Elise Posledni

Writes fantasy. Cozy fantasy that you can sink into on a rainy day. Real, magical fantasy that makes you question the world you live in. Epic fantasy that brings you to new realms and adventures. Romantic, supernatural, and heart-wrenching reluctant hero fantasy that speaks to something in all of us.

About the Author

Elise Posledni's love for writing started at a young age when she wrote a re-telling of The Lord of the Rings through the point of view of Bill the pony. Writing fantasy just became second nature from there. Elise is currently a bookkeeper by day and fantasy writer by weekend and very early mornings. A New Witch in the Northwoods will be Elise's first published novel and will be available soon! 

 

Elise Posledni is the pen name for Jenna Dickson. Book awards include Top Ten Winner of the 2021 Launch Pad Prose Competition, plus #1 Fantasy Book/Manuscript of the Month and #4 placement for the year on the Coverfly Redlist.​

"Of Dreams & Nightmares" Featured on Aphelion Issue 179

A veil exists in untouched land.

In places where forests still plan their roots,

And resist the hands of man.

 

The trees and grasses still whisper their fates:

Pierce the veil - if you dare,

More than magic awaits.

 

The world consists of the elemental five.

Of pixies, sprites, and fairies,

Air and water keep them alive.

 

Other creatures merely appreciate the earth.

Of dragons, and djinns, and phoenix that fly;

The fire element gives birth.

 

Wizards and demons vie for control of them all.

 

War broke out across both lands.

Where once was peace, enchantment, and ease,

Elements divided wizard families and demon clans.

 

As mankind spreads across the earth,

The creatures of magic are now nothing but lore.

Humans view nature with little worth.

 

And the darkness, lurking shadow –

Already there.

 

Few portals remain,

And fewer go through.

Wizards and witches still pass between the void,

But of demons and fairies and goblins, only few.

 

In the twilight of magic

Humans forge the world as their own.

Regardless of the power objects once held

They make their buildings and roads of wood and stone.

 

The veil is stretched, patchy and thin.

Inundated by forces – without and within.

 

But still:

There are forgotten places where power still flows.

Beware human explorer,

If that is where your heart goes.

 

Magic changes you.
