The Tales of Tanglewood: The Second Tale Coming Soon

The Tales of Tanglewood blog focuses on two things:

One: postings from the Scribe, he who has been given the task of putting the many Tales of Tanglewood to paper, and instilling them within the Well of Knowledge, so that the history of the 'wood may always be available to all of the fey who require it.

Two: News and relevant topics, such as Irish and Celtic folklore, interesting facts and websites used for research for the book, and even music, recipes, and other things that I, in all my wisdom, deem important enough to place here.

For more information regarding the book, The Tales of Tanglewood, please visit the website to learn more about Colin and the other characters in the 'wood, and to download a sample of the first 3 chapters for free.

The Second Tale Coming Soon

The Tales of Tanglewood:
The Curse of Satyr Stump

Colin, Blood of the Fey, returns to Tanglewood shortly before Sahwen night, a time when the magic of the 'wood has a strange effect on all things within it. Things have entered the ‘wood that should not be there, and the pathways are no longer safe.

The blackberries have spoiled, a pooka roams the ‘wood, and a strong calling pulls Colin close to Satyr Stump, where Fionn the satyr has been cursed by Grainne, the Grey Lady.

Tasked to face the dark druidess and help break the curse upon Fionn, Colin seeks help from the druid Bairtlemead Muffingrow, the ferrish Ailfrid, and the elfin girl Deidre. But it will be the satyr chieftain himself who joins Colin, seeking to help restore another piece of Tanglewood that has been claimed by deiney corruption.

But the Grey Lady will not yield so easily, and Colin and Fionn are both nearly powerless in her domain. Colin learns very quickly that during Sahwen, Tanglewood can be a very dangerous place indeed.

Sahwen is the Gaelic pronunciation of Halloween, which is actually spelled "Samhain."
