“Keep Searching, Searching”  : by C.R. Cummings

The Ivy Chronicles - 3

Life is pretty awesome for Ivy Glenwood now.   She has gotten away from her abusive mother, her Grand-dad has returned and she’s found some genuine friends.  Living in the hemlock forest with a bunch of hottie druids and her best friend Margo, she is learning that being a fey with cool powers is not half bad. 

That is until the fey Elders have to mess everything up.  They demand that Ivy attend school in the fey realm to become a ‘proper’ fey; while Zack’s dad wants him to join the battle against the Eilibears. 

Nothing is ever as it seems and evil doesn’t always hide in the heart of darkness, as they both discover. 

This is the third book in The Ivy Chronicles.  

Meet Ivy for the first time in “Run, Run, Run Away - The Ivy Chronicles 1”.  The tale expands in “The Hemlock Forest - The Ivy Chronicles 2”  and now C.R.

New Release "The Hemlock Forest"

"The Hemlock Forest"

         by C.R. Cummings

How does a wife and mother deal with raising her own unstable child, as well as an orphaned fairy, and at the same time hide her special power of knowing the future?  Elisa is doing the best she can, although keeping a foot in both worlds is precarious at best.  Moving from place to place in order to keep the humans from finding out is hard on her, as is having to deal with the children not aging...while time moves on for her and her man.  The forest is the safest place for the family, although they cannot remain there for long.

"The Hemlock Forest" is the prequel to "Run, Run, Run Away".  It tells the story from Elisa's point of view, living in the human world, though shifted into a fey by the unwitting willow.  No one knows, not even her husband, that she is a Scry...and she needs to keep it that way.

Samuel Larsen was the Inspiration for 'Zack' in Run, Run, Run Away

So many people have asked me who was the inspiration for Zack in Run, Run, Run Away.  Well truth be told, I was already deep into writing the book when I came across "The Glee Project" on TV one night.  I took one look at Samuel Larsen and 'Zack' was born in full glory.  Maybe creepy, but I pictured him as I wrote of what was happening between him and the main character, Ivy.  

Samuel looks like something from a fantasy....as Zack he is a hunky young man that finds out some interesting things about himself when he meets a young girl, Ivy, that he can't seem to stop following.

Run, Run, Run Away

“Run, Run, Run Away” a new fantasy novel by C.R. Cummings will hit the shelves November 1, 2011.

"16 year old Ivy has made up her mind. Dealing with life after the death of her Grandparents and having to live with her psycho, druggie mother, is no life at all.

She decides that running away is better than going into foster care, and takes off to live alone at her Grand-dad's isolated cabin deep in the forests of Oregon.

Getting there wasn't the scary part, nor was being alone. What was scary was the discovery of her Grandma's journals hidden in the cabin, along with her own true identity...

Thrown head first into an alternate reality, Ivy finds herself dealing with fairies, druids, boggarts, and magic; along with the onset of powers that had been long locked away from her.

Two young men are very willing to help her figure it all out; but which can she trust?  The incredibly gorgeous fey with the misty violet eyes, who insists on calling her 'my lady'? ..Or the exotic, dreadlock-sporting hunk that can't seem to stop following her?

Whichever it is, Ivy is finding that running away from home is more than she ever bargained for."
