Shasta's Surprise Guest

I found this guy hanging around my blog. When I asked him why he was there, he said that he was waiting to be interviewed.

 I huffed at him, folded my arms and said, "You were not in C.L. Collar's book, The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth, so why would I interview you?"
Do you know what he said? Now Shhhh, Don't tell anyone I told you this, especially C.L. Collar.
He said he was in C.L. Collar's new book The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and Destiny's Diamond.

I got soooo excited! I started to ask him a question about the new book, but then I remembered who he was and told him he would have to come back after Destiny's Diamond was released. If he was truly in Destiny's Diamond, then he would be the first fairy interviewed. He was not happy and left with a grumble and a sour note from his reed. 

That trickster Pan will have to show me proof before he gets an interview on my blog, but won't it be exciting if he does!

 

Meet the Fairy ~ Gump: The Dwarf

Hello! Shasta here! What day is it? No not hump day, it is Gump Day!
On this Meet the Fairy Wednesday, you are in for a special treat. 
My good friend 
Gump: The Dwarf is here.
 I am sure since all of you are 
familiar with dwarfs from your Snow White movie that you have some awesome questions for him so let's get started.

Shasta ~ Hi Gump. We are going to have so much fun with this interview. Thank you for coming.

Gump ~ Hi Ho there Shasta. Yes, we are. I can't wait to see what your mortal audience wants to ask me. So, what do you say, let's get started.

Shasta ~ Just like a dwarf, right down to business. Okay. Do you look like the dwarfs in the movie?

Gump ~ Well sort of, you know not all dwarfs look alike. Just like mortals we are all different. Our average height is about four foot which works well for us since we work in mines. Our arms and legs are very muscular because of the work we do. Making magical weapons takes a great amount of power and skill. Our clothing is simple, a jacket to keep us warm, comfortable pants and a magical cap to protect our heads from falling rocks. We don't need much more than that.

Shasta ~ Well that sounds very practical. It would be hard to work in a cave all dressed up. I myself prefer comfort also. Now your next question.
The mortals would like to know how you make your magical weapons?

Gump ~ Each dwarf has a special skill. Some of us work with the metals of the ground, others with the precious and semi-precious stones that we mine. The songs we sing while we work plant the magic into each piece. We really never know until the weapon is finished, what magic it will possess or how powerful it will be. After each weapon is completed it is our duty to make sure it is guarded well and kept out of the wrong hands.

Shasta ~ So that is why you sing and whistle while you work. I always wondered about that. That is so cool!

Gump ~ It also helps make the day go by faster, we love our work, but also enjoy our time off to eat, drink and be merry.

Shasta ~  Another party in Fey. We do know how to have fun here. LOL. Now here is your final question. Is it true that if you go out into the daylight you will turn into a toad.

Gump ~ Ho, ho, no. That is ridiculous. It is witches that turn into toads and they only do it when they want to. That way they can give mortals warts and blame it on the innocent toad. We do use toads as our messengers though, so maybe that is where the misunderstanding occurred. You see, toads 
live as we do. They burrow into the ground and also live on top, so they are the perfect way for us to send messages back and forth.

Shasta ~ That is amazing! I have learned so much from our little chat and I'm sure that our mortal audience has too. Thank you so much, Gump for sharing your knowledge with us today. 

Gump ~ You are quite welcome, my dear. I had a jolly good time. Now, back to work.

Shasta ~ There he goes, sinking right into the floor. I never get used to seeing him pass through the soil just like we do through air. It is awesome. 
Our time is up. Remember, if you have any questions for Gump just place them in the comments below. Bye, bye until next time and remember we are always having Fun in Fey, so come visit us often.

Meet the Fairy ~ Utopia: The Queen of the Tuatha De Danann

Hiddy Hi! It is me, Shasta! I am so nervous. On this week's Meet The Fairy, I get to interview a Fairy Queen! Yes! Queen Utopia has agreed to be interviewed today. She is so smart and gorgeous and magical and Here She Is! I see her spinning green and golden lights swirling in the doorway.

Shasta ~ Hello your Majesty, welcome to my blog. I hope you had a pleasant journey.

Utopia ~ Hello, Shasta. It was very pleasant, and please call me Utopia. We don't need to be so formal. I am here to have a nice, relaxed chat with your mortal friends.

Shasta ~ You are too kind, your Maj... Utopia. It was so good of you to come.

Utopia ~ I was happy to be invited. I have always loved mortals and the way they think. Now, I am ready to get started.

Shasta ~ Alright, here is your first question. The mortals would like to know all about your fairy troop.

Utopia ~  My troop is known as the Tuatha De Danann (Tootha day danan). Our name derives from the goddess Danu - The Mother Goddess whose divine waters give all life. Our power is great, for we possess many magic talisman. 
We are one of the oldest fairy troops in Fey.

Shasta ~ So how long has your fairy troop been around?

Utopia ~ Since before the keeping of time.

Shasta ~ Wow, I can't even imagine how long that would be. What role do you play in Fey?

Utopia ~ We are one of the strongest Fey fairy families. We try to keep order amongst the other fairies and keep the dark Fey at bay. We do not use our powers on others unless it is needed. For the most part, we try to keep Fey happy and carefree.

Shasta ~ I have heard of all of the fabulous parties your troop has arranged. I will have to attend one sometime.

Utopia ~  Yes, you should. We are quite proud of our parties and everyone is invited, even mortals.

Shasta ~ Oh, my. The mortals are saying that they are afraid to go to your parties for fear that they would not be allowed to return to mortal ground.

Utopia ~ That is just plain silly. But then again, who would want to return to mortal ground after seeing the wonders of our fabulous Fairyland? Their own minds would trap them here, not us.

Shasta ~ I can see your point. They are ready to slip away from this topic. It still scares them a little bit. Now they would like to know what you look like?

Utopia ~ That depends on what I want to look like, but my true form is that of the fairy queen.  My hair is golden and I usually wear it down around my face. My eyes are emerald and my gown is green silk and covered with dancing yellow and green lights, which swirled around me constantly. I wear a small crown adorned with a giant emerald. I am petite, but  definitely not delicate.

Shasta ~ You are truly beautiful. 

Utopia ~ Why, thank you, my dear.

Shasta ~ My mortal audience has one last question for you. They would like to know why the fairy counsel picked Katie, Billy, Donnie and Ariel to be the Chosen Ones? 

Utopia ~ Well, I really wish I could tell them, but that would make me a spoiler and I never want to be called that. They will just have to read the book to find the answer they seek.

Shasta ~ I knew they couldn't trick you into telling them that. You are much too wise. Is there anything you would like to tell our mortal fans before you go?

Utopia ~ Yes. All of you will really enjoy reading about our land in The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth. And there is so much more for you to learn about us in C.L. Collar's next book. It is very exciting!
Now, I must take my leave. "By the Tuatha De Danann, By the star, moon, sun and land, with the power of the night, I go to party through the night!  Evah Htiaf Ni Yef!”

Shasta ~ Wow, she certainly knows how to make an exit. I think after we sign off I will go and join the party. You know the drill. If you have any questions for Utopia, just post them in the comments below. Until next Wednesday we will be as always Having Fun in Fey! You can come join us if you dare. LOL.

 


 

Meet the Fairy ~ Blaze

Hello! It is a new year and with it a new Wednesday Meet the Fairy!

Today we are going to meet Blaze, the Sun Fairy.

He has been waiting for you and keeping my blog warm on this cold chilly day.
He is kind of handy to have around, not to mention that fantastic brilliant smile of his.
I can see all of you mortals girls out there getting all a fluster, and I must say I can't blame you.

Now let's start our interview. 

Shasta ~ Hello Blaze, are you ready to answer some questions from your adoring mortal audience? 

Blaze ~You flatter me, Shasta. I am sure these mortals girls all have wonderful boyfriends to keep them happy, but I am always available to warm their hearts if it is needed. A nice walk in the sunshine always helps heal the heart and yes I am more than ready to answer any of their questions.

Shasta ~ All Right, let's get started. Here is your first question. The mortals would like to know just what a Sun Fairy does?

Blaze ~ Well we do a lot of things. Our biggest job is to keep time running smoothly by keeping the sun on track.  The oldest Sun Fairy is in charge of this important duty. He trains all of the young Sun Fairies and makes sure everyone does their job. All Sun Fairies are required to take this training.

Shasta ~ Wow that sounds like a very important and difficult job. Do you help keep the sun on track?

Blaze ~ Not unless there is an emergency. Each Sun Fairy must devote their days to taking care of the sun until the sun has traveled through the sky one hundred Fey years. Then we are released from our post to do whatever it is we like best.

Shasta ~ My, that is a very long time. The mortals would like to know what you have chosen to do.

Blaze ~ I have chosen to be one of the caretakers of the Fey. I look for any problems that lurk in the realm and do my best to solve them.

Shasta ~ And just how do you solve them? What magic do you use?

Blaze ~ I use the magic of the sun. If something bad is trying to run away from me, I set  my blaze on high and make it too hot for him to run away. If the culprit can stand the heat then I do the opposite and hide the sun until it is freezing and so dark that eyes cannot see. These are just a few of my powers. They are the ones that we use most.

Shasta ~ My that is very powerful magic. What else do you do in Fey?

Blaze ~ I keep close contact with all of the nature fairies. They let me know when they need a bit more sunshine to perk up their plants or a little less to keep them from drying out. The Druids also keep me posted as to the welfare of Fey. We all work together to keep nature beautiful and prosperous. 

Shasta ~ That is a very important job and there are soo many forest in Fey. I am sure your mission keeps you busy most of the time.

Blaze ~ It really isn't that hard. Most of the time things run nicely and I find I have plenty of time to gaze in on mortals and watch them enjoying our work. It is very fulfilling. 

Shasta ~ Did you hear that girls? Blaze has been checking all of you out. Ha, ha ha. I swear, Blaze, stop blushing, you are making it as hot as Hades in here. 

Blaze ~ I am not blushing, Shasta. I am merely basking in the glow of their love. Now I really must be on my way. I have really enjoyed my chat with all of you lovely young ladies. Just remember to keep those beautiful smiles on your faces and all will be well, because each mortal smile is filled with sunshine.

Shasta ~ Oh Blaze, you are such a sweetie. Thank you so much for stopping by. I do believe your sunbeam is here awaiting your departure. 

Blaze ~ Good bye to all. I will see you in the morning dew.

Shasta ~ Wasn't he just the best guest ever? If you have any questions for Blaze, I am sure he will be more than pleased to answer them for you. You can just post them in the comments below. 

And remember to come visit us often. We are always Having Fun in Fey!

Welcome to "Meet The Fairy!" (Luna)

"Hello everyone! I am reposting the first Meet the Fairy Interview for our new fans that got their free e-book of The McCory Chronicles: Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth. You can see all of our meet the Fairy Interviews by clicking on the Meet the Fairy Tab in the menu bar. More interviews will be coming with the new year!


Our first guest is a very special fairy. She is well known in dreamland and has often aided The Sandman with his work. Without further delay please welcome Luna, The Moon Fairy, to our blog.

Shasta ~ "Hello Luna, we are so pleased to have you as a guest on our blog.

Luna ~ "I am very happy to be here Shasta. I really enjoy interacting with mortals. You know my daughter Arial lived amongst them for a very long time."

Shasta ~ "Yes, Luna, I have heard Arial's story, but we would like to know a little bit more about you. One of the questions I am being asked is what do you look like?"

Luna ~ "Well, I am a  petite, delicate looking fairy. I usually wear a shimmering silver gown made out of moonlight, but sometimes, I must confess, I like to wear midnight blue. It brings out the starlight in my eyes. I have lovely iridescent blue wings that aid me in my visits to mortal grounds. My hair is long and ebony in color. I have a very pale complexion. I am afraid moonlight does not give you a very good tan."  

Shasta~ "I think your pale skin looks gorgeous against your black hair. Tans are highly overrated.  Now let's get on to your next question. Mortals are very inquisitive creatures. Can you tell them how your magic works?

Luna ~ " It is really very simple. Moon Fairies glide on moonbeams into the dreams of mortals. Once there we can do many things. We can put suggestions into their heads, or we can give them intuitive dreams. We are the messengers of Fey."

Shasta ~ " That sounds so cool! Do the mortals have to be in their beds for you to come visit them?"

Luna ~ " Oh, my, no. They only have to be asleep. Sometimes if I have a very important message to deliver, I ask for the assistance of a Sandman. They are such lovely creatures and are always ready to give aid."

Shasta ~ I have heard that you travel with a companion. Can you tell us a little about her?"

Luna ~ You must be talking about my little sliver bird, Chipper. She is such a delightful little critter, but a little independent. Sometimes when I need her she tweets me several times before she comes to see if it is absolutely necessary."

Shasta ~ "Well all things Fey are a little independent, so we can't fault her for that. Do all fairies have animal helpers?"

Luna ~ "No, not really. The Fey animal is usually the one to form the bond, but once it is set, it is there for life. Which as you know in Fey is a very long time."

Shasta ~ " I am so happy you stopped by to visit with us. Luna. Would you be willing to answer any questions that our mortal visitors might have?"

Luna ~ " I was glad to stop by. It has been fun and yes, if I know the answer, I would be glad to answer their questions. 
Thank you for having me as your guest."

Shasta ~ "You have now met the first fairy that Katie visited with in Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth. Wasn't she wonderful? If you have any further questions for Luna just post them in the comments below and I will get them to her. 

I leave you now with Fairy Blessings ~"

Meet The Fairy (Astra & Omar)

Hi there all of you special people out in Mortal Land! 

It is Wednesday and I am back with another episode of Meet The Fairy.

Shasta

Today we have the privilege to meet Astra. Astra is a Sphinx and belongs to one of the oldest families of Fey and as a special treat her old friend Omar has generously decided to come with her.

Here they are, Astra, The Sphinx, and her every knowing friend Owl, Omar!

Astra ~ My my my this is so exciting! Omar and I are so anxious to have our visit with the mortal ones. Hello everyone, may you be blessed with the knowledge which comes before you.

Shasta ~ Oh Astra, just like you to start off the interview with a riddle. Now you will have everyone wondering what in the world you were talking about. lol

Astra ~ It is very simple; I have blessed them all with the knowledge of their ancestors.

Now I am ready to answer any questions they may have.

Shasta ~ Okay. Here is your first question. The Mortals would like to know just what a Sphinx is.

Astra ~ Sphinx are seers. We see into the future. We also see inside the soul and what needs to be altered to make that being's life more meaningful. We are the questions you hear in your head when a problem needs to be solved.

Shasta ~ That sounds very mysterious. How do you help someone alter their life?

Astra ~ We, Sphinx will always answer the questions that hold captive your mind, but we will answer them in our own time and in our own way. Usually the way is in the form of a riddle, rhyme or simple test of intuition. For knowledge can only be gained through valiant effort.

Shasta ~ So, the way you help is to make beings think out their problem. Is that correct?

Omar ~ Hoot! Hoot! Hooo Hoot Hoot.

Astra ~ Omar says, yes you are right, but in order to do this each being must learn to listen to and trust it's Spirit which lives Within.

Shasta ~ What do you mean? What Spirit that lives Within?

Omar ~ Hoot Hooo Hooot?

Astra ~ Omar cannot believe that you do not know of this spirit, Shasta. He thought every Fey being knew of it. The Spirit which dwells within is the one mortals refer to as intuition. They acknowledge it in there animal beings, but forget that they are of the same family and therefore posses it also.

Shasta ~ Wow, I never knew that mortals and their animals were from the same family. Our audience never told me that. Shame on you mortals. lol.  But seriously, Astra, you cannot place a human in the same family as a, well let's say a mouse for instance.

Astra ~ In this respect yes I can, for a mouse has the same inner spirit as a mortal human. He just listens to his more often. That is how he knows when to run away and when it is safe for him to stay and feed.

Shasta ~ Well, we will let the mortals all dwell on that little piece of information while we find out a little more about you. Can you tell the mortals what you look like? They are very confused on this matter.

Astra ~ As well they should be, because we take on many forms. We were fond of the body of a lion with a human head form in ancient Egypt, but that died out with the fall of the empire. Later we decided that form was much too intimidating to mortals so we decided that each of us would chose our own shape and form.

Shasta ~ Can you tell our audience what form you decided to take and why you have chosen this form.

Astra ~ I have chosen my legs to be those of the deer for they are sure and fast when flight is needed. My head and rest of my body are those of a woman, which is the symbol of renewal and birth. I embrace the long tail of the lion for balance and take on the wings of the eagle for strength. A crown of many colored lights encircles my head to keep it every clear yet ever wondering.

Shasta ~ It sounds like you have thought of everything. How clever of you. Okay, one last question before I let you and Omar go. What was the question the first Sphinx asked before allowing passage into her temple?

Astra ~ It is a very easy, yet hard question. Here it is "Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?"

Shasta ~ And the answer is?

Astra ~ We will let our very intelligent audience find the answer on their own. I do think that would be better, do not you?

Shasta ~ Okay, sounds good to me. Let's make a game out of it. If you know the answer to the Sphinx's riddle please post it in the comments below. Everyone with the right answer will get put in a drawing for a very special gift from the Sphinx herself. The game will end next Tuesday Night at Midnight!

Astra ~ Excellent! Omar and I will go in search of a prize everyone will enjoy.

Omar~ Hoot! Hoot!

Shasta ~ Thank you both so much for coming and a big thank you to each of you wonderful mortals out there for joining us for this interview. Don't forget to answer the Sphinx's question. Here it is again ~

"Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?"

I can't wait to see your answers!

Meet The Fairy (Willowood)

Hello everyone out there in Mortal Land!

Shasta

It is Wednesday and you know what that means! It means it is time to Meet The fairy!

Today we are going to meet a very illusive fairy. She is very shy and very claustrophobic, so instead of doing her interview here in my office, we are going to meet her in her forest.

You all are in for a real treat. Today you get to meet Willowood ~ The Green Lady of the Forest.

Willowood has a place all set up for us in this clearing. Just pull up a log and make yourself comfortable. I see her coming now. She is in her squirrel form right now, but she will transform into her elegant self before the interview.

Shasta ~ Hello Willowood. How are you this fine day? Oh now don't be shy. These nice mortals just want to learn a little more about you and your forest magic. Come on, shift shape for me please.

Willowood ~ Alright, but let's make this as short as possible. I really do not like all of this attention directed at me. I do appreciate you coming to my forest to do this interview. I would never have been able to endure being stuck inside with all those walls around me.

Shasta ~ No problem at all, Willowood. It was nice of you to invite us into your realm. It is so beautiful here.

Willowood ~ It is, isn't it. Nothing is as nice as being out in nature amongst all her beauty and animals. Now what is it that you want to know?

Shasta ~ Okay, let's get started. First the mortals want to know what you look like.

Willowood ~ Well, most of the time I look like I do now. I am tall and thin, with green skin and wild and carefree dark green hair. I usually adorn it with berries and twigs from my forest. My dress is formed from all of the leaves in my realm and changes as they do through the seasons. We celebrate every season except winter. Winter is not allowed in my realm.

Shasta ~ I don't think the mortals know that winter is not allowed in very many of the realms in Fey. They cannot control the weather, so they have to endure the cold, whether they like it or not.

Willowood ~ That is so sad. I could not bear to see the dying of my gorgeous trees and bushes, not to mention the hardship that would be placed on my wonderful woodland creatures. I am so sorry they have to endure this harsh season.

Shasta ~ It is okay, Willowood. They are mortals and know how to adapt and even enjoy the cold weather. Now our next question. They would like to know why you shape shift?

Willowood ~ Well, that is quite simple. I can travel through the forest more quickly as a squirrel. It is also a very good way to keep out of sight of anyone who wishes to do me harm. I love my squirrel form. It brings me closer to the animals in my realm.

Shasta ~ That is a very good point. I never thought of that. But can't you just disappear and travel by air like most fairies do? 

Willowood ~ Oh, no. I am a land spirit. I must always have at least on paw or foot on something that is connected to the ground. The soil is my life source.

Shasta ~ I see. That does make sense. Can you tell our inquisitive audience out there in Blogland how your magic works?

Willowood ~Hmmm. Let's see, my magic is drawn from the forest. I can command anything in my forest to do my bidding, but that is not ever needed. I take care of all of the trees, animals and anything else that lives in my realm, so they naturally come to my aid whenever it is needed. The Druids use my trees to pass information all around Fey. They are my closest friends. 

Shasta ~ So how would this magic be used?

Willowood ~ When the forest is brought to life, it can be a very ominous place to be. The trees and vines can trip or capture you. The rivers and streams can overflow and swallow you up. All of the animals can come together to capture you and keep you contained until your fate has been decided. This is where the old saying that mortals know too well comes from, It is Not Wise to try to Fool Mother Nature. But my forest can be very helpful to those who are true of heart.

Shasta ~ How is this so?

Willowood ~  My forest contains many helpful fairies such as Nymphs, Oakmen and Water Sprites. Their magic can heal wounds, and clear paths for those they want to help. Also, many fruits and berries of my realm carry magical powers. You just have to know which ones are good and which ones are not. Some of my berries even choose who they deem worthy of their powers, by killing those who they do not like and giving their gift of magic to those they do. The forest is a very complicated place to live.

Shasta ~ That is very interesting and a little scary. The mortals don't think it is a place they would like to visit.

Willowood ~ They would be fine as long as they learned to talk to the trees through their Druids. The Druids are very old and very wise. They know every secret the forest has. 

Shasta~ But how does a mortal learn to talk to a druid, Willowwood?

Willowood ~ I am so sorry, but I have to go now. The rabbits are calling for my help. It is probably another one of those ugly, nasty goblins trying to catch them for his dinner. Just wait till I get my hands on him. I will send him so far into the desert, he won't ever find his way out.

Shasta ~ But, Willowood, the mortals need to know how to talk to the Druids.

Willowood ~ Tell them to read the book 'The McCory Chronicles ~ Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth. It is all explained in there. I really must go. 

Shasta ~ Bye, Willowood. Thanks for the interview. We all hope your sweet little bunnies are safe. My, you do travel fast as a squirrel.

Well, that was quite exciting. I sure hope that she makes it there in time. Wasn't that a fun interview? If you have any questions for Willowood that we didn't answer here just post them in the comments below and I will do my best to get you your answers. Right now I think I will try to follow her and see what happens. TTFN

Meet The Fairy (Jackel)

Meet The Fairy
Whoo Hooo! It is time to meet another fairy from The McCory Chronicles ~ Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth.  This fairy tries to act mean and tough, but he is really as cuddly has a little ol' teddy bear. So now without further ado ~ Herrre's Jackel.


Shasta ~ Hi Jackel. It is so good to see you again. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview.

Jackel ~ It's good to see you too, Shasta. No problem at all. Now where is that warm knuckle cake you promised me?

Shasta ~ We will get to that in just a few minutes. It would be hard for you to answer my questions with your mouth full of food, but here is your milk, fresh from the cow, just as you requested.

Jackel ~ Humph, Okay. But there had better be some cake waiting for me after the interview or I will put a hex on this place. You know us, Brownies don't like people goin' back on their promises.

Shasta ~ Yes, Jackel. I am very well aware of that, but our mortal audience doesn't know anything about Brownies. We were hoping you could enlighten them with your vast knowledge.

Jackel~ Well, I have had a lot of experience. You learn more than you want to know about everything when you have lived over one thousand years. What do you want to know?

Shasta ~ All right. Here is your first question. How big is a Brownie?

Jackel ~ Ha! Ha! That is a good one. Most Brownies are small. They prefer it that way so they can go undetected when they are in a mortal's home. They don't want mortals to see 'em and start asking 'em to do more chores. Then you have my type of Brownie. We help the farmers out in the field with their crops. We can be any size we choose, like most fairies, but our average height is about four foot.

Shasta~ That is very interesting. Now can you tell us what kind of magic does a Brownie do, Jackel?

Jackel ~ We do so many things that is very hard to answer. We like to make things and keep things tidy. As Brownies we have the magical power to get things done in the blink of an eye. We can be very helpful if treated properly. Speaking of being treated properly, how about a piece of that cake you promised me?

Shasta ~ Just a bite, then I have another question for you. Here you go.

Jackel ~ Mmmm, That is so good! Let's get on to the next question so I can have it all.

Shasta ~ You can have it all when we have finished the interview. Remember, that is what we agreed on.

Jackel ~ Humph! Ask 'em then, while I drink my milk.

Shasta ~ If your magic is to help people, then why would anyone be afraid of you?

Jackel ~ Because, if we don't get our payment like for example cake, or are treated badly, then we become very angry and very dangerous. We have many hexes and tricks that we use on anyone or anything that pisses us off. I am not allowed to tell you exactly what they are. It is forbidden by the  Brownie vow. 

Shasta ~ One last question before we end. Can you give the mortals out there a description of yourself? 

Jackel ~ Why of course, if it will get me my cake. I am covered with matted brown fur. My eyes are narrow, yellow and slanted. I have arms that are as long as my legs, so I can grab ya quickly if I want to. I usually wear a pointed hat which covers my pointed ears and a long sleeved jacket with a belt.
My shoes vary with my work.

Shasta ~ Oh thank you Jackel! That was an excellent description. I'm sure all of the mortals out there in blog land can now picture you perfectly.

Jackel ~ Yes, I am quite accomplished in the art of description. Now, about that cake and I do hope you have more of that milk, warm from the cow, ready for me too.

Shasta ~ Tisk, tisk, Jackel. You have forgotten your manners. As soon as you say goodbye to our guests you can have all of the cake and milk you desire.

Jackel ~ Humph! Well then, Goodbye to all of you mortals out there. You should really just go read the book. You know the one that I star in, Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth, and then I wouldn't have to explain everything to ya. I'm goin' to eat my cake now. Then take a little nap before I go home. So don't bother me anymore.

Shasta ~ Thank you Jackel. That was sooo much fun. If any of you has a question for Jackel please post it in the comments below, but you might want to leave some cake and milk with your question. browniescanbesotempermental. 

Shasta

Helloooo! I am back with some exciting news! 

Shasta

Starting Wednesday, Sept. 4th, I will start featuring all of the fairies in Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth on my blog. It will be called Meet the Fairy. Each Wednesday I will interview a fairy from the book so you can learn more about them and their magic. And guess what else? You can ask them questions also in the comments. Then on Mondays, we will play a game about the blog and you can win a surprise gift!

This is sooo exciting! I can't wait!
