Update: Editing Process Almost Done
I've almost completed the editing of Black Grotto, and it should hopefully be published sometime in June. I've included an excerpt from the beginning of chapter 21, and you can also read the first chapter by clicking the link below.
Here is the excerpt from the beginning of chapter 21, titled "The Stones".
The black, wet pavement passed beneath the humming tires of Bea’s dark blue Mini. Another road trip lay ahead. She rolled along in a meditative and thoughtful mood that matched the low hanging clouds and soft drizzle that covered her windshield. Her body was swaying slightly with each curve and dip in the road as she casually grasped the steering wheel with one hand; the other lay atop the leather knob of the gearshift. Almost without thinking, she changed gears at the whim of her car’s engine, the demands of the road, and her own need for power and acceleration.
Traveling north out of Glencoe, Bea’s neurons
hummed in sync with her car but journeyed faster and farther and covered more
ground. She sensed that going back to her birthplace would be exhilarating,
sure, but also very unsettling. There was no way for her to know what would
happen once she arrived. Her newfound spiritual connection to the earth’s deep magic
in conjunction with everything that she had learned on her quest would more
than likely unearth something new and unexpected. The thought made her chuckle
to herself as she realized…actually, her entire journey had been that way. “Why
would this be any different?”
