I decided I needed a place to vent and/or to celebrate about writing. I'm a Wordsmith: stories, novels, poems, religious statements, political commentaries. I Post on writing: how to-venting-updates on my writing, and on anything I'm excited about. I will also be posting a story or three. And I review on books and /or writers I'm reading and anything else that might strike my fancy such as concerts I've been to, adventure dreams I recall etc..

My Turn---Above My Pay GradeX2
Some of you will have seen this announcement already, but I add something here and some readers will not have seen it.
First: The tale is Urban Fantasy and deals with someone who has some skill in manipulating matter and energy.
Second: My E-novel--the one I have talked about for over two years--is now listed on smashwords.com and Barnes and Noble web site. Plus a few other places. It is a pre-order and will be listed on other sites as it becomes live Aug 18. On the B&N site however no cover pic of yet even though you can pre-order it.
The novel has had two other titles during the time I have talked about it. First was "New Mage On The Block". I started with that one thinking my MC would be a new member of a group of Mages, but it didn't quite work out that way as I wrote it. Next title "Two Struggles" dealt with the fact that my MC- NA by name-has two different battles to fight throughout the novel. One is the bad guy and his traps and the other was inside her--in her heart dealing with much of her emotional baggage.
Third: So here is the shorter blurb from Smashwords to explain more about the story.
My name is NA. I can change matter and energy; so far I've used it to help fight mythical creatures and help women escape from their abusers. Now I find myself in a situation totally above my pay grade. Someone had the bright idea I could stop a very bad event from happening--after I survive a mother grizzly, a griffin, a nest of ghosts, deadly plants, a man wanting revenge, and inner conflicts.
Here is the its page on Smashwords.com

At the same time I redid the covers for my two story sets and cleaned the stories some.

I love your blurb. I stumbled on the change of tenses, but understand that awkwardness as your main character anticipates the upcoming events, and overcomes the "bright idea." I especially enjoy the last 2 words. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your #SaturdayScenes at Google+
Thank you. My editor did have to correct some tense changes--hopefully she got them all--in the novel. But talking First Person about coming events can be, as you say, a bit awkward.
