Run In The Blood - Three Months till Release!
I can't believe an entire month has already passed since my last post about Run In The Blood!
Over the next month I'll be editing this novel, working on the first draft of another as well as a couple anthology pieces, and... turning 30! Truly terrifying stuff.
One of things I've found the most difficult when telling people about my upcoming novel is answering the question "What's it about?" I want to make sure I don't leave out anything exciting, but I also don't want to explain the whole plot...
Luckily, the other day it hit me that this is probably the best way to sum it up:
Run In The Blood is a fantasy novel. It has cutthroat pirates, and powerful magic. It has scaled beasts and corrupt monarchs. It has tons of all the fun fantasy stuff that I loved reading about as a kid, as well as a romance that I wish I'd been able to read as a kid.
But, at it's heart, Run In The Blood is really just a story about the moment you realise that your parents/guardians are just people, like everyone else.
The three main characters all have very different relationships with their parents. One doesn't even remember hers. Regardless, their lives are all affected by the decisions that their guardians have made, for better or worse.
That's all for now! Looking forward to sharing more in next month's update.
I leave you with this picture of my cat, Dutch, who has yet to figure out that I'm a people.
