Please excuse me for the month of November...

I'll be writing away on my NaNoWriMo story called On Darkened Wing.  But here is a quick run-down on what's been happening in the past couple weeks.

 - I received my book blurb to edit and approve.  I only made a couple corrections and let me tell you I'm excited to see it on the book jacket!

 - I'm ready to begin querying The Phoenix again now that my rewrites are complete.  Click here to read more about this YA novel.

 - Nano is in full swing - today is day 3 and I'm 3886 words into the 50k to win Nano again this year.  Which I plan to do despite my poor husbands puppy dog eyes he gives me when I sit down to write after our kidlets are in bed.  Sorry hun.

 - I planned my nano story with a basic idea and then day 2 I scrubbed it and went with a completely new story I'm more inspired to write.  Here is what it's about:

ON DARKENED WING

When the Kingdom of Fae Rae'al is threatened by the Unseelie Court, the king and queen send their infant son to the human world to be raised by exiled faeries who are not aware of their adopted son's identity.  They live in peace for seventeen years and the prince grows up believing he's, Redd, the dorky, clumsy son of Greg and Marion Hill.

When the threat returns to Fae Rae'el, the king and queen send Zuzana, their most promising seeker, to the human world to watch over their son and keep him safe.  She joins the ranks of Culvert High in an attempt to blend in and keep her eye on Prince Oren—or Redd as he's called.  But when the threat crosses into the human domain, Zuzana must reveal to Redd his true nature and bring him back to Fae Rae'el to rule by his father's side to protect the realm of faeries.

If Zuzana fails in her mission, the Unseelie Court will break through the barrier protecting Fae Rae'el and expose them to the humans, ultimately raining down destruction to all in the Seelie Court.

So in the meantime, please be patient with me for the month of November.  I will try to post updates and other fun tidbits, but I'll be typing until my fingers bleed and my eyes fall out.
