Freedom to Choose is Paramount for any human
An arrangement made when Elizabeth was just a babe ties her
to someone she has never met, never spoken to, never loved. Now she desires
freedom—a way to choose her own path—her own husband. The moment Elizabeth
meets Patrick she knows he is her soul mate. But when you are bound to a crown
how is any choice your own?
“Elizabeth, I don’t understand your behavior. This is for your
own protection,” the king tried to reason. ‘She was supposed to easily comply
with the situation, wasn’t she?’ he thought. “When I am gone, both kingdoms
will become one. No one will try to take the kingdom away from you.”
“Don’t you even trust that I could defend our land from our
enemies, Father?”
She had a good point there, but he mustn’t agree with her.
“It is not that, dear. It is the thought of leaving you in
danger of war.”
“I see. You have it all figured out, haven’t you? You decided
that I could not rule our people, nor defend them. So you gave my people and me
away to the Prince of Trebolett.”
“Elizabeth,” her mother murmured once again but could not
continue.
“I don’t care for your company any longer,” she shouted at her
father. “I want to be alone.”
She hurried back to her horse, flung herself into the saddle and
ran, heedless of where she went.
Anna was born in the extreme South along some famous beaches.
She grew up with four other siblings, being placed in the middle.
Anna moved to the USA to marry her husband Rodney, and has
resided in Utah since then. Her husband, a native of Idaho, met her in her
hometown. They fell in love and she came to Utah on Christmas Eve to be married
two weeks later. They are the parents of three princes and a princess.
Early on in her life she showed an affinity for sewing and took
classes that have rewarded her with the opportunities of doing the costuming
for the cast of four musicals, and Utah’s own Fantasy Con, which she enjoyed
immensely. She is fluent in both English and Spanish.
Some of Anna’s writing recognitions:
She received the Editor’s Choice Award from the International
Library of Poetry and had her article entitled A
New American Motherpublished by Desert Saints Magazine. Her short
story entitled Amerine—Fairy Princess won an award in a League of Utah
Writers contest later to be published by Kalkion Magazine. (Now it has been
published as an e-book.) Other articles about family and relationship have been
published frequently in the MOMS CLUBÒ of Salt Lake Valley-West. She has
published 7 books on her Elf series. Her and Rodney’s love story was published
by Deseret book in the anthology entitled Angels Round About compiled by July C. Olsen. Another of
her articles was included in the Anthology Mother’s Message in a Bottle,
edited by Tyler Hayden and published by Nimbus Publishing.
