Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Shawna Reppert, an award-winning author of fantasy and steampunk, is proud of keeping readers up all night and making them miss work deadlines. Her fiction asks questions for which there are no easy answers, while at the same time taking the reader on a fine adventure that grips them heart and soul and keeps them turning pages until the very end.

She shares her home with a black-and-orange cat named Samhain who occasionally takes over her blog.

In the past, she had occasionally been found in medieval garb on a caparisoned horse, throwing javelins into innocent hay bales that never did anything to her. More recently, she has been known to attend Victorian teas in her steampunk regalia.

She grew up in Pennsylvania, and now lives in the beautiful wine country of Oregon. Each has colored her writing in different ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars I fully expect to see this story in print someday ...

I fully expect to see this story in print someday, in an anthology devoted to Robin Hood or curses or Celtic mythology; it fits all of those themes while still managing to surprise the reader at least once! The main character Guy is very believable as a character, and at the story's end I couldn't help wishing that he finds his way into another of Ms. Reppert's stories someday, with the band of Merry Men he intends to gather for his new purpose in life.

This is a wonderful story and I like that it is short. I love the connection of the kestrel and the renn faire and it has a twist at the end that I was totally not expecting. Magic is real and just waiting there for us who look for it. Thank you Shawna for this sweet story...

An enjoyable read, well written. My only complaint is that it's so short! I read it in less than 10 minutes.

I've been looking for a short read that encapsulated a bit of fantasy with reality for a long time and found it in Shawna's wonderful tale. She has created a believable world with wonderful characters that weave though uncertainty and doubt, arriving at a satisfying ending that was truly heartwarming and unexpected. A good read for me that I would highly recommend to others.

A quick, interesting read. I have abandoned many books because I didn't care about the characters, but I cared about Guy and his quest right away. It has a good, plausible, ending (for a fantasy story), and I'd love to hear about what happens afterwards. I look forward to reading the other books by this author.

After reading other short stories by this author, I was expecting a well-written tale with strong characters and I was not disappointed! Shawna Reppert writes with a lyrical voice, bringing her characters to vibrant life and offering up worthy life lessons without preaching. I definitely look forward to reading more of her work!

I am so happy I didn't know about this author, now I have all of her work ahead of me to read! Reminds me of Charles de Lint (and THAT is high praise!)

Good book about choices we make, the reasons behind them and the right choice always being honesty. The use of Herne was also interesting.
