Petir takes a rough tumble in the Connecticut woods, but awakens in the middle of old England. His instinct to freak out is tempered by the arrival of a fair maiden wearing a bow...and arrow. Throwing caution to the wind, Petir decides he has nothing to lose by pursuing Maid Rianne. But when she is captured by the enemy, a geek with no ability to defend himself must find a way to rescue the fair maiden.

Excerpt
The girl dropped to her knew by
Petir’s side. “Where are you hurt, m’lord?” Her manner was brusque, but her
fingers gentle as they inspected his battered cheek.
Oww. He pulled his face away. “I…I’m
not sure. Everything hurts.” Although he still focused on the bow cocked in the
shaking boy’s grip, the rest of his attention zeroed in on her and her fresh
outdoor fragrance. Nice.
“Were you in a fight?” She ran
practiced fingers over his arm, her head lowered as she focused on her task.
Petir stopped breathing and stared
at her blankly. This was different. In the last two years, the only females who
ever touched him were related to him. Or cleaning his teeth. They certainly
weren’t cute girls dressed up like a female Robin Hood.
A few rebellious curls escaping from
her hat outlined the curve of her cheek. Oh yeah. Even though it hurt when she
touched him, the simple act o running her fingers along his arm was reducing
him to stupid, leaving him with all the capabilities of a puddle, including a
puddle’s ability to hold a conversation. He had nothing to say. Absolutely
nothing.
“M’lord?” she said louder and
slower, as if talking to a simpleton. “Were you in a fight?” Her prodding
fingers moved to his ribs as he grimaced.
Yeah. You should see what I did to
the other guy. “No,” he managed to mutter. He didn’t want to appear to be an
actual idiot, but…“I fell out of a tree.”
I’m DEBORAH ANN DAVIS, and I write Quirky New/Young Adult Fiction with a Twist. I began writing when searching for inspiration for my 5th grade English Journal. Lo and behold, my world was full of funny tales just waiting to be told. It never occurred to me to pursue writing, not even when I discovered my flare for telling stories at college parties.
After a string of undergrad majors, I realized I could reach a captive audience EVERY DAY in the public school system. As you probably know, teenagers love to laugh, and what could be more entertaining than Biology, Earth Science, and Environmental Science? I jumped into teaching with both feet and loved it for 27 years. It came with an added bonus: Once teens know you like to laugh, they want to make you laugh. Go figure.
Twelve years after our first kiss, I reunited with, and married my childhood sweetheart. Together we coached our daughter's AAU Basketball Team, which swept States two years in a row. (Yay!) Then, for several years, our daughter and our money went to college.
During a particularly nasty bout of Lyme disease, I turned to Fitness to boost my Health, and to Writing to boost my Happiness. Currently, I am a healthy and happy Educational Speaker and a Certified Personal Trainer who loves to write.
We presently reside on a lovely lake in Connecticut. When I’m not writing novels for my Love of Fairs series, I enjoy dabbling with living a sustainable life, dancing, playing outside, and laughing really hard every day. I also promote increasing movement throughout your day as Wiggle Writer in my Merry Meddling blog at http://deborahanndavis.com/merry-meddling/ .
