Meet the Characters–Strayborn Blog Tour

Cyrus Sole

[image error]A half-blood girl who has her own mind, and sticks with what she believes, no matter how much others make fun of her.

She’s been bullied and rejected all her life because of what she is, but she won’t let it affect her heart and remains kind towards others. Though she does have moments when she snaps back, and can be blunt and snarky. And she says she’s socially challenged.

7 Things to Know if You’re Planning a Trip to Eartha–Strayborn

A Human’s Guide to Traveling Eartha

Eartha is the story-world of Strayborn, a second Earth, if you will, but one that’s mostly for the mythological human-like races. This guide will help prepare you, should you ever decide to plan a visit.

Excerpt from Strayborn, Blog Tour

Seven-year-old Cyrus Sole picked up the white swan feather, twirling it. This week was going to be a bad week, she could tell. Her stomach always got uneasy when something unpleasant was about to happen.

“Don’t mess with my feather collection.”

Cyrus put the feather down, picked up the brush instead and combed it down her older sister’s auburn hair. Heily sat admiring herself in the metallic mirror, and adjusted a clip once Cyrus finished.

“Your hair’s so pretty, long n’ soft. Wish mine was,...
