The stories behind the stories

By now you have eaten your last leftover turkey sandwich and Thanksgiving, not to mention the month of November, is a pleasant memory.
[image error]A group of dedicated writers only put the nail in November’s coffin the evening of Dec. 7, 2014, at the Thank God It’s Over party, a celebration to mark the end of National Novel Writing Month.

NaNoWriMo challenges participants around the world to write 50,000 words (about 175 pages) between Nov. 1 and 11:59:59 p.m. on Nov. 30. The novel can be any genre, in any language. There is no prize for winning except for bragging rights. In fact you have to buy your own “Winner” T-shirt. So why do it? For many people who have always wanted to write a novel, NaNoWriMo is the kick in the pants they need to get going. The community that grows around the effort gives encouragement and the deadline provides motivation to persevere. For many, it’s such a satisfying experience that they participate every year.


In our “home” region of Corpus Christi, Texas, US, 107 novelists participated and wrote a total of 2,612,025 words. Not everyone “won” NaNoWrimo but in this case winning isn’t the point. What’s important is giving it a try and giving it your all, writing despite holiday dinners, house guests, bouts of the flu, writer’s block and sheer exhaustion. The stories behind the stories often rival the actual novels for drama and suspense.


NaNoWriMo 2014 winner David Carpenter’s project was “The Empyreal Queen.” David says, “I hit 50,000 words by the end of November, but I’m guessing it will take more than twice that to finish it. The second half of the story line and character arcs need a lot of work.” His project started out as a picture, a visual art prompt posted on the web site I09. “The artwork depicted a young man wearing clothes suggestive of a desert caravan, kneeling in front of a robotic pack animal, rifle in hand. David says, “It’s the kind of picture that conjures up images of adventure and derring-do, so I took the prompt and wrote a 200 word story about the character and situation depicted. I enjoyed writing it, so I decided to make it the starting point for my NaNoWriMo effort in November.” David considers the project as homage of sorts to another author that he admires, Andre Norton. “It’s a nod in the direction of an author whose work was a big influence on me in the early part of my life,” he says.

Deborah Gatchel attempted NaNo a couple times several years ago. This year her husband decided that she should participate. “I have been working on a trilogy, but thought I needed a break from that series, so prepped for another book that I had on the back burner,” she says. “Then, 12:01 a.m. Nov 1, I decided to go with the final book of the series. The first two weeks I did well, keeping ahead of goal most of the time and was at 25k on the 15th. Then I had to be out of town for my girls’ tournament. I came back with a migraine, so, in one and a half weeks, wrote 200 words. I got back to writing on Thanksgiving Day. I wrote the remaining 25k in four days. I met some great people during that time as we hung out together on Facebook doing writing sprints and cheering each other across the finish line. I managed to finish with two hours to spare.”



NaNoWriMo isn’t the only writing that Deborah does. Her short story Glitter and Glue ” made it to the final selection round for an anthology, “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Hope & Miracles.”


Stacey Tuley worked on “Lessons from Loss.” The book’s synopsis describes it best: “Life has a certain way of slapping us in the face when we least expect it. In the midst of these dark seasons, our inherent nature drives our wayward quest to understand the unfathomable cruelties of our world. We search without resolution for the reasons behind our anguish. If we don’t embrace some hard and seemingly unfair lessons, chances are we will not endure well. With the well being of ourselves and those we hold dear at stake, we are given no choice in the matter. We can’t undo tragedies, we can’t bring back loved ones that we have lost, we can’t always reverse the illness that we find ourselves and our loved ones in the midst of. So what do we do?” Stacey says that in her writing “I am sharing my experience, strength, and hope so that perhaps it may help on your life’s journey. The events of 2004 drastically changed my life personally, as well as my family’s life. We will never be the same. Our journey of healing and restoration continues, but with each challenge we look to God, our constant, faithful, and steady source of strength. Praying that you are strengthened on your journey and that you will be equipped to handle what life throws your way as you embrace these lessons from loss.”


NaNoWriMo projects will not necessarily see the light of day. There’s absolutely no guarantee that the novel will ever be published. A NaNoWriMo novel isn’t even long enough to interest most publishers. Although there have been successful novels that are roughly 50,000 words long, most commercial novels run from 65,000 to 100,000 words or more.


Many writers, however, continue writing long after NaNoWriMo is over and do go onto share their writing. All three of my published novels, “The Lost King,” “The King’s Ransom” and “The King’s Redress” began as NaNoWriMo projects. For NaNoWriMo 2014 I wrote 50,896 words toward Book Four in that series, working title “The Redoubt,” and hope to have it finished and between covers by Summer 2015.


Think you might like to stop talking about that novel you’ve always wanted to write and actually start writing it? Target NaNoWriMo 2015 or consider Camp NaMoWriMo held in April and July. Visit nanowrimo.org and campnanowrimo.org for more information. I’ll see you there.

It’s magic

I gave a gift to myself for winning National Novel Writing Month 2014, something a little magical. It’s a #fermonic field detector ring. I have no idea what a fermonic field is but if there’s one nearby I’ll now be able to detect it.
Actually, one explanation is that a fermonic field is generated by iron in blood, and further, that one’s sex can accurately be discerned by the quantity/quality of one’s blood-iron. So, by extension, it can also be determined by a feromonic field detector, such as the ring.

This would be handy if I happened upon some aliens or paranormal beings whose sex is difficult to establish through simple observation. Apparently it is also important to have an accurate feromonic field reading when one is transporting bio-matter such as by teleporting. As everyone knows teleportation devices must be calibrated differently for males and females because of variations in blood-iron between the sexes. So if I end up in a StarTrek episode I’ll be a big help as long as I’m wearing my fermonic field detector ring.


How this will make me a better, more prolific writer I don’t know but who cares? The ring is darn cool.

Save the date

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING BEWILLIAM
The Bewildering Adventures of King Bewilliam Happy birthday, King Bewilliam, officially “born” on Dec. 14, 2011 with the publication of The Lost King. The seed for the story took root in my writer’s mind many years prior to that but sprouted during my first writing marathon, National Novel Writing Month 2010. Since then he’s continued to grow and thrive in The Bewildering Adventures of King Bewilliam high fantasy series, with Book Two, The King’s Ransom, and Book Three, The King’s Redress. I began The Redoubt, Book Four, last month during National Novel Writing Month 2014.

The whole of the Chalklands (and the Palisades too, not to mention all of cyberspace) will be celebrating. Join the festivities. It’s the king’s birthday but you’ll get the gifts. Check back here for details.

Let’s do this

Lilo Abernathy Author friend Lilo Abernathy reports that Amazon just selected her urban fantasy/paranormal romance, The Light Who Shines, for a Kindle Daily Deal on Thursday, November 20th.
Lilo says, “This is big deal. I equate it to winning the lottery,” and would like to use this to propel her book to the #1 position. I know how she feels because my own novel, The Lost King, has ranked in the Kindle Top 100 Paid Sales. So let’s help Lilo’s book shoot to the top of the charts.  Here’s what you need to know:

The Light Who Shines


When Supernatural Investigation Bureau agent Bluebell Kildare (a.k.a. Blue) arrives at the scene of the crime, it’s obvious the grotesquely damaged body of the deceased teenage boy was caused by far more than a simple hit and run; and she vows to catch the killer. Using her innate sixth sense, Blue uncovers a powerful magical artifact nearby. She soon discovers it acts as a key to an ancient Grimoire that was instrumental in the creation of the Vampire breed and still holds the power to unravel the boundaries between Earth and the Plane of Fire.


Blue and her clever wolf Varg follow a trail that starts at the Cock and Bull Tap and leads all through the town of Crimson Hollow. Between being sidelined by a stalker who sticks to the shadows and chasing a suspect who vanishes in thin air, the case is getting complicated. If that isn’t enough, Dark Vampire activity hits a record high, and hate crimes are increasing. However, it’s Blue’s growing feelings for Jack Tanner, her sexy Daylight Vampire boss, that just might undo her.


While Blue searches for clues to nail the perpetrator, it seems someone else is conducting a search of their own. Who will find whom first?


Danger lurks in every corner, and Blue needs all her focus in this increasingly dangerous game or she risks ending up the next victim.


The Light Who Shines will be on sale today for $1.99. So grab a copy while it’s hot. And keep up with Lilo on

Warm up with an #InfernoBlast

So, early winter storms and cold fronts got you chilly? How about a lil’ something to warm you up, like an Inferno?



Passions so intense they’re almost too hot to handle.





Publication Date: November 17, 2014
Genre: Erotic Romance





Devour Me: Taryn Cummings could not believe she was accepted into the prestigious International Institute of Culinary Arts culinary institute she dreamed of studying at in beautiful Paris, France. It was a far cry from her unglamorous life back home in New York where she helped her mother run their small family-owned restaurant called Sam’s. The Institute churned out the top chefs in the world, including the wildly sexy and eccentric Master Chef, Errol King, whose celebrity personality was larger than life.   She wanted excitement in a city of romance and thrills, but arrived to find her apartment barely livable and herself in need of a suitable place to stay. A chance meeting at the Institute brings her face-to-face with her new roommate…the devilishly charming Errol King, who would be guest teaching her class this term.   The attraction is as hot as the fire they cook with, and while Errol King, the notorious bad boy chef with an attitude, can get anyone he wanted into his bed, he wanted this woman more than anything. Something about her sweet innocence and sad eyes reach into his harden heart, but is it enough for him to forget his past?




Belong to You: My honeymoon was almost everything I dreamed it would be, a tropical paradise, turquoise water, romantic walks on the beach, and loads and loads of mind shattering sex. The only thing missing was the groom.



After seven years of coasting through a relationship with Michael, my senses were numb. A week of passion with a stranger was just what I needed to clear my head and take back control of my life. But how do you move on when the man that was only supposed to be a fling somehow seeps into your soul and steals your heart?

 



 





Tattooed Dots: Easton Crawford put his modeling career and good looks before his marriage until it was over. Years later, he is finally learning how to be the father his daughter needed him to be. He’s not looking for a new mom for his daughter—just nightly casual hook-ups. When his best friend, Avery, convinces him that a good way to meet a lot of single women is to go on a singles cruise, Easton finds more than just a hook-up when he meets a fellow cruiser, Brooke.



Brooke Bradley has taken care of her younger sister, Bailee, for most of their lives. While their mother was enjoying not being a mother, Brooke became the adult in the household at thirteen. She had always taken care of the people in her life, especially her boyfriend, Jared. If it wasn’t for Brooke, Jared wouldn’t know how to function throughout the day.



When Brooke’s best friend, Nicole, gives her a gift of going on a cruise without telling her that it’s a singles cruise, will Brooke find someone willing to be her constant and finally leave Jared?



Brooke and Easton learn that people are brought into their lives for many reasons. Over time, they find out what those reasons are. Some are to be a temporary acquaintance while others are there for life.





Chase: A struggling actress finds herself in over her head when she takes a job as an escort and finds her first client is a sexy, dominating presidential candidate.

 



 





3:AM Kisses: Baya Brighton is looking forward to her first year at Whitney Briggs University, new friends, dorm life, and finally being close to her brother again. Love is the last thing on the list, but when Baya meets her brother’s roommate she begins to have thoughts and feelings that make even her blush.



Bryson Edwards has a secret he prefers buried in the past and long forgotten. He keeps himself busy with the important things, loose girls, fast cars, and long nights working at the string of bars his family owns. When his roommate’s sister shows up on the scene, she’s far too innocent and sweet for him but he can’t shake Baya out of his mind and worse, it looks like she’s seeping into his heart as well.





Adam’s Apple: Adam Kingsley reigns as the prince of Manhattan. His looks and money let him get away with all types of sins. It’s been an intoxicating ride until he meets Kathryn Delcour, an alluring socialite with unique erotic tastes.   Adam finds this complex woman too tempting to resist and will stop at nothing to have her, yet she is warned to stay away from him and his player ways. But will she be strong enough to hold the charismatic Adam Kingsley at bay?   The passionate lure of ancient sexual practices and a former business partner wanting to inflict a deadly revenge set the scene for an erotic love story. All told in Adam’s point of view.





Fixed on You: A bartender with obsessive tendencies and a billionaire built on dominance come together in a steamy story that explores the line between head games and love-cures-all.

 





Consequences: Every action has consequences.



Waking in an unfamiliar bedroom in a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols is terrified to discover that a chance encounter led her into the cruel hands of her abductor, Anthony Rawlings. Claire has no understanding of why she’s there, but it’s been made abundantly clear—she is now his acquisition and every action has consequences.



Learn the rules to survive.



Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive her new reality—every aspect of her livelihood depends upon the tall, dark-eyed tycoon who is a true master of deception. Driven by unknown demons, he has no tolerance for imperfection, in any aspect of his life, including his recent acquisition. Anthony may appear to the world as a handsome, benevolent businessman, but in reality Claire knows firsthand that he’s a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as you’re told, public failure is not an option, and appearances are of the utmost importance.



Captivate the captor.



To fit together the pieces of the puzzle, Claire must follow his rules. Will her plan work, or will Anthony become enthralled by Claire’s beauty, resilience, and determination, changing the game forever? If that happens, will either of them survive the consequences?





Seduction & Temptation: Daughter of a very powerful drug lord, Lola Anders life has always been dangerous and full of dark secrets. It’s something that’s always bothered her, but even more so after her mother dies. Lola thinks there’s more to her mother’s death than what she’s been told; that one of her father’s many enemies might have had something to do with it. And when a secret is revealed about her mother, Lola decides it’s time to leave the dangerous life she’s grown up in and get some answers.



But before Lola can get too far, she’s kidnapped by Frankie Catherlson, one of her father’s enemies, and given a choice—commit murder or let her father die. Worse, Layton Everett is the guy chosen to make sure she goes through with the hit.



Lola has known Layton since they were kids, but their friendship was ruined when he went to work for Frankie without so much as an explanation. Lola thinks Layton is just keeping an eye on her to make sure she goes through with the murder, but when it all comes down to it, Layton just might be on her side.
