Fairly Certain
by Deborah Ann Davis
Fairly
Certain is the unlikely adventure of nineteen year old Petir Capota, a computer
geek who finds
himself back in the days of Robin Hood after falling out of a
tree in Connecticut. He awakens surrounded by a band of young British
scavengers, clothed as if in Old England. His instinct to freak out is tempered
by the arrival of a fair maiden wearing a bow…and arrow. Normally, fair maiden
types don’t go for computer geek types, but for some reason, Petir is fairly
certain he can do whatever he wants in this realm.
With the conflict of
the Royals escalating, Maid Rianne has joined the outlaws hiding in the forest,
outwardly defying the handsome and accomplished knight to whom she is promised.
She is fairly certain she merely feels flattered by Lord Petir’s uncensored
admiration of her skills with the staff and bow, the same unmaidenly pursuits
disdained by her own knight. However, that does not explain the quickening of
her pulse produced by Lord Petir’s unguarded gaze.
The outlaws bring
Petir to their camp to tend his injuries. To Petir’s delight, and to Maid
Rianne’s dismay, they invite him to join their merry band. It’s all fun and
games until she is captured by the enemy. Now, a geek with no ability to defend
himself must find a way to rescue the fair maiden.

And now for an excerpt:
Maid Rianne lifted off Petir in alarm, her arms bracing her
from both sides of his body as she hovered just inches away. Although they did
not touch, their gazes locked them together as their ragged breathing blended
with the night noises. Still she did not retreat.
That was enough of a signal for Petir. He propped himself up
high enough to reach her mouth and waited. Her face tilted toward him, and he
brushed her lips with his.
Now, that was a tingle.
Magically, she deepened their kiss. She was so warm, and—
“Be sure to check on our guest before you bed down,”
directed a male voice from outside the tent.
Maid Rianne’s head shot up. Panic washed across her face as
she scrambled to her feet, frantically tugging her clothing and smoothing her
hair. The flap of the tent quietly opened, and a head popped in.
“All’s well, Maid Rianne?”
“Yes, yes,” she snapped. “Of course all is well, sir.”
The intruder offered a puzzled look at her waspish tone as
she self-consciously straightened her sleeves. He politely tipped his head at
Petir, a suspicious glint in his eye. “Very well. Good evening, sir.”
“One moment, sir,”
she said, scooping up her belongings. “I shall accompany you,” And just like
that, she was gone.
Dazed and elated, Petir flopped back on the pallet, all pain
forgotten.
Maid Hottie had actually jumped his bones. Too bad you
couldn’t wrap it up in a box and put a bow on it. Now that would make a great
birthday present.
Best dream ever!

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
DEBORAH ANN
DAVIS writes Quirky New/Young Adult Fiction with a Twist. She began writing
when searching for inspiration for her 5th grade English Journal. Lo and
behold, she found her world was full of funny tales just waiting to be told. As
she grew older, it never occurred to her to pursue writing, not even when she
discovered her flare for telling stories at college parties.
After a
string of undergrad majors, she realized she could reach a captive audience
EVERY DAY in the public school system. As you probably know, teenagers love to
laugh, and what could be more entertaining than Biology, Earth Science, and
Environmental Science? Then there's an added bonus: Once teens know you like to
laugh, they want to make you laugh. Go figure.
After a
particularly nasty bout of Lyme disease, she turned to Fitness to boost her
health, and to Writing to boost her happiness. Currently, she is a healthy and
happy Educational Speaker and a Certified Personal Trainer.
Twelve years
after their first kiss, Deborah reunited with, and married her childhood
sweetheart. Together they coached their daughter's AAU Basketball Team, which
swept States two years in a row. (Yay!) Then, for several years, their daughter
and their money went to college.
They
presently reside on a lovely lake in Connecticut. When she isn't writing novels
for her Love of Fairs series, she enjoys dabbling with living a sustainable
life, dancing, playing outside, and laughing really hard every day. She also
promotes increasing your movement throughout your day as Wiggle Writer in her
Merry Meddling blog at http://deborahanndavis.com/merry-meddling/ .

Thank you for having me. December 2nd is a great day for authors. According to the always unsubstantiated wikipedia, on 12/2/1867, at the Tremont Temple in Boston, British author Charles Dickens gives his first public reading in the United States. AND, Fairly Certain is being re-launched today with a brand new cover! Wow!
Bonus Random Joke while I wait for someone to talk to:
A recent worldwide survey showed that out of 2,146,703,436 people, 94% were too lazy to actually read that number.
