Hi all!

If you weren’t aware, I participated in NaNoWriMo again this year (National Novel Writing Month) and started writing the first book in the Curse of Anubis series: Halfway. From day three I started posting quotes from the book on my Twitter account, which I have collected here for you all to read! Some are in Tahira’s point of view, while others are in Bastet’s. If you want me to do this when I participate in Camp NaNoWriMo too, let me know!

Days 3-10

Days 11-20

Days 21-30

That’s it for this week! Let me know if you want me to post daily quotes whenever I do NaNoWriMo or Camp NaNoWriMo. Next week I’m going to talk about the Elemental Dragons calendar that I’m doing on my Facebook page. See you next week!

Fantasy Reads for Cold Winter Nights

Hi all!

If you haven’t guessed from the title, I have announced my NaNoWriMo project for this year! For those that don’t know what NaNoWriMo is, it’s National Novel Writing Month in November. 30 days to write 50K. It will be my third time participating and this time I’m going for something a little different…

A Young Adult Horror.

Ever since I started writing Mute I’ve been bitten by the horror bug and want to continue writing in that genre! Although, of course, this will be a Young Adult Horror rather than a New Adult Horror.

The book is the first of four in the Curse of Anubis series: Halfway.

You’ll follow Tahira, who at fifteen years old finds herself trapped in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. She will be guided by the Egyptian Goddess Bastet, who will help her navigate this new world and find out how the Egyptian Gods are connected to the zombie hordes. She will meet new friends, new enemies, and discover why she was chosen to be spared from a fate worse than death. The following Egyptian Gods will be in the book: Bastet, Anubis, Set and Thoth. More may be added as the story grows and shifts with the characters.

I think the most fun I’ve had planning with this one is the designs for Bastet! She will be portrayed as an Egyptian Mau cat, with different coloured fur. I’m also hoping to get some Egyptian Maus on the covers (when they’re eventually designed).

This will not be a regular zombie story, where a group of survivors are hoping to find a safe haven. In this series there is no safe haven. There is no escape. Sometimes the creatures inside are worse than the ones outside.

I’m hoping to hit 50K with a few days to go so I can get some more writing in. This will be the next series that I’m focussing on. I hope to publish Halfway in 2023, so I have plenty of time to work on it.

If you have a NaNoWriMo account and want to be buddies, just shoot me a request! I’m always happy to meet new people.

That’s it for this week, I hope you enjoyed reading! See you next week.
