Coming of Age/Young Adult
Maria Lynn Sanchez discovered an intense liking for elves when she was left on one of their worlds by a strange man called a Wanderer. Terrified at first, shy and unwilling to be bare with the elves when they played in the village pond, the elves worked tirelessly to get her past her shyness and to be open about her miserable past life. Discovering that she was a Princess, on a far off word called Pameiru, she had to risk a dangerous journey, accompanied by her elf friends, just to discover what her life as a princess might be. Wild beasts, dragons and almost falling to her death made her less than thrilled to hear what her father had to say. Acting like a naughty elf, riding a unicorn bare, caused her bottom much pain, and made her wonder what she had been thinking, to even come there…. Perhaps being a Princess wasn’t worth the bother?
A touching journey to find where she belongs and how she’ll be loved.

Snippet of: A Private Crusade
**“Absolutely not!” the young woman, whom Andre had just spied, and guessed to be Lady Katerine shrieked at a frustrated servant girl. “You can’t possibly expect me to wear that when I meet the knight!” she loudly continued on.
“But, milady…you…” the servant managed to say, before being interrupted again by Lady Katerine. That the lady’s back was to Andre, and the knight who was giving him a brief tour of the castle, was plainly noted by the poor girl, who might have wished to advise her mistress of what an ass she was making of herself, but was denied.
“Emmia! You know better than to interrupt me when I’m speaking!”
Looking down contritely, she mumbled, “Yes Milady,” before looking back up, her eyes gleaming mischievously. “I’m sure what you’re wearing now might suffice, especially sense he’s standing behind you!” she triumphantly declared, utterly thrilled to get the chance to observe her difficult mistress suffer the embarrassment she had so richly earned.
“I don’t appreciate being teased either, or having you toy with me!” Katerine hotly declared.
“Oh, I can assure the Lady that her servant is not the least inclined to be teasing her!” Andre declared. The shocked look on Katerine’s face delighted Emmia no end. Spinning around, the Lady’s mouth seemed in danger of being stuck open.
“Sir Andre Eleys de Toulouse, at your service, my dear noblewoman. I presume you are the Lady Katerine?” he asked, as suave and calm as one might imagine.
“I’ll put this in your room, milady!” Emmia whispered, breathless and eager to depart, before her mistress could note the overpowering grin on her face; she was clearly pleased to see Katerine in such a well deserved predicament.**

Snippet of The Jealous One:
**When she was back in the recliner, Caroline asked for more to drink, and when Selena appeared with a glass, she asked another question. “What does my guardian think of me?” she asked, and was delighted to see how quickly Selena blushed.
“She, uh…has…I mean…she…thinks…well, she used to think you were pretty…interesting! Of course, I have no idea what she thinks of your…behavior now!” Selena tried to dance around the question, but Caroline noted this smugly.
“You make a terrible liar! Tell me the truth!” she insisted. Selena rolled her eyes and shrugged, glancing heavenward apologetically.
“When you were young…after you met Mark…we both thought you were…such a naughty little slut!” Selena sighed.
“You disapproved?” Caroline demanded. Selena sighed even more strongly.
“Maybe yours did a little…but I was…jealous,” she admitted, her voice tiny. She covered her face with her hands, to hide her intense blush. “I wanted to be a girl, and get screwed just like you were getting!” she confessed. Caroline was astounded by this pronouncement.
“Some angel! I bet God just loved that!” Caroline declared, clearly disapproving.
Selena grinned wickedly. “Well, now, just where is my naughty little butt currently residing at?” she asked, pointedly, as Caroline’s mouth dropped open.**
