Archers Beach

Two tales inspired by the magical Maine coast: "Emancipated Child" features Jason Thibodeau, a young man who is challenged to accept his power, and his destiny, in the tiny coastal town of Surfside. "How Nathan Archer Came to be a Prince of the Land of the Flowers," tells the story of a young woman who puts duty before all.

Archers Beach is a more-than-slightly battered resort town on the coast of Maine, but there's something a little bit special about it. Magic works there, sort-of, and the trenvay the beings that guard the land and the people work their own kind of enchantment. Includes two short stories, "The Gift of Music “and” The night don't seem so lonely."

Two stories touching on Archers Beach, Maine, scene of the novels Carousel Tides, Carousel Sun, and Carousel Seas, that explore the "what came after" or "what came before" in the lives of several characters from the novels. Will-o'-the-Wisp is a contemporary fantasy story about love and the changes it brings. The Wolf's Bride is set in The Land of the Flowers, and explores the background of Kael, called The Wolf.

Where the sea isn't the only magic working, and the Guardian just the first of many spirits of small places who partake of and protect the Land.Here for the first time, are all of the Archers Beach short stories, collected into one volume.
