review:
This novel has a great deal to offer. Once I'd started reading it I didn't want it to end, and yet, when the end came it was totally satisfying. The main characters, Angela and Rosalba are perfect foils for each other. Angela is the beautiful and ethereal young vulnerable English woman seeking a place to call home. She's found by Domingo who believes she's an angel. They fall in love, marry and make their home in the village. Rosalba is the Spanish matriarch of the village, indomitable, taking on the role of doctor, advisor, mother and carer whom everyone listens to. These two women become as close as mother and daughter and between them change the future for the whole village. All this against a backdrop of the Spanish Civil War right up to the aftermath of WW11.
The atmosphere is enchanting. Despite the hardships and terrible sufferings of these people during the wars we experience the courage, spirit and love of the villagers for each other. It's a story of suffering and redemption, which you won't want to forget.

It's Here at Last! Jenny's New Book – Bedtime Shadows
Hi everyone.
The long-awaited anthology is finally out as e book and paperback. You can get it from Melange Books on this site:
http://www.melange-books.com/authors/...
Acclaimed authors, Tara Fox Hall and Jenny Twist have got together to produce a thrilling anthology of short stories ranging from horror to romance.
The Man With No Face– Jenny Twist
All her life Deborah has been haunted by the memory of a couple locked in a deadly embrace. She thinks the woman may be the mother that abandoned her but she cannot see the man's face. Who is he?
All That Remains – Tara Fox Hall
This thrilling sequel to The Origin of Fear (Spellbound 2011) takes us back to Latham's Landing. Will Tina and Sandra survive their encounter with the ghosts that inhabit the haunted isle?
The Children of Hope – Jenny Twist
It is 1963 and Ginny is unmarried and pregnant. Her parents consign her to one of the infamous Mother and Baby Homes which are little more than prisons and workhouses. Will she be able to escape before they come to take her baby away?
The Bull-Dancer – Jenny Twist
The twelve chosen bull-dancers are sailing out of the harbour under a black sail, bound for Crete and the deadly Minotaur, while a mother looks on in anger.
Take the Chance– Tara Fox Hall
A young girl growing up in post-apocalyptic America is determined that she and her sister will survive – whatever it takes!
A Victorian Dolls' House– Jenny Twist
When Violet sees the dolls' house in the antique shop she has to have it. But the Delacorte House is no ordinary dolls' house – and it is definitely not a toy!
Heart's Bells– Tara Fox Hall
Theo and Casey are in love, but so many things stand in their way. They suffer separation and heartbreak but still remain true – until something happens to Theo that changes everything.
Doppelganger– Jenny Twist
When Christine wakes up in a sumptuous white room with silken hangings, she assumes she is in heaven. But she soon finds out she is not in heaven. And before too long she begins to wonder if she is even still Christine.
Voices– Jenny Twist
Olivia and Aidan are telepathic twins. Olivia is used to hearing Aidan in her head, but she is terrified when she hears a new and sinister voice.
Return to Me – Tara Fox Hall
Determined to find the source of the nightly creaking she alone can hear, Sam Reading discovers Harrison Benning, a ghost who becomes corporeal for one night of the year; the summer solstice. Their warm friendship soon becomes powerful love that lasts through decades, tragedies, and even beyond death.
Catch Me If You Can– Jenny Twist
Willy prowls the streets at night, listening to all the sounds of the old town. But does he have a more sinister purpose?
Shades of Grey– Tara Fox Hall
Throughout history there has always been a Seer making sure that the world follows its proper course, keeping the world in balance. Yet when the old Seer prepares to hand over the burden to his apprentice Tim, he realizes too late that Tim has his own ideas of how things should go.
If you'd like a little taste before committing yourself to buy, you could download Away With the Fairies for only 77p from Amazon:

Get them while they're hot!

Jenny Twist's First Self-Published Story – Away With the Fairies
Hi everybody,
I've just launched myself on the self-publishing market with Away With the Fairies. Short story, just shy of 6,000 words. It's a very slightly sinister fairy story. Put it on the cheapest they'd let me – 77p or 99c.
I'd be SO grateful if you would like it and tag it, even more grateful if you download it and ecstatic if you gave it a nice review.
