Aurora and Taurilella – in the Kingdom of Fairies and Mermaids
In this enchanted world , a brave and tiny fairy named Aurora lives in the sparkling Forest of Majestic Falls, where flowers bloom in every colour of the rainbow along the water`s refreshing pathways. But when the evil fairy Azelia threatens to take over the forest, Aurora and her sisters must find a way to stop her. Meanwhile, beneath a beautiful ocean lies the Kingdom of Mermaids. Tauriella, her sisters and King Leroy the octopus live happily here among the coral reef and ocean life. But then, the villainous Sindaron prowls and waits. He seeks the power of the mermaid`s crystal, that will allow him to take hold of this Coral Kingdom. Tauriella knows she must defend their home.
Curiosity and that sense of adventure brought them together. Aurora and Tauriella, through a new found bond of friendship, love and loyalty must now unite to save their world of fairies and mermaids.

Ancara Holgate
I was born and raised on the sun-bathed tropical island Jamaica, until I moved to the UK as a teenager. As a happily married mother of two, I have worked in various jobs: as a qualified business administrator, hairdresser, in retail as a qualified manager – and I’ve had a 16-year run in health and social care.
I enjoy dancing, singing, dining out and helping others. But one day I discovered that my love for writing would prove invaluable in helping me deal with the challenges of my mum being diagnosed with MS. The writing kept me going and I found it therapeutic.
I continued putting pen to paper until finally, through unrelenting encouragement and support from my aunt, with whom I shared my stories (and is sadly no longer with us), I decided to published my stories for children.
