Primal Magic update - nearing the finish line

The heat abated for a bit today, long enough for me to get some more work done. Here's the newest word count, and an excerpt (remember from the first draft) for the fun of it.

Ancestral Magic
I leave tomorrow on a plane to New Orleans for the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival. The plane leaves at six in the morning which means I need to be at the airport no later than four…blah. So, while I won’t be around much tomorrow, and the business part of the trip being networking and learning how to promote Ancestral Magic when it comes out this fall through PD Publishing, I thought I’ve leave you with some sneak peeks in the form of a few quotes/lines/paragraphs/sections from Ancestral Magic.

I’ve been writing all this time on Primal Magic, but my beta’s been a bit busy…this means no edits. So, instead of making you wait, here is the word count as if chapter 11 (which I just finished) and an excerpt from chapters 2 and 3. I hope ya’ll enjoy the taste.

Okay, news is I’ve started on the sequel to Ancestral Magic and gotten back my first round of edits from my beta reader. I thought it might be fun to post an excerpt after each chapter I finish. This time I have 5 chapters to choose from so I think chapter 1 will be the one I take the clip from. If folks enjoy it, I might try to do a small clip of the others as I wait for edits for chap 6. I like ya’ll too much to force you to read the chapters pre-first edits ;)

Nearing the finish line

Well, I've made it over the 8k mark on my story "Wild Things" so anything after this is icing. I think I have about 2k left and then I'll edit, and fill in surnames, town names, all the research stuff. I'm amazed I've gotten so much done in two days. This might even be ready for betas by Thurday if I'm lucky. *wink* hint hint  

Here's a sample...

Spider Woman

Last week I shared my 2008 writing schedule. This week I am working hard to finalize the edits on Natural Order (#1 on the list) and I thought it might be fun to share some of my most favorite quotes from that manuscript, since I’ve got that book on the brain lately. Some I had to leave out because they’d have given too much away, but I think I found some fun one anyways. We’ll start off with the blurb for the book and go from there. I also added pics and character description of each of the characters I consider primary to give you a better feel for who’s speaking. Have fun and I hope ya’ll had/have a great Winter Solstice/Kwanza/Hanukah/Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate.
