Hello Wonderful Readers! I’d like to introduce you to my alter-ego, Eleri Drake (psst! She’s really me!). Eleri writes historical paranormal romance usually involving witches, demons, curses, and ancient legends. But never fear, as with all romances, there will be a happy ending!
The first series published under Eleri Drake will be The Dragonfly Chronicles. The series revolves around four sisters, whose mother, to save them from the demons hunting her, hides each of her daughters somewhere in time and with one of her magical powers. So each book takes place with a different sister, in a different time period, and she must learn to use her special magical power. Of course the magic doesn’t work with their soul mates, the hero of each book. The sisters must come back together in the last book to battle the demons who plan to harvest their magical powers to snip the threads of time, destroying history and remaking the world under their evil.
Some of you may remember these books from years ago. Technically they were the first books I ever published. I’ve gotten the rights back to them, so I’ve had new covers made, and I’m revising each book before re-releasing them one at a time, starting in 2023. With over a decade of constant writing under my belt, I feel like these revised stories will be even richer than the first versions. I’m so excited to share them with you again! Heather/Eleri
Teacup Tuesday
This pretty, delicate yellow rose teacup came from my grandmother.
On the bottom:
Ridgway Potteries Ltd.
1789 Royal Adderley
Fine Bone China
England
There are handwritten numbers on the bottom of most of my bone china cups. Does anyone know what they might mean? This one has something that looks like a # sign with 1439 after it.

Teapot Monday
This is a large, sturdy teapot painted with bright colors. Just looking at it makes me happy. It doesn`t have any markings underneath. I bought it at a discount store, and I love to use it in the summer.

Bring It Back? (Friday Feature - Old words that we should maybe bring back)
Today`s word is La. Just la.
Yes, it is used when singing songs from The Sound of Music, but it was also a form of interjection to mean surprise, grief, or mild wonder. Like saying "Oh" with eyebrows raised.
La was used this way in Anglo-Saxon times, which range from 400 AD - 1066 AD when William the Conqueror well...conquered. I think I`ll work this into my vocabulary while talking to my kids first. They might think it`s some X-Gen slang, when in actuality it is much older.

Teacup Tuesday
The perfect shamrock teacup to go with my St. Patrick`s Day teapot that I featured yesterday. This one came from my grandmother. It is an Aynsley Bone China teacup made in England.
My tea buddy, Kathy, always uses this cup when she comes over for tea. It`s so fun to have a number of teacups from which guests can choose.
Do you ever have someone over for wine or tea or just to chat? Building community with those people you like and with whom you feel safe is very important <3
