Through the Infinite Darkness

A young adult novel being written this November by Tasha Reese.

In 359 BC, in Megara, Greece at the Cult of Nyx, Eris has grown into a beautiful young woman with long flowing hair that is a mixture of sunlight, moonlight, and darkness. She is kept hidden from everyone because of the strange writing that appears on her body that continually moves and changes between black and a golden white. 

The High Priestess has tried for years to find out what the writing says with no luck and so she sends Eris, Mira, and Horatio to the Oracle of Delphi for answers. Along the way Eris meets with Roman soldiers, regular people, and some of the gods themselves. Eris learns about her past and how she will influence what happens in the world around her, as well as why the writing on her body

disappears

when there is a New Moon.

 Eight

A horror novel being written this November by YWP participant Laurel Moore.

Eight is about three 13-year-old girls, Anne-Marie, Arushi, and Lavender. One day, they find a Magic 8 Ball and start asking it questions. What they don’t know is that the Magic 8 Ball is haunted and is slowly sucking in their souls. Sooner or later, they will be trapped inside of it, forever. 

All of the good souls that were sucked inside have been turned evil by the Magic 8 Ball. When they accidentally break the ball, the evil souls are released into the world, and the girls have to go collect all of the souls, accompanied by a boy in their class who is obsessed with ghost hunting.
