Eternal is out there now

yay

Have been busy writing chapters for the new books , giving myself a little break form the Bonding series today.
wrote some good bits

humours lurks in the style and less dark that bonding and more bubbly

very teenage angst, not fitting into body, work , life etc. making new friends
any way cant let too much slip, not just yet.

The transference ceremony

Bonded.  The transference ceremony


“This is how we sustain our power, our magic, generation after generation, passing our thoughts, our knowledge and our legacy on to the next generation.” Carne stood still looking at the small box on the table, he couldn’t comprehend in his mind how it could hold his mother.

snip


Bonded-


'While further back, wooden pews filled the area near the back of the hall; his mother would have said they were for those unimportant people, commoners as she called them, the weak watered down type of witch and warlocks.' Carne quote


 
 
 
“Couldn’t we sit up there?” Lily nodded to the velvet covered, gilt chairs carefully placed in rows around the stage.

“There for the top nobs.” Helen said opening her bag and looking inside and pulling out her glass case. “You and me and the likes, we have to make do.” She said wiggling her bum on the hard seat like it would get softer if she kneaded it in.

“I love you Lillian!” He said still not turning to see her, “But you’re not ready.” He stood still for another second, before turning and looking at her with his red tear filled eyes. For an indescribable moment their eyes held each other, as tears began to fall.

cartoon


    “So you wanted a fight did you? Witch!” The strange voice yelled as Isis wiped the pouring blood from her lips, with the back of her hand and laughed menacingly. “I think it’s time we put you out of your misery, don’t you?” Isis cackled.

 

My son sean hasd come up with a novel idea.
using the fight scene ( small part below)
we are goign to try making a cartoon between us :/ not sure how easy this will be but we're gonna give it a go
 
 
 
 
 Lily closed her eyes as blood filled her mouth, and she found she couldn’t breathe. When she was sure she going to die she suddenly heard Emily as she pushed forward, pushing all the other voices away, in her still mind she whispered, and with her ragged breath Lily repeated,

    “Ish Nat Tish colt tom.” Mumbling the words weakly she held up her wavering hand toward Isis.

 

    Even though she couldn’t open her eyes, swollen and half shut from injury, she heard Isis’ ear splitting scream and she tried to open her eyes as much as she could. Lily saw Isis propel across the room smashing into the wall.

    “Go!” The voices in Lily’s head shouted. As Isis sprang up and was on her feet in an instant, her black eyes fixed firmly on Lily.

 

    Mumbling the transport spell, she flashed from the horror and destruction of the room and landed with a painful thud outside the main gate.

    As she felt the harsh coldness of the tarmac pressed against her swollen cheek, Lily heard Isis scream inside the house.

Bleeding, unable to move, she whispered with a ragged breath,

   “Home…” Praying she would transport.
    As Lily felt her consciousness ebbing away

“Are they asleep?” Carne asked as Lily walked into the room.

“Yes, sorry I read them a story and then Coral wanted to chat.” Lily replied sitting down next to him on the sofa.

“Everybody wants to chat, ask me how I am, where I’ve been, how I feel…” Lily remarked, thinking back to all the phone calls she had had since coming home a few days ago.

“Hmmm.” Lily said snuggling into Carnes shoulder.

“You’re just popular.” He laughed, “Are you tired?” He continued, flicking through the TV channels.

“Yes, but I’m also comfy.” She snuggled deeper into Carnes chest as he hung his arm around her and rubbed her elbow as they watched TV as Lily tried to relax and push the worries away but it was harder than it seemed. She felt on edge.

Just as she was starting to feel like she was drifting of safely in Carne’s arms a servant knocked on the door.

“Sorry to disturb you Sir, but there’s an urgent phone call.”

“Who is it?” He glanced at his watch.

“It’s very late.”

“It’s the hospital Sir.” The woman said, her voice sounding a little concerned. Lily sat wearily up as Carne rose, she could feel her heart flutter, why would the hospital be ringing, Lily sat up right as Carne took the phone form the woman’s hand.

“Hello, Lord De Deveron here.” He looked over at Lily as he spoke,

“Yes, she is my wife…Yes…Next of kin, I don’t understand…” Carne looked shocked suddenly paler and she could feel the worry shake him, was it her dad? No she had just seen him, he seemed fine, was it the stress of losing her? Maybe he wasn’t fine.

“Carne.” Lily called out softly.


“Hold on.” Carne spoke into the phone, “I’ll get her.” He held the phone in his hand; Lily noted the worry etched on his face.

“Lillian it’s the hospital, the intensive care unit…” Lily transported to Carne’s side too scared to ask, to know nervously she took the phone from his hand.

“Hello?” Lily felt the rising fear rush to the surface, which had only just, began to settle.

“Sorry to ring Ms De Deveron, but I am a nurse in the ITU at Amber Brook Hospital and you have been listed as next of kin for a…Mr Worthington.” The nurse paused and she gasped loudly as panic rushed in.

“Logan!” She murmured looking up at Carnes eyes.

“Yes…A Mr Logan Worthington.”

“What’s happened?” Lily asked her voice braking; Carne reached out his hand offering some comfort holding Lily’s hand as she listened to the information.

“I’m afraid there was a serious car crash this afternoon and Mr Worthington was treated at the scene by paramedics and attending doctors until he was stable enough to move. He was then brought in to us here at ICU. The doctors are concerned about the extent of his injuries and have asked me to ring you as a matter of urgency, to see if possible could you please come in now.”

“Okay.” Lily answered numbly.

“Is he going to be ok?”

“As I said, his injuries are severe and the doctor has suggested you spend as much time as possible with him.” The nurse added bluntly.

“Right…” She felt her body shake, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

“I’m coming.” She said weakly hanging up the phone.

“Lily what is it?” Carne asked.

“Logan…” Lily started her mind shocked.

“He’s had an accident.” She paused, the facts, the panic now hitting home.

“He might die!” She turned and held on to Carnes body, the tears flowing.

“Logan…” She cried her heart tearing.

Wednesday 22 August 2012

ten day countdown

Ten days....yes only ten days until the release of Eternal

ooh so exciting !!

I have just realised I have used size 12 font and the other books are size 14.
Not sure whether to change it or not, there are parts through which are different fonts (curly for Carnes handwriting) and in a different size.
Not sure how long it would take to do as I would have to do in parts and this is quite a long book like The Bonding.

I'll see I have a few days yet to tweak.

The Bonding


The Bonding...

Can you imagine being told you have to marry a stranger?

Someone you have never met just because you’re told that you have too?

Lillian Tempest is a witch, a witch who however who is not very apt at magic.

Her whole life is about to change as she is forced to marry because of a prophecy.

This prophecy reveals her destiny as part of a magical couple, who will be bonded for eternity, their power unlike another.

Editing

Got an amazing amount done yesterday so much site lap top was overheating and I had to use the fan pad underneath.
am over half way through and was sitting there thinking last night as soon as I've finished I need to re write the blurbs as mine are crap!

Loads of ideas came to me last night when I couldn't sleep
Thinks about Logan mainly, there's such a big change in him in Eternal I need to make sure readers can see it happening a lot about him dreamt really come out till Endless Im afraid there will be those who will be left wondering what on earth Is going in with him.

Have already stretched book by adding by about 8 pages it is a bit of a hefty one I think

And I'm not web ending it where I wanted which was later, will see when I get there how it feels.

I was also thinking about the beginning of the bonding which SO does not grab you that needs changing too

Ok plan today is at least ten pages if not more :)

Wednesday 15 August 2012

busy week of writing

I have been very busy writing, and have hit a high today ( highest ranking to date) very happy :)

The Bonding..." is currently ranked #1,650 out of over 400,000 books in the Kindle Store.

Whoop love you guys so much for buying the books xxxxxxx
 and also finished first draft of Eternal.

Now I have to re-read through the book, little notebook in hand and go through and make sure everything is covered and I haven't left loose ends or things not explained.

In fact this is a good fun part of writing as the story is all typed up and now just tidying.
Then of course there is the edit which I will do separately after I and happy everything is where I want it.

Really feeling positive for the September publish :)
