Once more Sonia and the filly find themselves in danger from those who are jealous of the pegasus and scared of their magical abilities. If they can't protect the school grounds, then how can they hope to protect future students?

She's going to have to call on some friends, as well as her inner strength to save the academy she's grown to love.

Excerpt:
by Kit MuseOnce a celebrated concert pianist, Sonia Morales retired to the New Mexico countryside after her RA made it impossible to continue her career. She cared for her special plot of land and some magical equines as best as she could. She never imagined getting close to them or forming a bond until the night a storm knocks down their shelter and the fate of their filly is revealed. If she doesn’t bond with a human and fly, she’ll die. Sonia fears her body isn’t up to the task, though her magic and spirit are willing. Discovering the reason for the filly’s fears of humans makes her more determined than ever to protect them. She’s offered the chance of a lifetime and an opportunity to help not just her filly, but all pegasus. Is she strong enough to take it? And can a disabled woman and a pegasus with PTSD bond enough to fly?

by Kit MuseIt's winter break at Pegasus Academy and most of the students have gone home; however, Pandy (Pandora) has stayed behind. She's older than her classmates, due to being out of school during treatment for childhood lukemia and dealing with its after effects. She doesn't fit in at school, and she's a reminder that even those with magical talent get very mundane diseases. Good thing her academic work isn't going unnoticed, and when she's given extra duties, she gladly agrees. What she's really excited about is the impending birth of a unicorn foal. She's always felt out of place at the Pegasus Academy; maybe it's time she carved out a spot of her own.
Winter Unicorn is a YA novella set at Pegasus Academy and features a disabled heroine. This story is meant to be a prelude to future stories featuring Pandy.
