Last week in Briar's dream, she is standing on the landing staring up at a stained-glass window of a Claddagh and rose.
Snippet of a work in progress:
Her gaze shifted to the inscription below the stem of the rose. "Love, Loyalty and Friendship I give to thee. For now, for always thru eternity," she murmured.
Her finger hovered over the words as an inkling of a memory flashed. She knew this saying, had read it or… someone had spoken the words to her. She placed her hand on the cool panel, but gasped and stepped back in surprise as the stained-glass warped and shifted as if being melted away. Then a bright light blinded her and she covered her eyes. When the room fell dark again, she peeked at the window expecting the glass to be gone and the night air seeping through the vacant space, but no air feathered over her with whispers of the night. Frowning, she stepped closer once more. The stained-glass window no longer adorned the pane but clear glass now stood in its place.

Yo Ho Ho and Buttered Rum Shortbread, a delectable summer short story, where the recipe for mayhem will stir up all kinds of trouble for Jack and Sirena in Grimm Nitch.
Sirena's mother returns home after abandoning her family fifteen years prior, with a Merrow Prince, expecting Sirena to leave her home to live with him beneath the sea.
Meeting another Merrow is surreal but swimming away to live happily ever after in an ocean world is not as sweetly tempting as Sirena once dreamed. Where the mer-prince goes, Jack cannot follow. Giving up the life she has with Jack is like giving up sweets—forever.
At the Buccaneer Bash, the prince will reveal what he's cooked up for Sirena, but he's about to underestimate Jack's skills, who has no trouble preparing a plan of his own.

Nice little ghost-story-ish mystery building here.
Just bought The Gryphon. Looks good. 🙂
