Happy Thanksgi...ah whatever...
I’m too tired to do Thanksgiving. What, pray tell has me
exhausted? Why my NaNoWriMo novel, The
Covington Witches, that’s what. Yep. I’m at the 75% mark and hoping to
finish in time. It’s going to come down to the wire. What with the
procrastination, the endless cups of coffee I have to brew, the leaves I have
to follow on their path from the tree to the leaf-strewn ground below, I’m busy,
people! I have no time to cook Thanksgiving dinner. And I love Thanksgiving.
All of it. All of the food I mean. I need baked macaroni and cheese. I’ve never
deserved baked macaroni and cheese more in my life than this November.
But, I don’t have time to cook it. Or any of the other
dishes I’m tasked with cooking. Because everything I do is in service of THE
BOOK. Even this blog post, of course, sorry, but it is. It’s the place where I
get to talk my book. It is the reason for the blog’s existence. But, I’m too
tired.
Gobble, gobble.

Family Ties
Do you have family members that drive you insane? How do you
handle them? What if your family was peopled with witches? That’s what the main
character of my new book The Covington
Witches has to deal with; learning that she comes from a family of witches,
that apparently everyone else knows this and finding out that she is a witch
herself! How will Imara handle the shocking revelations?
If the family can
keep this secret, what other secrets are they keeping?

Coming of Age
The writing is going well. Whether the story is completed
during NaNoWriMo this year or not remains to be seen… This story is really a
coming of age story for the main character, Imara Covington, and how she comes
into her own and begins to get a glimpse into the incredible power that she
wields in the course of the story. I've enjoyed taking the journey with her so
far and meeting her, uh, shall we say colorful
family members. There really is a whole world simmering beneath the surface
here and I’m just glad I can come along for the ride.
