Let me share a SECRET with you

book cover by arakawafan

You better believe I'm sharing a secret with you.  I'm going to tell you about Guard the Sacred, and how this book was once a mere idea and now is going to be in the works once Nano madness is over and etc.

Guard the Sacred won't sound familiar to you from the title, but I've actually talked about it in the past.  The book was originally titled The Guards of Fairyland --thank God I changed the title.  The second book in the Lights trilogy is one you'll be unlikely to forget, but hey what do I know?  I'm the author so of course I'll be bias like that.  How about I let you read the full pitch and you can decide for yourself.

Guard the Sacred

Book 2 in the Lights trilogy

Book: Adventure, Science fiction/Fantasy, Romance

Guard this place as if it means more than your life...because in some ways it does.  If you cannot accept that...leave.

Fifty years ago...

There were eight magicians who guarded at the gates of Fairyland, one of the most magical places in the world.  They suffered and fought for a place they knew little about but was aware of its significance.

______________

It has been four years since the followers confronted the Dark King.  Much has changed since that time, and now only a group of ten remain together.

A new enemy has revealed himself.  Malvagio, a Dark magician, sends a letter warning the followers.  He plans to take over the magical world, and he will eliminate any who get in his way.

Trisha and Keith join together again in this new adventure.  While they know advanced magic, they have not a clue of the terrors soon to come.

Planning ahead...Yeah right, I wish

I actually have done some planning of what I want to get accomplished for today, but whether I will actually complete these plans I've set out with is another story.  I have to work until 8pm tonight, so it's not exactly like my afternoon is free me to blog and whatnot.
Later this evening I hope to....

• continue working on chapter 7 of Cursed with Power  --I feel like I've wasted way too long staring at the first two paragraphs for this chapter and I need to get the story moving along not only so I can have a state of peace in mind but so my readers --yes, you all--can read what you've been waiting for
• finish chapter 2 of Certain Fate --I've procrastinated with this book, I admit it.  However, I honestly do want to write the first 10,000 words so it can at last go public.  Hooray, hooray!  (What, am I the only one excited?)
• Revise/re-write/do something with the prologue off Everblue --not all that many people have read Everblue, but I've recently tried to begin polishing it because I'm so sick and tired of saying "here's another book I haven't finished"
• Finish prologue for The Magic of Light --yes, I'm thinking a prologue is necessary and besides I really like prologues and feel if I can pull the reader in at that point of the story then no worries...yeah, I wish it was that easy....

As you can see I have written out too much for myself to do today, but I pretty much go through this everyday.  Why am I sharing this with you?  It's so when and if I am blogging later tonight you can remind me of this long list full with madness I have to get working on.

Really, I mean look at that list.  FOUR BOOKS?!  It is madness and it's probably mentally destroying me working on so many projects as once, but as I was working with different ideas I would lose track of where to go next and then I would begin a new project.  Now while I have Cursed with Power there are at least these other books which can keep me company when I feel that Celestria and I have lost connection with each other entirely.

For any of you avid readers out there, I'll let you in on a secret: I'm going to post the prologue of The Magic of Light on this blog once I have it finished.  You will be able to read it.  Shh, don't let anybody know I told you.

<-----And maybe it's just me, but that's a really creepy face to make...even if she is winking.

The Magic of Light *another new cover but this is probably staying*

Go ahead and hate me as you realize this is another new cover for The Magic of Light.  I know I just recently had posted one, but I happened to come across this picture last night and just knew this picture had to be for The Magic of Light.  I had been going through fantasy images for the Magicians series blog and so I was of course getting tired of the same crap that always shows up, but this was beautiful and since I can't use it for the Magicians series because it's too bright and has light and all I knew there was only one other book it could go with.

Throwing out the old, bringing in the NEW

For a long time now I haven't liked that the trilogy The Magic of Light is a part of was called The Magic of Light trilogy.  It was very uncreative of me, but maybe that's also because I decided on that when I was 12 years old.

Anyways, I finally decided that I needed to throw out that old part of the trilogy and throw in something new.

the Lights trilogy
I think that works out better....
And since I'm blank for ideas with starting chapter 7 of Cursed with Power right now I'm either going to finish chapter 2 of Certain Fate or....God forbid re-write --yes I said the R word--the first chapter of The Magic of Light.
(I'll be honest with you...That book hasn't been revised in a long time, so really re-writing can only help it at this point.  Trust me.)
