Book Description
Morgen of Avalon She was King Arthur's healer, His love, The Faerie Queen destined to help him maintain peace throughout the land... Britannia is at long last a peaceful nation thanks not only to Arthur's successful military campaign, but also his clever negotiations with Cedric, the Saxon King. Unfortunately, the price for this long awaited freedom is steep. Arthur offers Morgen's daughter, Eliana, as a future bride for Cynric, the Saxon Prince. Few people know that Eliana suffers from a curse evoked by the lascivious Morgause, and that her life speeds well in advance of a normal pace. Desperate to safeguard the child from everyone who threatens her existence, Morgen spirits Eliana into an enchanted tower that hides its ever changing face from the world of mankind. There Eliana finds herself cut off from human interaction, witnessing life through the medium of a magical mirror until a dashing knight captures her attention and she longs for more. Will Eliana linger forgotten and alone? Somehow Morgen must lift the curse, even if it means pitting herself against Morgause and the forces of darkness. What of the love that blossoms between the High King and Faerie Queen -- despite their grievances? Will it finally reveal the wealth of their forgotten past? When King Cedric and his son arrive at court, Morgen is forced to make a dreadful choice. Can she support Arthur's peace treaty; allow him to join Eliana and Cynric in marriage? Or will she offer Eliana the chance to experience true love, even if it means she must sacrifice herself in the process? Set amidst the wonders of King Arthur's Camelot, Child of Destiny, is the second installment in author Carol Weakland's romantic fantasy series, Morgen of Avalon. Secrets are revealed in this magical utopia that boasts dragons, faeries, the legendary court of miracles, not to mention the long awaited return of Merlin and a re-imagining of Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Lady of Shallott."

For James Arthur Stuart is not the commoner he has always believed himself to be-he is Arthur, the legendary King of Summer, reborn. But the road to England's salvation is dangerous, with powerful enemies waiting in ambush. For Arthur is not the only one who has returned from the mists of legend. And Merlin's magic is not the only sorcery that has survived the centuries.

Book Description
Some cats need nine lives to make a difference. Avalon only needed one. From Amazon bestselling author Vanessa Morgan, Avalon is the heartwarming and once-in-a-lifetime love story of a girl and her neurotic Turkish Van cat. With humor, the author details how Avalon made other creatures cringe in distress whenever he was around, how he threw her dates out by means of special techniques, and how he rendered it almost impossible for her to leave the house. Avalon was so incorrigible that even her landlord ordered her to get rid of him. But beneath Avalon's demonic boisterousness, Vanessa recognized her own flaws and insecurities, and she understood that abandoning Avalon would be the worst she could do to him. Thanks to her unswerving loyalty, Avalon transformed into a tender feline, and even landed a major role in a horror movie. In turn, Avalon made it his mission to be there for his human companion. Avalon is a memoir for anyone who has ever been obsessively in love with a pet.
