Synopsis: Magic in the Streets, Greenwood Road, Medicine Show, Greenwood Gates
Nanowrimo One: Magic in the Streets -- Magic, an eight week old black kitten, goes walkabout to discover his power, seek his human familiar and become the guardian of New Orleans, protecting it from an ancient evil spirit in Jarkson Square.
Nanowrimo Two: Greenwood Road -- Six college guys and their leader's girlfriend Susan open a magical portal to the Green Road, an ancient elven path between worlds, accompanied by Susan's cat Mystery. One youth discovers he's half elven and makes the Choice to be fully elven. Welcomed at Tarrybrook Wayhall, they discover the nature of the gates and learn they must pass through six more before they can return to their own Earth -- if they win the Quest of Seven Gates though, they will always be able to find gates again and return to the Green. The Quest Begins!
Nanovel Three: Medicine Show -- Newly created English vampire Malcolm Evans seeks Kartchottee, a Tlingit shaman, to train him on the prophecy of his mother's ghost. 1860 San Francisco is much more magical than it seems!
Nanovel Four: Greenwood Gates -- Sequel to Greenwood Road, in which the Northern Wastrels continue the Quest of Seven Gates and a sarcastic cat proves to be spendthrift as well, especially where cheese is concerned.
Excerpt: Magic in the Streets, Greenwood Road, Medicine Show, Greenwood Gates
"My guru is an eight week old kitten," Leonora said. "But he's good at it."
"I could've been this seven foot tall superhero with telepathy and a bunch of other superpowers even the rest of the giant telepathic race didn't have and become a hero that saved thousands of worlds, but I chose to be a wood elf pretty much like the rest of the wood elves. I'm happy about that."
"All my life I was raised to think God was perfect and never made mistakes. Mother was a Spiritualist and I studied ceremonial magic and I've taken that for granted all this time. Now you tell me that my path is to follow the God of Mistakes." Malcolm laughed. "Or maybe the god of serendipity."
“Hello, Lady Susan. I’m Tobin Orick, cheesemaker. This is that same hard green cheese Madam Mystery liked so well last night. She bids me to tell you that you’re to trade for it and that my sausages are just as good, so is the yellow cheese. It’s a bit milder and softer. Keeps well too. She was most insistent, she said you must accept everything I’ve brought you after she tasted my samples.”
