 Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled between emerald hills and shimmering lakes, there lived a mystical black cat named Luna. With fur as dark as the midnight sky and eyes that sparkled like emeralds, she was no ordinary feline. The villagers whispered tales of her magical abilities, claiming she could grant wishes, heal the sick, and even predict the weather.


Luna roamed freely through the village, often seen lounging on the sun-drenched stones of the town square or perched atop the ancient oak tree that stood proudly at the center of the village. Children adored her, believing she brought good luck, while the elders treated her with respect, for they knew of her enchantments.

One chilly autumn evening, a terrible storm descended upon the village. The winds howled, and rain poured down in torrents, causing the river to swell dangerously. The villagers gathered in the town hall, fearful for their homes and loved ones. In the midst of their worry, Luna appeared, her eyes glowing softly in the dim light.

With a flick of her tail, she leaped onto the table, capturing everyone's attention. The villagers watched in awe as she began to weave her magic. She circled the room, her paws creating intricate patterns in the air. Suddenly, the storm outside began to calm, the winds dying down, and the rain easing to a gentle drizzle.

As she finished her dance, a warm glow enveloped the room, and the villagers felt a sense of peace wash over them. Luna, having quelled the storm, turned to the villagers and meowed softly, as if to say that they must not lose hope, for magic was always around them.

In the days that followed, the villagers sought to show their gratitude. They began leaving offerings of fish and cream at the foot of the oak tree, and in return, Luna continued to watch over them. She helped farmers grow bountiful crops, guided lost travelers, and even brought joy to those who were sad.

But Luna had a secret. On nights when the moon was full, she would gather with other mystical creatures in a hidden glade deep within the forest. There, they shared stories, laughter, and magic, ensuring that the balance of the world remained intact.

As the years passed, the village thrived under Luna's watchful eye. When she felt her time was nearing its end, she chose a young girl named Elara to be her apprentice. With Luna's guidance, Elara learned the ancient ways of magic, and the villagers knew that the legacy of the mystical black cat would live on through her.

And so, the legend of Luna, the magical black cat, continued to inspire generations, reminding everyone that magic exists in the simplest of acts and that sometimes, all it takes is a little faith and a flick of a tail to change the world.

New release April 17th, 2017


Charlotte set down the heavy box on the old painted table. She glanced down at her shirt in disgust, trying to wipe away the dust. She looked around. The place was littered with boxes. The furniture had to be older than her mother. Charlotte herself was nearly twenty-four years old. The furniture looked much older than that judging by the peeling paint of the table. She could only hope that paint didn't also contain lead.
Well, there could be no hope for it, beggars couldn't also be choosers, she thought with despair. Especially not her. And more importantly, not right now....
Apparently, her new landlord felt the same way—since the murder next door. She'd been advertising this little upstairs apartment for weeks, now, but she'd said she hadn’t even received a single bite. She'd also said that she would have cleaned the place up, but she could no longer get up the stairs.
Apparently, she hadn’t been able to get up those stairs for years, Charlotte thought, looking around.
She didn’t know how she felt about the murder next door, but she didn’t have much of a choice in that, either. She’d agreed to clean and paint up here, and turn it into an apartment of sorts in exchange for her living there for the next six months.
This would give her a chance to find a decent job. And that's what she needed. Just a chance....
