anthimeriaIn reading over my journal, I noticed that I spend a lot of time talking about my writing and very little explaining what, exactly, each story is. Therefore, if you're new to this journal or just need a refresher, I've typed up a list of all the work I've talked about on this journal along with a summary of what it is, so the next time I mention The Novel or my steampunk book, you'll know what I'm talking about!
Wingless
YA urban fantasy/horror about a girl whose best friend can suddenly turn into a swan and all the monsters they attract, human and magical. First in a trilogy. Editing.
The Forest War
Middle grade fantasy. Aster is a day fairy in a forest at war. When her mother is killed by night fairies, Aster must venture into their stronghold and sabotage the Night Queen in order to protect her people. But war is never as simple as black and white--not even when it's night vs day. Worldbuilding and outlining.
Moxie
YA superhero. This one's taking quite a while, and is sort of an ongoing background project when I'm not focused on anything else. I definitely want to write at least one series in this world, so I'm being as careful as I can about the worldbuilding, and my main character is being tricky, too. I know all about her superhero life, but her civilian life is complicated.
The Girl She Truly Was

Well Enough
Short story published in the anthology Sword and Sorceress XXV.

Trial

Scorch has failed the Trial to get into the school twice, and this year's his last chance. They're the least likely to make it through the Trial, and they're stuck with each other. Editing, currently shelved.
