Brief Author Bio: My first novel was written when I was eight, on my mom's old typewriter in the middle of our living room. I banged out three complete childrens' books based off of the character Kirby, and wanted to make my life about writing and illustrating books for children and young adults. In college, I was a Creative Writing major and realized that my writing skills are not in the realm of fiction, but in creative non-fiction. Though I had been writing in that style for many years, I figured it'd be fun to take a chance and write a fiction novel for this year's NaNo. We'll see how this turns out! Otherwise, I'm also a musician and a Paralegal, working for a firm in downtown Orlando. I still attend college for that aspect of my career, so despite work and school, I should be able to find plenty of time to write. ... right? |

Synopsis:
Main characters:
Jade - Mother, baker, childcare worker. Is widowed and a single mother of one daughter. Possesses magical powers that she believes are simply honed gifts, but realizes they're signs of something else when she sees her daughter with the same tendencies.
Caitie - Jade's daughter, a few years old and known for her rambunctious and spunky attitude. Can't control her happiness, nor the magic that results from it.
Bryan - Enamored by Jade. Realizes that something strange is up with her when he follows and even helps her on a crazy race against time and faith.
Secondary characters to come, including:
Religious fanatical sect - Goes to the extent of taking Jade's daughter the night before Halloween, where a heart-wrenching search ensues to find her before the sect is able to do its worst.
Basic synopsis:
Jade has tried to live a normal life in Salem, MA. However, following the upheaval of her life with the death of her husband, she upended her life and moved with her daughter to Braintree, MA. Despite a complete denial of herself and her gift of magic, the kidnapping of her daughter by a fanatic religious sect hellbent on shaking the "devil from within" forces Jade to use the skills that she had hidden for so long, both for the sake of her daughter... and for her self.
