New Blog Entry

I hope you're all doing well and feeling fine.
I pulled out some notes for the Max Hamby series from 2015 and reworked them. They were notes to let me know how Max got his stone/magic and thought I'd share a bit. You can find the rest on the site...

They moved closer to the bassinet in the center of the room. Esther picked the baby up and held him close. “Hello, little one.” She gently ran her hand over the top of his head. “He’s so small and pink.” The baby opened his eyes. “Just like your father.” She planted a kiss on his forehead. “I don’t think we should do this. Annora was adamant the child remain untouched.”

“Esther, put him down. We must hurry,” said Griselda.

Petunia Pitt laid a hand on Esther’s arm and leaned in to get a better look. Green eyes flecked with gold blinked up at her. “They are coming, ladies.”

Esther placed the baby back in his bassinet. “Annora should be here.”

Griselda blew out a breath and raised a hand. “I understand your concerns, dear sister, but Annora would never understand.”

Petunia put her hand into the front pocket of her coat. Her thin eyebrows came together. Wrinkles deepened across her forehead. “I know I put it in here.” She felt the outside of her coat, then jammed her hands into the side pockets.

“We are putting the child in danger,” said Esther, crossing her arms.

Petunia Pitt snapped her fingers and reached into a pocket in the inside of her coat. “It is the only way,” she said, pulling her hand out. She held a blood-red diamond up to the light, turning it this way and that. “Beautiful,” she said, placing it in Griselda’s outstretched hand.

“Griselda, are you sure this is safe? Are there side effects?” asked Esther, wringing her hands.

“Esther, stop worrying. He won’t feel a thing,” said Griselda.
