  A Marriage of Necessity - Jasper and Avalon 
  I owe my mother everything.  
  Jasper, the youngest Prince from Lowenthorp, had one driving need - to get away from the castle. After being abducted, abused, and having lost an eye, Jasper believed his only chance of keeping his Mother safe was to be as far away from her as possible. Which was why, when his Mother suggested a Marriage Contract, Jasper agreed. He didn't care who he married, so long as he could keep his Mother safe.  
  I can’t believe I’ve just agreed to marry a man I haven’t met. Maybe there was something in those mushrooms. 
  Avalon, Crown Prince of Cijan, never wanted to marry. He'd lost his fiancé many years before and determined a life filled with duty and travel was enough. Until he heard Jasper's story. Deciding he could be a friend to the young prince, if nothing else, marrying Jasper would at least put a stop to the endless Marriage Contract suggestions his father had been dealing with.  
  A marriage of necessity could work for them both... 
  Magic, whales, and ships that pass in the night. Somehow Avalon and Jasper are drawn together and when Jasper jumps overboard... The heart knows what the heart wants. 
  As an author I rarely include trigger warnings - I rarely write stories that include anything triggering. However for readers sensitive to discussions of abuse, there are two paragraphs in the book where this is alluded to. While I promise this story has a very sweet and happy ending, if this is a trigger for you, then this might not be the story for you.

  Jack Isidore doesn’t see the world like most people. According to his brother-in-law, Charley, he’s a crap artist, 
  obsessed with his own bizarre theories and ideas, which he fanatically records in his many notebooks. He is 
  so grossly unequipped for real life that his sister and brother-in-law feel compelled to rescue him from it. But 
  while Fay and Charley Hume put on a happy face for the world, they prove to be just as sealed off from reality, 
  in thrall to obsessions that are slightly more acceptable than Jack’s but a great deal uglier. When they take Jack 
  into their home, he finds himself in the middle of a maelstrom of suburban angst from which he may not be 
  able to escape. 
  Confessions of a Crap Artist is one of Philip K. Dick’s most accomplished novels, and the only non-science-fiction 
  novel published in his lifetime.

  "Dubliners" is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, chronicling the lives of various characters in Dublin, Ireland, at the turn of the 20th century. Each story offers a snapshot of life, capturing moments of realization, epiphany, and the struggles of everyday Dubliners. Themes of paralysis, the search for meaning, the constraints of society, and the tensions between the desire for escape and the pull of home are recurrent. The stories culminate with "The Dead," considered one of the greatest short stories in the English language.

  Laura Silver Bell

  "She heard the chiming of the silver bells, and she knew the hills were calling her home."
  
  In a secluded village nestled beneath the shadow of ancient, brooding hills, dwells the beautiful and ethereal Laura Silver Bell. Unlike the other village girls, Laura feels a strange, magnetic pull toward the wild, unpeopled places of the moor. But in the world of Le Fanu, the hills have eyes, and the "Good People" (the Sidhe) are not the whimsical fairies of nursery rhymes—they are ancient, predatory, and possessive. When a mysterious and charismatic stranger appears, Laura finds herself caught between the warmth of human love and a chilling supernatural inheritance. It is a tale of enchantment that warns: once you hear the silver bells, you can never truly belong to the world of men again.
  
  The "Dark" Fairy Tale: Le Fanu strips away the Victorian "flower fairy" imagery to return to the roots of Celtic myth. His fairies are tall, silent, and dangerous beings who exist in the "liminal" spaces of the world. The story explores the "Changeling" myth through a sophisticated Gothic lens, making the supernatural feel like a physical, inevitable force of nature.
  
  A Heroine of Two Worlds: Laura is one of Le Fanu's most complex female characters. Her "silver" beauty is both a blessing and a curse, marking her as someone who doesn't quite fit into the mundane life of her village. Her struggle is a poignant metaphor for the outsider—the person who hears a music that no one else can.
  
  The Master of the Eerie: Laura Silver Bell showcases Le Fanu's ability to weave a sense of "wrongness" into the natural landscape. The rustle of the grass, the shifting shadows of the hills, and the sudden silence of the birds all build toward a climax that is as beautiful as it is devastating.
