    About this ebook

    Seventeen-year-old Sarah, who lives in Massachusetts during the 1600’s, would rather become a mid-wife like her late mother rather than marry one of the
    knavish boys in the settlement and darn his socks for the rest of her days.

    Sarah’s life changes forever when a young man is found naked out in the snow, with no tracks leading up to him and no signs of struggle on the body. Villagers in
    the small Puritan community gossip over how he came to be there. Though seventeen-year-old Sarah jokes he must have fallen from the sky, it would be
    impossible for him to have done so. When it’s discovered the stranger is alive and thought to be a simpleton, he’s taken in by Sarah’s father.

    Sarah discovers this man who fell from the heavens is anything but simple. The mystery of the stranger deepens when he calls himself the Bearer of the Morning
    Star. In a time of religion and witchcraft, these words offer one possibility; he must be the devil.

    Still grieving for the death of family members, and searching for her own sense of self in a world of religious rules, Sarah struggles with the blossoming feelings
    she has for this stranger. Can this man who heals the sick, talks to animals, and claims not to believe in the devil survive in the strict environment of the Puritans?
    And can Sarah let herself love him, despite knowing he will soon need to leave her?

    Sarina Dorie

    As a child, Sarina Dorie dreamed of being an astronaut/archeologist/fashion designer/illustrator/writer. Later in life, after realizing this might be an unrealistic goal, Sarina went to the Pacific NW College of Art where she earned a degree in illustration. After realizing this might also be an unrealistic goal, she went to Portland State University for a master’s in education to pursue the equally cut-throat career of teaching art in the public school system. After years of dedication to art and writing, most of Sarina’s dreams have come true; in addition to teaching, she is a writer/artist/ fashion designer/ belly dancer. She has shown her art internationally, sold art to Shimmer Magazine for an interior illustration, and another piece is on the April 2011 cover of Bards and Sages. Sarina’s novel, Silent Moon, won second place in the Duel on the Delta Contest, hosted by River City RWA and the Golden Rose contest hosted by Rose City Romance Writers. Silent Moon won third place in the Winter Rose Contest hosted by the Yellow Rose RWA and third place in Ignite the Flame Contest hosted by Central Ohio Fiction Writers. Now, if only Jack Sparrow asks her to marry him, all her dreams will come true. www.sarinadorie.com You can find more of Sarina Dorie’s work online at the following webzines: “Zombie Psychology,” Untied Shoelaces of the Mind http://www.untiedshoelacesofthemind.com/Issue5/psych.php “Losing One’s Appetite,” Daily Science Fiction http://dailysciencefiction.com/fantasy/Monsters/sarina-dorie/losing-ones-appetite “Worse Than a Devil,” Crossed Genres http://crossedgenres.com/archives/035-dark-comedy/worse-than-a-devil-by-sarina-dorie/ “A Ghost’s Guide to Haunting Humans,” Whidbey Student Choice award http://whidbeystudents.com/2011/03/01/new-for-march/ The following stories are soon to be released, “That Stupid Dragon Rider” to the ROAR 5 Anthology, “Greener on the Other Side” to Allasso and Blackboard Galaxy to Untied Shoelaces of the Mind.
