About this ebook
Haylo has grown up in the human world where each year they celebrate the Christmas season. There is; however, no Christmas in the Elven world. Instead, the Elven females have decided to take the idea and change it into something for their own people. They are not about to tell their Life Mates and sweet hearts though. Keeping their plans secret is proving to be too much fun. The Elven male population can tell something is being plotted. Gabriel is sure of it, Eden is keeping secrets and it doesn’t take them long to figure out what is going on. Sevil confirms it. Watch how the season comes together, the planning, the games, the craftiness practiced, all in the name of bringing the Elves together for the Celebration of Light.

I don’t really know what to say about myself.I have been writing books since before I became a teenager. Most are still hidden in the closet. I used to make up my own stories as a child, everyone used to act them out while we were playing outside. As a teenager someone issued me a challenge. I told her that her stories stunk, she told me to do better.My job growing up was to play guardian to my little brother, keep him safe. That meant I ended up getting into more fights than enough – makes sense now that I write about warriors.My family will try to tell you that I’m not innocent, I have a personality that keeps them on their toes. Over my lifetime and theirs I have earn several nicknames – The Godmother, The Evil Christmas Elf (comes from making my nieces wrap their own Christmas presents), Mistress of Ambush. My favorite response to them when they try to get me into trouble is just to look at them with a wide doe eyed expression and say “Moi?????”I have a seal point Siamese cat named Snoop, named after my favorite cartoon character and hobby. I have a “healthy” but small collection of Snoopy memorabilia. He is a character alright; never met a cat who can talk back like he does. He expects daily dosages of adoration on his schedule when he wants it – not when it’s convenient for me and he HATES snow.I come from a very large family (mostly brothers) and I could outrun the whole works of them (I’m the shortest!). It was called survival.This book has been in the making for a long time now. Over a half a year to write it, about the same amount of time to edit it, and probably about the same amount of time to get the art work and website! I have learned you can’t control the timelines of other people – Murphy likes to step in.So for now I am setting up good luck charms everywhere... didn’t know I had that many stuffed Snoopy’s. *Fingers, legs, toes, eyes and anything else I can crossed*

Without the support and efforts of my friend and editor Eniko, and the continuing contributions of Becca, this book would never have made it to publication. There are days when I feel as if they are the head of my cheer leading squad… they never give up on me, even when I want to give up on myself. To those who continue to follow the continuing story of the Elven Chronicles, I express my most humble gratitude. Your continuing support and faith in my work is appreciated.
CHAPTER I
C’Liandra was up to something. Daroth just didn’t know what. She had been humming some light pretty sounding songs as she wandered about their home with a calculating gleam in her eyes. She had a thoughtful aura about her that shone through every attempt she had made to hide her plotting. There were times when those sapphire blue eyes would settle on him in ways that he recognized as definite signs of a scheme. Yes, he decided, C’Liandra was definitely up to something.
Daroth was so deep in thought, he almost didn’t see Eden or Haylo as they came down the path that led from his house. They giggled at his look of preoccupation and he blinked at them in surprise. Where had they come from? He shook his head in disgust at the question. There was only one place they could have come from. His home. They had been meeting with C’Liandra again. Why was that happening only when he was absent? What were the three sisters up to? Where were their babies?
Hello, Daroth,
Haylo smiled at him. There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes that boded no good. What was even scarier was the pleased look that shone from Eden’s eyes and lit up her whole expression. Eden smiled pleasantly as she echoed her sister’s greeting. There was something about the looks on their faces he felt he could not trust. Something about that look of utter satisfaction on Eden’s face that heralded trouble. The three sisters were up to no good.
Haylo. Eden.
Daroth returned their smiles with a slight bow of acknowledgement. What brings the two of you out on such a cold and frosty day?
Daroth was sure he could play this game with them. He might even come out of it with a little information, if he was lucky.
Daroth wished he knew what it was about the shields that surrounded Eden and Haylo that kept the lives that surrounded them secret. He had never liked that part of their powers. He loved C’Liandra’s sisters, just not the side effects of their talents.
It is a beautiful winter’s day.
Eden declared as she looked around at the picturesque scenes that surrounded them.
Daroth smiled as he attempted to see the village and surrounding territory, as they must be. They were right. Despite the fact that it was the middle of winter, the world about them was beautiful. The trees lost their leaves, their limbs were coated with a fine layer of snow and frost that sparkled in the sunlight. Those that had kept their color, stood out in splendor, lending shades of green to the scene. It was a reminder that spring would bring the leaves back to color their world again.
It was nature’s way of showing the different facets of the seasons of life, and how each meshed with the other during their individual journeys. The older lives sheltering and giving life to the new, as the land gave them life. The air surrounding them was so fresh and clean that it appeared to lend crispness to the snow. It crunched beneath their feet as they walked and resounded through the emptiness that surrounded them as it blanketed the ground.
This is one of my favorite times of the year,
Haylo almost bubbled with happiness. We have so much to be grateful for this year.
It has been a very productive year.
Eden agreed.
Daroth laughed aloud. He could not resist the temptation to respond to that comment in a teasing manner. Both Eden and Haylo stood in front of him showing definite signs of just how productive the year had been. Their pregnancies were in the stages of being well advanced. It would be just a matter of a few months and there would be several more young Elves to care for. His own twins included. His son was about to have siblings and was showing signs of looking forward to it.
It certainly has been productive.
Daroth agreed. "I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing the fruits of our
