I
was nominated by a great writer and terrific person, J.M.
Northup for this Work-In Progress Blog Train. I’m so
fortunate to have met her thru the Creativia Street
Team on Facebook, a great group of authors with Creativia Publishing.
She
is the author of A Prisoner Within, Fear of Darkness, A Ripple of Fear and Soul Searching.
Previously
on my blog, I gave 5 feathers to A Prisoner Within and 4 feathers for Fears of
Darkness.
Anyone
who’s read my social media pages knows I’m in the process of publishing my late
husband’s stories. Bob wrote for several
years, and all those handwritten, yellow, legal-sized papers have followed us
around for years. I have a box full of
them, more than I’ll be able to edit and publish in the rest of my
lifetime. So I have to pick and choose
the ones I like best.
My
current WIP, Arthur Merlin, has always been my favorite as the characters remind
me so much of Bob and me. I held off
doing this one first, as I didn’t have the confidence I needed to make Bob
proud. Now I do. Well, maybe.
After
an ice-filled, rain gutter falls three stories knocking Arthur senseless,
several days later in a fit of anger, he discovers his psychic abilities by
setting his cigarette on fire, with just his mind. “You name it, I can do it,” he’s been known to
boast. Several years later, disgruntled
with the US government trying to control him, and feeling an irresistible pulling
inside, Arthur travels to England, to the Institute of Physic Research.
There,
he meets the shy, beautiful, aristocratic Dr. Ruth Burns. Due to several tragic events that happened
when she was younger, Ruth wants nothing to do with men, let along an arrogant
American. But Arthur has other ideas, as
his male hormones spring into action. Suddenly, Ruth finds herself saddled with the
uncouth man, as her mentor and boss issues an order for her to take him into
her home. With jade eyes blazing, she
wonders What is a girl to do?
Eventually,
they find their way to Lake George, where years ago Ruth had had an encounter
with the Lady of the Lake and Excalibur. When Arthur is mentally probed by something
Alive!, Metal! Not Moving!, he knows he’s the only one that can solve the
mystery of the lake. But what they uncover is far more than anyone imagined. Now he’s faced with a question, what will he
sacrifice to save the world from Excalibur?
So,
who’s ready for a frolicking, paranormal, sci-fi, adult adventure with a cast
of zany characters?
My three nominations are:
Bridgitte Goosen

Gemma Farrow author
of Beneath the Willow
