    LeAnn Mathis

    The world itself is an inspiration. My Dad was in the army so my family got to see quite a bit of it growing up. I've taken that variety into my writing and I create stories based on whatever inspires me at the moment. Questions about my lunch meal, a Hawaiian Place of Refuge, and things my kids do have all been transformed, and I hope you enjoy what they grew into. Happy Reading. -LeAnn Mathis (The pen name for Stephanie Neilan when the books are just for fun.)

      Chapter 1

      When I was younger, I used to love watching my mother dance. I would sneak out of my room and watch her from the upper railing as she glided around the room. She seemed to float on air when she sarabanded with my father, and she always jumped higher and twirled faster than anyone else when they were doing a country jig. When she danced, energy and joy could be seen in every step and twist of the arm.

      I wanted to dance just like her when I grew up. I practiced for hours every day. My partner and I swirled, dipped, and trotted through the steps I had seen my mother do.

      We only stopped when a servant would cut in. After bowing to each other, I would hand him over so he could go back to his regular life as a broom.

      Life was perfect.

      Then my mother got sick. She didn’t have the energy to
