My handbag is a small backpack. I was at a rabbit
show in Ocean County New Jersey and it was in the silent auction.
Purple is my
favorite color and I love backpack purses. I bid on it and won which means I
paid $5 for it and that was ten years ago. It does not have a tag on it so when
it is time to replace it I can’t even buy another one. But I am on the search
for something just like it.
Destiny of a Gargoyle is the first in a trilogy of novellas about three brothers who
are cursed until they find the fairy they are destined to protect. That doesn’t
happen until modern day and of course and by then the fairy has no idea that
she is a fairy.
“Speaking
of figurines,” Colleen said. “Show us this gargoyle.”
Meg’s
eyes twinkled. “Let me get it.”
She
headed into the bedroom while Meg and Colleen caught up on the news of the day.
Meg looked at her nightstand. The gargoyle wasn’t there. She’d been so busy
this morning and when she arrived home that she hadn’t notice. Odd. She
searched under the bed.
“Something
wrong?” Colleen said from the doorway.
Fiona
stood beside her.
“I
can’t find the gargoyle.”
Fiona
waltzed into the room as she took control. “How big was it? Did you put it in
your drawer?”
“Too big for the drawer,” Meg said as she
stared at where it had been sitting.
Something
niggled at her memory. Something she’d dreamt about last night.
Fiona
looked under the bed. Colleen peered into the bathroom.
“You
have the strangest look on your face,” Fiona said when she straightened.
“I
had this odd dream. I thought someone was in my bedroom,” Meg said
She
hadn’t been afraid. Instead she had a sense the person was there to protect
her. From what she had no idea.
“And
they stole the gargoyle?” Colleen said.
She
let out a little laugh. Meg knew it sounded odd, but it was just as weird that
her statue was gone. “I kind of liked that thing.”

Chris, I think you bag would make a great backpack for a student. Best wishes with your book!
Can you ask Chris why they steal their cover art from other artists and if the backpack is where they carry the book they plan to lift covers from?
