The Peace of the Gods (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of the first draft reaching 40,000 words—so close to 50k, omg—here’s an excerpt, a story Nadin reads in a fairy library (everything is subject to change, as this is a first draft): Under the maelstrom sky, a pond. Beneath that pond, a wellspring. Around that pond, the forest. The heads of the trees nodded over the small liquid hollow, needles a lattice as though the spring had reached into the air to form a shield against the violence

The Weeping of Adren (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of the first draft reaching 30,000 words, here’s an excerpt (Tareh’s name subject to change in subsequent drafts. As is everything else, as it is a first draft): Another nod.

In celebration of the first draft of Hunter and Prey now being at 20,000 words, here’s an excerpt from Adren trying to teach Nadin the dialect the magical creatures speak: …he wasn’t exactly a quick student. “Okay, I think I get it,” Nadin said. “Shall means will and an means if.

Nadin and His Demons (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of hitting 10,000 words in the first draft, here’s an excerpt of what I’ve written so far in Hunter and Prey (this may end up reading differently in the final book, but that’s part of the fun, don’t’cha know): Nadin had checked the unicorn’s magic after Adren had told him what Loram had seen while they were in Evinad.

Hunter and Prey Has an EPIC Writing Playlist

Starting today, I’m writing Hunter and Prey, book 3 in the White Changeling series, as a part of NaNoWriMo. To kick things off, a special post about this book’s writing playlist seems appropriate. (Seeing as I’ve been torturing myself with it for the past two weeks.) The Hunter and Prey Writing Playlist As Hunter and Prey centres around a werewolf, it’s only appropriate that, after watching Blood and Chocolate again, I found the book’s anchor song in that movie’s soundtrack:
