Two standalones from the Story Hearth catalogue that sit inside the same understanding — that magic hides in the ordinary world and passes to its recipient through readiness rather than seeking.

Hiraeth — Ellis Clarke has carried an unnamed longing her entire life. A visit to Beddgelert and a meeting with Luke Maddox, a Guardian of Wales who is considerably more than he appears, begins to suggest the ache has always been for something specific. A paranormal romance steeped in Welsh mythology and the particular quality of belonging finally found.

What a Latte Books — A book appears in Laura's shop that has no right to exist. It keeps disappearing and returning. Its story mirrors her own life in ways that shouldn't be possible. A contemporary magical realism romance about following an enchantment you can't explain toward something you haven't let yourself want yet.

Both waiting for the reader who arrives at exactly the right moment.

Suitable for anyone who wants to enjoy a short story, Delta is the latest novella by the versatile Jordan Elizabeth. Based on an historical event but with purely fictional characters, the author weaves real life and paranormal/fantasy together to create a gripping tale.

Set in the years leading up to the time a small village was flooded to create Lake Delta in 1917, the short story focuses on the Madison family who believe the plans will never come to fruition. As the years pass, neighbours begin receiving eviction letters but the family remain steadfast in their belief that their land won't be affected.

Meanwhile, the protagonist Lottie is given the task to deliver daily baskets of food to her Aunt Flora, a lady housebound in a cottage in the woods, however, Lottie is forbidden to ever enter the house.

As Lottie grows up with the threat of the flood becoming more of a reality, she begins to question why her parents are so convinced that all will be okay. In the months leading to her 17th birthday, she overhears her parents speaking of magic, but surely magic isn't real? She is soon to discover the painful truth and learn that she is not who she thinks she is.

Delta was quick to read and the ten year storyline sped by. The fast pace makes readers eager to reach the conclusion, a conclusion that is in no way predictable.

Whilst short, Delta is definitely worth reading. It is perfect for those moments when you need something to do but can't commit to reading a longer novel.
