GENRE: Young Adult Fiction

BLURB:
Petir
takes a rough tumble in the Connecticut woods, but awakens in the middle of old
England. His instinct to freak out is tempered by the arrival of a fair maiden
wearing a bow...and arrow. Throwing caution to the wind, Petir decides he has
nothing to lose by pursuing Maid Rianne. But when she is captured by the enemy,
a geek with no ability to defend himself must find a way to rescue the fair
maiden.

EXCERPTS (Your Exclusive Excerpt):
“Blimey, ‘e’s not one of us, is ’e?”
“Nay, not one of us. Look at ‘is clothes.”
“Is ‘e dead?” The British-accented voices murmuring from
above began to register, but the snuffling wet nose by Petir’s ear drew his
immediate attention. A groan escaped him in response to what felt like a toe
nudging him none too gently in his aching ribs.
“Hah! I told you ‘e was not dead!” cried a voice as the
offending toe was removed.
I guess I fell asleep after all. He opened his eyes just a
slit, grimacing through the glare of early morning sunlight. Confused, he
slammed them shut.
What the h*ll? Elves? Or, at least a bunch of kids dressed
like elves. British elves, from the sound of them. He peeked again, then scrunched
his eyes closed. And a three-legged dog.
The wet snuffling resumed near his other ear. Peter swatted
at the offending beast. A myriad of aches and pains identified his injuries,
each vying for his attention. He dropped his elbow across his face with another
groan.
“Sit, Trio!” someone commanded. The enthusiastic snuffling
ceased.
A three-legged dog named Trio? Even through his pain and
confusion, he found that one funny.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I’m DEBORAH
ANN DAVIS, and I write Quirky New/Young Adult Fiction with a Twist. I began
writing when searching for inspiration for my 5th grade English Journal. Lo and
behold, my world was full of funny tales just waiting to be told. It never
occurred to me to pursue writing, not even when I discovered my flare for
telling stories at college parties.
After a
string of undergrad majors, I realized I could reach a captive audience EVERY
DAY in the public school system. As you probably know, teenagers love to laugh,
and what could be more entertaining than Biology, Earth Science, and
Environmental Science? I jumped into teaching with both feet and loved it for
27 years. It came with an added bonus: Once teens know you like to laugh, they
want to make you laugh. Go figure.
Twelve years
after our first kiss, I reunited with, and married my childhood sweetheart.
Together we coached our daughter's AAU Basketball Team, which swept States two
years in a row. (Yay!) Then, for several years, our daughter and our money went
to college.
During a
particularly nasty bout of Lyme disease, I turned to Fitness to boost my
Health, and to Writing to boost my Happiness. Currently, I am a healthy and
happy Educational Speaker and a Certified Personal Trainer who loves to write.
We presently
reside on a lovely lake in Connecticut. When I’m not writing novels for my Love
of Fairs series, I enjoy dabbling with living a sustainable life, dancing,
playing outside, and laughing really hard every day. I also promote increasing
movement throughout your day as Wiggle Writer in my Merry Meddling blog at
