CAMP NANOWRIMO STARTS TOMORROW FOR TERRI DELCAMPO & BLAZE MCROB

Terri DelCampo and I will both be busy in April. Camp NaNoWriMo demands our attention. I'm not 100% sure what Terri is going to write. I'll let you know as soon as she gives me the word. As for me, I have changed my mind as to what I want to write. Originally, I was going to write a fantasy with no bad words in it. I've decided I'm not up to keeping my language in check at the moment, so I will write a horror/adventure/love story, of a different kind. Hmm. It will also have military/political and survivalist goodies included. I will stir everything up and see what happens. Dang me anyway!

Happy reading, my friends, and for those of you who are also writing for Camp NaNoWriMo, have fun and keep me posted on how you're doing.

Reading Horror Can Arm Us Against A Horrifying World

https://www.npr.org/2018/08/05/635052036/reading-horror-can-arm-us-against-a-horrifying-world

This is a well-written article by Ruthanna Emrys on National Public Radio. I totally agree with what she has to say, and it's not because I'm a horror author. I know the article is not completely directed at children, but horror is good for them in the same way it is for adults. Go back in time to the old fairy tales and you certainly don't see a lot of fluffy lambies. This spinning rock we're on is not a paradise. Tough lessons are learned along the way.

As the author says:

"Horror as a genre is built around one truth: that the world is full of fearful things. But the best horror tells us more. It tells us how to live with being afraid. It tells us how to distinguish real evil from harmless shadows. It tells us how to fight back. It tells us that we can fight the worst evils, whether or not we all survive them — and how to be worthy of having our tales told afterward."

Ruthanna Emrys presents her case quite well.

CAMP NANOWRIMO

I will be returning to Camp NaNoWriMo next month. That means I'll be writing another novel of at least 50,000 words in April. I'll be writing The Enchanted Arch, a Fantasy novel with no bad words in it. Holy cow, Batman! This should be a challenge from potty-mouth me. I want something my younger children, grandchildren, and great grandson can read, or have read to them. I'll keep my readers posted when it's completed. By the way: older readers should enjoy it, as well.

Happy reading!

Book description:

Novice witch Miranda Rose’s seventh and final task for the Supreme Witch’s Council is to find the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. Once that is achieved, she’ll accomplish her lifelong dream—to become a High Witch of the Wysteria Hedge Haven Clan. In a last-ditch effort to locate the precious gem, she travels through time to 1877.

Hidden within a dilapidated castle tower, Balthazar, a powerful young wizard, refuses to relinquish the stone. In a fit of pique, he zaps Miranda into a field just outside of Merry Olde London.

Sir Maxwell Chadwick is the sole witness to a fiery ball of light streaking across the midnight sky. Curious, he investigates and is surprised to discover a beautiful young woman among the smoldering ashes. Captivated by her alluring beauty, he cannot deny his instant attraction.

As for Miranda, she appreciates the handsome duke’s assistance. However, she finds his well-intentioned interference annoying because it delays her mission. It doesn’t take her long to realize Sir Maxwell holds the key to her heart, as well as her future.

A combination of fate, impractical magic and the Seven-Year Witch disease take the lovers on a rollicking, star-crossed adventure.

COVER REVEAL FOR - THE MONARCH MISSION FILES: CONSPIRACY - BY JENN NIXON!

SciFi Mystery Romance Cover Reveal for The Monarch Mission Files : Conspiracy @JennNixon

Killjoys meets Helix in Jenn Nixon’s next SciFi series coming this April!

Mari Yosoto has been keeping a dark and dangerous secret from everyone since her life-changing accident. No one would believe the truth anyway, her ex-fiancé had seen to that. Instead of wallowing in misery, she stays busy, shuttling cargo to the Moon and back, enjoying the easy work and time alone. When an old EarthCorps acquaintance asks for her help finding a missing girl on Mars, Mari can’t say no, even if it means working with the ex’s former best friend.

Although Trevor Nash took the Mars job to help his former commanding officer, deep down he needed to see Mari again. After trying and failing to find out what happened to her, Trevor makes the best of an odd situation, hoping he can remind Mari of their budding friendship and finally get answers. When their rescue mission goes sideways and they find the not-so-missing girl, a centuries-old conspiracy theory emerges and the only thing more unfathomable is learning Mari’s secret.

Together with their newly formed ragtag team, Mari and Trevor team up and undertake a mission unlike anything either of them has faced before with life-altering and possibly deadly consequences.

Sneak Peak:

Chapter One

Beep. Mari’s heart thumped so hard her ribcage hurt.

Beep. Beep. She lifted her head, shielding her eyes from the bright lights above her head.

Beep, beep. Beep, beep. There was something wrong with her hand. It didn’t feel right.

A pair of voices echoed from behind her, muffled and indecipherable through the fogginess filling her mind. Half of her body felt numb and cold, the other covered in fiery pins and needles. When she cried out in agonizing pain, the pair of brown eyes that filled her vision seemed familiar.

The accident flashed in her head.

Breathing became impossible.

Beep, beep, beep.

“You’re okay, Mari,” the male voice said, making her heart race faster.

Beep, beep, beep, beep. She lifted her arm, stared at her hand and screamed. “What did you do to me?”
