@ashlyvye Hahahaha, yeah, I meant which part of Florida! XD Sarasota is a great area, we go there on day trips to museums and gardens! I’m in the Fort Myers area so less than two hours away. 🙂

Your work in progress sounds so cool! And I sympathize with the genre confusion…I never know what genre to call my books. *sigh*

I called my WIP by a code name because…if I tell the mass population (read: people who don’t write themselves and/or don’t understand the process) I end up getting WAAAAAAAY too much unsolicited advice. Also…the book I planned on publishing in October 2019 may very well not be written then, and a *different* book may take it’s place in the publication schedule. So I didn’t want to release too many details cause it could get super confusing.

The book I’m HOPING to publish (and what I originally code named Operation October) is a magical realism with the real title Secret of the Glades. It’s set in Florida and deals with what it would be like if the Water of Life was real and is being protected by WindWalkers (mythical Tequesta warriors). It combines my family lore, Florida lore, and Aztec lore. Plus a little Irish legend because–Suprise!–there are Irish Werewolves involved. (The Irish Werewolf legends pre-date and are much different than the modern horror/macabre lore that started coming to the fore during the 1920’s silent movie era. In Ireland, the werewolves were seen as benevolent spirits that would protect the forest and/or widows and children who became lost there. So, super cool dudes. XD)

You’re now in very deep on this secret project! But I do like talking about my projects…just with people who will understand. (I told three people outside of my normal writer friends about this book and all three told me I shouldn’t have werewolves because kids won’t read books with werewolves. Yeah. I didn’t even want to explain how not true that was…)

Okay, book ramble over! I haven’t read anything by Sanderson, but I’ve been hearing more and more about him so I’m putting him on my TBR. My favorite author? I’m going to have to go with C. S. Lewis. Always and forever, Narnia. 😉
