Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow
Dragonfly
Princess Taoshira is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil ac Burinholt in order to unite their lands. And Ramil's not too pleased either. They hate each other on sight.
So when she and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - either from their kidnappers or from each other.
Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their extraordinary adventure - including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies and the best female fighter they have ever seen - help them or betray them to the enemy..?

The Glass Swallow
Rain
She designs exquisite stained glass for the windows of her city. But the law is clear — it is forbidden for girls to be part of the glassmaker's guild. To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.
Peri
When he witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart becomes tied to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.
Can Rain and Peri's love survive the prejudices against them? And with the city on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?

Ok she'll send it to you tomorrow hopefully. By any chance do can you bring some of your books in to school and we can sell them at a cheap price,but that is entirely up to you. Of course you'll keep 100% of the money. Tell me if its a good idea or not and i hope to hear from you soon!!! (Hi Beth, I don't do my own book sales. I wait to hear from your teacher. Julia)

Oh,thats ok your books are better than brilliant already. Thank you for taking the time too read my comment anyway as your probaly busy with writng one of your fantastic books. I am doing some research for school and would like you too answer a couple of questions as my role model... 1~Are you a former guider? 2~If you are where abouts do you live in britan? 3~Would you come to a day at our school in calcot reading berkshire? thanks again beth (Hi Beth, Yes I was in guides (and brownies!). I live in Oxford so not far from Calcot so a visit is possible if you get a teacher's backing which might be a bit tricky!. Julia)

i was just wondering, why did you name the sequel swallow? is it to do with birds or something? thanks (Hm, it is something to do with one of the main characters, but I might be changing it so don't get too fixed on that idea! J)
Beth Stent wrote on 11 April 2009:
thank you julia!! I have a suggestion but its up to you wether to put it in a book. Cat Royal could meet Tashi in Tashi's country or somthing like that! But then again your books are brillient enough already!!!!! tell me what you think.! (Hi Beth, I usually try to keep my imaginary characters in their own worlds or it gets a bit like an episode of Dr Who. J)
