About the Book

The HEARTHKEEPER series of poetry chapbooks is the life’s work of A. Marieve Monnen, a poetry writer dedicated to verses that heal, comfort, and inspire.

Can a poetry chapbook of a dozen poems reveal hidden dimensions of the human heart?

“Facets of Love and Affection”, the third chapbook of nine forthcoming, explores the complexities and realities of love. From the dizzying heights of new romance to the depths of loss, culminating in a vision of hope and tender reflection.

HEARTHKEEPER chapbooks consist of 10 to 20 poems related to a theme. Each chapbook includes an Afterword and Commentary to provide additional details about many of the poems. Marieve welcomes engagement with readers and fellow poetry writers. The reader is encouraged to continue the conversation beyond the page and contact the author via email. Marieve personally responds to every email she receives.

About the Author

A. Marieve Monnen wasn't born in HYLA; in truth, HYLA was born within her. Engineer by day/poetess by night, she divides her writing time between the Scriptorium at Wythe and a cottage at Candlebridge. She visits Carriage House in the City, lingering at Bevel’s Woven Goods, Paper & Quiller’s, and Fair Winds. At the Cliffs, she breathes with the waves, makes a bit of salt, recalling all that transpired there. Seabirds still nest on Fortress heights, and the Luna-lim faithfully return.

The Girl Who Wrote on Water

by Evelyn Puerto

As dust settles on the buried kingdom of Ymittos, Princess Derya faces a horrifying conclusion: her friend Princess Eliana has perished after failing to break an evil sorcerer’s curse. Which means the next obstacle in the plot to enslave the continent is Derya’s father — the Emperor of Cinar.

When the emperor tasks Derya with forming a crucial alliance, her only way forward is to race the sorcerer in a hunt for the magical scepter he lost a millennium ago. If he retrieves it, he’ll be unstoppable in his quest to dominate the world.

Seeking the scepter in barbarian-controlled territory could cost Derya her life.
But if she refuses the quest, she loses her right to the empire.
And if she fails, there won’t be an empire left to inherit.
