    I'm very much into fantasy/sword and sorcery stories, as a matter of fact, I've just started a poetic epic series I call, "The Aurora Chronicles." Below is the link to chapter five and the other four preceding chapters.

    My dear friend, I am just recovering from some very painful surgery. This contest is right up my alley. I love the tales of Avalon, have even done some art-work on Camelot! I think I might have a prewrite that I hoe you will like. My muse is clouded by pain killers, but I did write a poem that is nostalgic and full of poignant love. Let me see if I can find it. I iss you and often think of you. Do you have a site with your crystal jewelry with perhaps some dangle earrings? I would love to buy a pair.
    Love to my mystical sister, who lives and loves in such a peaceful way. I sent you an email, but it bounced back to me?

    Love, LInda

      hello linda,
      so happy your surgery went well ...
      good to have you back ... my email-address is : mariananda@free.fr please try again ...
      I actually only make crystal-pendants, don't know how to make earrings ... would love to make you a second pendant with different stones this time, if you like ... but you know that I don't sell them ... it will have to be a gift
      hope you find a poem for my contest ...
