This sticky shows the entrance of one of my favorite mythical creatures in Phooka Tales, the Kelpie, who also makes an appearance in Lane’s Girl as the symbol of the Morgan Family. In the book, each creature represents some part of Holly, and the Kelpie is her desire to give up. It is also connected to a very interesting back-story with the daughter of the couple she is staying with in Scotland. And let’s face it, I couldn’t set the second half of the book on the shores of the Loch Ness without making one creature crawl out of the depths (alas, Nessie does not have a cameo in Phooka Tales).
