Three Wishes & Fairy
Doors by Paula Millhouse – The story behind the story
During a day-trip with my family I ran across a quaint
little shop in the North Georgia Mountains where the shop owner offered Fairy
Doors for sale – tiny doors, eight to ten inches high. Along with the Fairy
Doors came every imaginable fairy charm offering for your garden, yard, and
home – miniature benches, chairs, garden tools, houses, you name it, they were
there.
The idea the shop owner pedaled was, if you place Fairy
Doors out on your property fairies will come through the magic portals to
visit. If the fairies find pleasure in your offerings, they’ll hang out and
protect your property. How cool is that?
Initially, I found myself entranced. Then the Muse in me
reared his head and snapped: “Hey! What if you invite those guys in and they
have mischief planned?”
::Heavy sigh:: This is
often how the writer’s mind works – think worst-case scenario.
I left the fairy charms at the store and refuted the idea of
possible mischief.
Magically, sometime the next week a story idea popped: What
if a girl, as a last resort to dealing with overwhelming negative odds, put out
a Fairy Door, and a fairy charms, and her One True Love found his way back to
her because she had the faith to ask the Universe for him, and his help?
My fantasy romance short story, THREE WISHES, evolved from
there.
Come meet Michael and Abby in a fairy tale where love reigns
supreme, heroes learn lessons, and wishes finally do come true.
Hmmm…maybe I’ll go back to the store and pick up those Fairy
Charms?

Book Description:
Abigail O’Malley wants to find true love…which is about as easy as catching a leprechaun.
Abigail O’Malley’s world turns upside down when a rival Irishman threatens to take her bar, an historic Savannah landmark, mere days before the start of the annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
When she captures a leprechaun, her three wishes include his gold, fairy magic, and the mystery of her One True Love.
Will Michael McKnight have time to prove he’s up to the task of granting all her wishes before the bad guys close in and destroy Abby’s dreams forever?
Paula Millhouse grew up in Savannah, Georgia where Spanish moss whispers tales in breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway. As a child Paula soaked in the sunshine and heritage of cobblestones, pirate lore, and stories steeped in savory mysteries of the south. She’s a member of Romance Writers of America, the Fantasy, Futuristic, & Paranormal chapter, the Mystery/Suspense chapter (Kiss of Death), and a member of Savvy Authors.
She lives with her husband at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains with their pack and pride of furry babies.
In the southern tradition of storytellers, she loves sharing the lives of her characters with readers, and following her muse on the quest for happily-ever-afters in thrilling romantic fiction.
