Tuesday Travel 103: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

Welcome to Tuesday Travel. Every Tuesday, I will be presenting an excerpt of Witch Raising: The Book of Fire, the book in which Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul, is undertaking an initiatory journey.


About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

Witch Raising is a new series with Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul as the main character. This series is part of the House at the Crossing Series and follows Demon Soul and Demon and Fairy but instead of being centered on the adventure of Sahel and his demon friends, it follows Brownie as she goes from being a normal girl to a bad ass witch. She has been practicing magick for a while now, saving people from difficult situations but the people at the house, including Sahel aren't happy with her new calling. Feeling that she doesn't have a choice and has to keep learning witchcraft, Brownie leaves to meet other witches.

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

"I say we just pick one and queue somewhere, that's better than walking," Brownie said but the others didn't seem to hear. She was getting tired of this and just stopped in front of an Italian restaurant with at least ten people waiting outside.
"Here guys, they'll definitely have your tomatoes," she said pulling on Josh by the rope on his bag.
"That's way too long a wait, seriously," Josh said.
"We have been walking for at least half an hour," Brownie said, "How long before we find a free restaurant? I'm tired of walking that's all we have been doing all day and it's already two pm, the parade is going to start and we will have eaten nothing."
Samantha looked ahead.
"Maybe just a little further," she said.
"Then you go, I'm staying here," Brownie said. 

She didn't really want to be alone now, she was just getting cranky because she was hot and thirsty, hungry and especially tired.
When she had left home, it was all she could think about, she wanted to be left alone to deal with her problem but so far the festival had been fun. The one thing she hadn't left behind were her nightmares about the demons, they were still the same, still coming for her as if she was a master piece in their scheme. They would probably always be coming for her until it was all over or she was dead or they already got her but she still wanted the nightmare to stop. She knew everything was wrong. She didn't need a constant reminder and she didn't need the fear. She knew trying to stop the nightmares was going to help the demon get her and that there was still hell to pay for the spell she had miscast. There was no way around that either just maybe a way to protect her or to help her control what sort of punishment she would have to face for the spells in question. So yeah, she hadn't slept much last night. She thought that three day of sleep would have helped with the tiredness but it ran a lot deeper than that. 
 
"Ok, we'll go on ahead quickly while you queue here and if I find something, we'll let you know," Samantha said.
"I'm not going anywhere," Josh said. "She is right, enough is enough."

Mystery Monday 104: Murder at the Conference 1

Welcome to Mystery Monday. This week, instead of continuing with Harajuku Kiss, I decided to change mystery novel. I have a WIP called Murder at the Conference, following the same characters as in Harajuku Kiss. It's not finished and nowhere near finishing, it only reached the 50k limit of a NaNoWrimo win and I haven't touched it for years. It's a sequel to Harajuku Kiss in a way that it is set after that story but it's also self standing. I'm not really sure what to do with it because at the end of the 50k words, the murder has just occurred which means this whole part is a lot of my main character rambling like you know she can. Still it was fun to write so why not put it here and see if I can get motivated to figure out who the murderer is and how he did it at some point in time. 

 

Strangely, I wrote it chapter by chapter so far (normally I cut my chapters once I have at least a first draft) so we can start at the beginning on chapter 1.

Chapter 1


I was trying to look at my screen, fixing the last details of my poster, making sure that all the boxes was aligned. That's one of the problem when you make a poster with latex. Even with a template, you had to play around with the boxes to make sure that they all actually fit just right because the text never really fit the template. There was also the problem of the border, the text fit just inside the boxes with no real gap all around so she had to put an extra box all around to make sure it looked pretty. That might sound a bit fastidious for some, but I liked it, it gives the poster something more, something Power Point didn't give. Of course power point was clear and precise but somehow it looked a bit artificial. I wanted something more, something homemade, something that I had to work for, checking every single little details because it also helped to stop typos and to make sure you had the right captions and scale for your graphs to be understood. Plus it looks like me, it was who I was, presented on the poster on the top of a presentation of her research. I wanted it to be different and to cry, look at me. That's why the background was purple. Because it didn't take that much ink seeing that I had big box of text and graphs on top of it and because nobody ever made a purple poster, it was just me. I had noticed it the first time when my PhD supervisor mentioned it was funny, fine but different, then there was no other poster like that at the conference. It was catchy. The people would come to my poster, I would talk the poster session through and dry. Normally, there had always been another PhD student or a friend to bring me some drinks, but I was a postdoc now. I wasn't sure who would be there and I wonder if Christa knew about the drying part of the poster session. Maybe we should make a plan. That was if Christa ever stopped walking back and forth in front of her computer.

 


About Harajuku Kiss

At times, life can be so depressing. She is walking her usual recovery tour in Harajuku, finishing with a crepe, tying to forget that her boyfriend dumped her once again for the week-end... When the unthinkable happens... A boy stops in front of her in the street and kisses her, in to discover more about him, she is dragged into a dangerous game of mystery. A biologist has been murdered and a deadly virus is on the loose. First suspect: the mysterious Harajuku's stranger.

WeWriWar 355: The House at The Crossing 63

 
Hello everybody and welcome for a new Sunday of writing with Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday!

How are you doing? 

Let's continue with  "The House at the Crossing" and it's a prequel to Demon Soul and the demon series. It's a bit of a mix of Fantasy and Science-fiction.

It follows one of the books more obscure character as she first comes into the House. It's supposed to explain why there are so many people is the house and sort of where they come from and at the same time be a first time adventure for the main character as she needs to adapt to her new role and the new version of who she is. 

Let's start right at where we left off last time, let's learn about the multiverse.  



 

“Normal people are always integrated. Like I said before, my family only saw what they wanted and they were only one. In this house, all their self were here doing the same.” 

“That makes absolutely no sense,” my other self blurt a little too loud and Ryan starts to cry again. 

I'm about to give him a bottle but Wendy picks him up from his chair and he instantaneously stops. I swallow looking at her. She definitely doesn't look humans but she is one hell of a baby sitter. I gave her the bottle. She walks away to sit at the other end of the table and takes care of Ryan while I busy myself with Hiroshi.

Off script

Three months ago I found a turtle on the street. He wasn't looking too good so I decided to take him home. I had some technical difficulty with my blog so I couldn't add new pictures to show him to you earlier, but now it's fixed so let me introduce Mozart.

Doll Surgery: Mahiro is in trouble

Some times ago, I went to the Azone Store because I needed a skeleton piece for Mahiro. Mahiro is an Azone 50cm and the arm socket on her skeleton broke, I tried to glue it back together but of course it didn’t work so I had no choice but to get a new piece. Luckily, a friend told me how to go about changing the piece and also sent me a video. Then the clerks at azone store were very helpful telling me I picked the correct skeleton piece.

It took me a while to get it done because I’ve never done it before and I was a bit anxious but finally today was the day when the motivation kicked in. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

 I also took pictures at the Azone store that day so you’ll see that too at the end of the video.
