NORA BROOKE has never been in love. Like most people, she has no memory of her previous lifetimes, or the soulmate she returns to in between lifetimes. The invisible world of she - and he-fairy entities is growing impatient with Nora's bad luck through centuries of misery and loneliness. With their help, this is about to change. Thirty-five years old and single - Nora considers a vacation. It is a decision that is about to turn her upside down, where she lands in Riga, Latvia on the coast of the Baltic Sea. OSKAR EGLE is about to change his life from a stranger innocently bumping into Nora's shoulder to becoming her closest friend, lover and husband. Not so quickly - though, Oskar's Aunt Kara - an evil fairy in disguise of a normal human being emerges from the dead carcass of a cat and wants nothing more than to interfere. With her team of crows and bats hidden in the midst of the normal world, Kara will stop at nothing short of bending fate. Kara's war on the unification of soulmates transforms her to an entity smaller than a pinhead on the bank of the River Daugava. IF YOU WANT TO fall in love, read this book.

Excerpt from The Fairyselves: IF ONE STARES TOO INTENTLY at the constellations littered across a black velvet sky, they appear to move. When such things actually move, it is usually just one, and its tail blazes in a trail of fireworks. Everyone is amazed. It's how we know the eyes are not playing tricks on the brain. FAIRIES ARE LIKE THIS. If we have opportunity to see them, we are amazed. In matters of logic, we might certainly question if what we saw was actually real, or our imagination. Babies, toddlers - even those minds trapped in far away places suddenly rise from the living dead to see a blaze of sparkles and wings. Fairies, yes.
