    This is a tragedy. 
    It’s also a love story with threads of hope. 
    But it’s important that you go into it expecting a tragedy. 
    In The Half-Light Chronicles, nearly every book and story references Lovers’ Falls, a waterfall near the center of Vendaras inhabited by sprites. It’s named for the skeletons embracing at the cave’s entrance, and its origin is a favorite story among bards and storytellers because it can be tweaked to emphasize various morals, making it a warning or inspiration, depending on the audience’s need. 
    But this version is the true story, the one that tells just how the skeletons got there (hence the tragedy) and how their story connects to others you may know.

    Life can be difficult.  We all experience hurdles, obstacles and problems that get in the way and may limit our opportunities.  But we can usually count on the steadfast and loving support of others.  We get that comfort from our parents and pass it on through the generations.  Sadly, some will not get that unconditional love and bond from their onset or their early years.  Growing up as an orphan is to know you are different and, on some levels at least, alone.  Surviving and thriving with this can damage a life or be used as fuel to achieve a whole, rich, and nurtured life. 
     
    In this volume our authors use this as their theme as they construct moving stories from bleak beginnings to lives with surprising outcomes.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.
