Trista is currently writing a Children's chapter book, hopefully on virtual shelves in the near future.  She won't say what it's about, but a little birdie told me it may have something to do with desert islands and pirate ships, something like that.

Sneak Peak! 

Here's a preview of one of Trista's works in progress, The Black Unicorn.  Let us know what you think!


“No, you idiot! I said turn him into a snake, NOT a unicorn!” King Marrok boomed. 

“Forgive me, my liege! I-It is a common mistake,” Murdock the magician squeaked. 

Before them stood the most magnificent creature any of them had ever seen. Black as ebony, with a long golden horn and eyes to match, was indeed, a unicorn. 

“Guards, take him away!” 

A throng of guardsmen came running in at the king’s command taking the magician into custody. 

“What of the beast, your highness?” 

“Take him to the dungeon until I decide his fate.” 

Raef couldn’t believe his ears! Moments ago he’d been summoned to his Uncle Marrok’s chambers, for what he assumed to be a lecture on his most recent reckless behavior, only to be bamboozled by his uncle’s nutty magician. He watched as a couple of guards surrounded the magician and escorted him out. He stood in shock now as the guardsmen threw a rope about his neck and began leading him out the door.
