The beginning reminded me of Der Erlkoenig by Goethe--specifically the wind howling like voices.

I love the point of view in this--that all we have is the one, desperate woman.

Great play by the faerie child and appropriate that the mother only found more trouble in trying to trick the fae.

Thank you! Trying out the POV was the most interesting part of this story for me.

Ok, I ordered Mistwood (used) and am looking forward to reading it!

Yay! I hope you enjoy it.

This story was really good. I enjoyed the viewpoint and the use of Fairie.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it.

I enjoy how the stream-of-consciousness viewpoint adds a bit of surreality to the story, and how the reader only learns very gradually what happened.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was going for. :)

Love this story. The stream of thought is wonderfully done.
I just wanted to say that I loved Mistwood, and can't wait to get my hands on your next book.

Yay, thank you! Just one more week... not that I'm counting... ;)
