y separately published work icon Fairies and Felicitations Eleanor Beresford , Australia : Eleanor Beresford , 2015 9053545 2015 single work novella fantasy young adult

'Anne has always thought of herself as middling. Middling looks, middling position in the form, middling magical Gift and just a middling curve to the tip of her ears.

'Her best friend, Lady Emmeline Eversleigh, commonly known as Kitty, is not middling anything. And when Kitty drags Anne into playing a Saint Valentine's Day prank of truly wicked–and magical–proportions on one of the prefects, Anne finds herself in more than a middling muddle of trouble.

'A stand alone prequel novelette of 10,000 words in Scholars and Sorcery, a series of magical YA school stories set in an alternate mid-20th century world of magical gifts, magical beasts, and a dollop of sapphic romance.'

'Easy-going tomboy Charley Forest, a girl with the fortunate Gift of communicating with magical animals, is looking forward to a quiet final year at Fernleigh Manor boarding school. Her peace is short-lived, however, when she's burdened with the unwelcome responsibilities of Game Captainship and finds herself caught up in a deadly rivalry with a new girl...a girl with a devastatingly charming Gift.

'A secret rule-breaking scheme, an unforeseen second magical talent, and a budding romance only add to the turmoil. Charley soon discovers that a quiet last year is the last thing she's going to get.

'Set in an alternative mid twentieth century England full of fabled beasts and humans with magical abilities, Pegasi and Prefects is the first in a series of traditional school stories spiced with a dash of magic and a sweet dollop of romance.'

'Set in an alternative mid twentieth century England full of fabled beasts and humans with magical abilities, Elves and Escapades is the second in a series of traditional school stories spiced with a dash of magic and a sweet dollop of romance.

'It's difficult enough being a Senior Prefect, especially when your rival is using magic to break school rules. When some girls at school get a little too close to old, dark magic, Charley finds that there is far more at stake in enforcing school rules than making sure the hockey team doesn't disgrace themselves.

'When the Christmas holidays change everything between herself and the girl she loves, Charley finds herself taking greater risks to fight for her future–and for the lives of friends and rivals alike.

'A YA fantasy school story with a sapphic twist.'
