Dear Reader,
I hope you enjoyed Rusalka. I adore fairytales, and very much enjoyed bringing the story of the beloved opera Rusalka to the printed page. The music, images and text of Antonin Dvořák’s opera were a rich fount of inspiration. Immersing myself in their magic was a great privilege.
I love to hear from my readers. You can drop me a line at [email protected], visit me on the web at www.odeliafloris.com or find my author page on Facebook. And while you are on my website, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter (which you can find here). It contains news of my new releases and occasional sneak previews. You will not be spammed, I promise!
If you enjoyed this book, I am sure you will enjoy some (or perhaps all!) of my other novels. You will find information on them below, with links to buy.
Thank you so much for reading Rusalka and for spending time with me. I hope we get together again soon.
With gratitude,
Odelia Floris

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN (of all ages!)
The Little Demon Who Couldn’t
A wickedly funny Victorian urban fantasy novel. This is a children’s chapter book. But, adults, don’t let that fool you into thinking it is not for you. I love some children’s books just as much as I love adult fiction. Why should we miss out while kids have all the fun? This witty, quirky, spooky, devilish little tale is not just for children, it is for everyone!
BOOKS FOR ADULTS AND TEENAGERS
The Heart of Darkness (The Chaucy Shire Medieval Mysteries, Book 1)
‘Unlike anything I have read before.’
‘Captivating and unusual!’
An exciting and romantic novel filled with romance, mystery, intrigue and adventure (and misadventure!). It combines a lively, dialogue-rich contemporary style with poetic, atmospheric settings, and references the original medieval romances, such as Percival and the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. A very popular read. Clean romance, no graphic content. Who doesn’t want to fall in love with a knight in shining armour? Although this knight’s armour is more rusty than shining…
In Want of a Wife: A Sweet Regency Romance Novella
Take a journey back in time, and accompany two young country sisters as they negotiate their first London Season of husband-hunting. Vivacious, impulsive Arielle could not be more different than her shy, timid, cautious younger sister Rosa. But this wallflower soon finds herself attracting attention from a very unexpected quarter, and facing a decision which will change her life forever… A clean Regency read that is traditional, but with a fresh twist.
Beguile Me Not
‘It is woven expertly. We experience late 19th century New Zealand through magical imagery – the use of metaphor is amazing. This book is crafted beautifully and intelligently.’
‘Described with the adoring touch of a poet,’ was how one reviewer described the New Zealand setting of this Victorian literary romance. ‘I was enthralled by the telling of this story’, said another. This full-length novel is atmospheric, filled with image-rich language, and peopled with uniquely delineated characters. Come and find shattering, life-changing love at the ends of the earth.
Inspiration and Wisdom from the Pen of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Over 600 Quotes
A collection of the great 19th century American thinker’s best and most popular quotes. His insightful, wisdom-filled words are as relevant now as when they were written over 150 years ago. If you are looking for profound yet simple maxims to live by, this book will be an invaluable friend and guide.
