Sally noticed something through the window. A feather blowing this way and that in the cold northern wind. She stretched out her hand. The window was small and in order to reach the feather, Sally had to turn sideways and blindly grasp at thin air until... until at last her fingers caught the feather. She pulled her arm in and examined it.
Sally was no expert on birds but the only birds she had seen this high up were eagles so she assumed it was an eagle feather. She stroked it, enjoying its texture. Carefully she placed the feather under her pillow. When the Guardians swept her room they would find it and remove it. But Sally had no place to keep it safe from them.

I had a comment left on one of my freewrites and I have to say, it made my day!
“Hey I got the book and want to tell you how much I enjoyed your story! Loved the twist at the end… you somehow nearly always manage to produce an unexpected twist... Love the care you take with your characters, intertwining them.” @owasco
Voices In The Darkness is now ALSO available as a paperback!
If you want a taster of what is in the book, the video below shows me reading the first 900 words, or so, of my story, The Tell-Tale Dead
