✦ Synopsis

Diamonds are the most celebrated, most coveted gem in history. It was once believed that gemstones were caused by fermentation in the stars. In ancient Greek, the word for diamond is adamas, (pronounced ad-am-us), which means unbreakable or unalterable. Tears of Adamas is the story of a treasure found in the tears of a beautiful girl.

In the vein of true old-fashion fairy tales, Tears of Adamas is not without some darkness and slaying. As such, this may not be a story for young children, and was not written as such. Rather, it would be more appropriate for middle grade to adult readers.
I was inspired by another author’s story (Ellen Mae Franklin, Tarkeenian series) in which she created a character, a fire sprite, who cries molten silver tears.

I’ve included the following excerpt from my Sunshine & Daisies novel. Sunshine & Daisies is a ‘feel good, anecdotal anthology’ meant to inspire memories of happy days gone by.
