Guys. GUYS. I have a website now!
I'm super excited (and yes, I sound like a 13 year old here!) to get this thing up and on its feet.
I've become mildly obsessed over the past few days with the gorgeous (in my humble opinion) book cover I created for The Seed of Magic: Magic Discovered. Heck, I'm excited to have come up with the working title for my book! It's been The Seed of Magic for years, but now that it's planned to be a trilogy, it needed a tagline.
I toyed with Children of Ayarth, but it's not quite as catchy. Plus, with Magic Discovered, I came up with the titles for the next two books as well. No spoilers for now!
I also had this other idea... a seed of magic planted in my own brain, if you will.
My main character, Winston Broome, has kind of lost the magic in her life. After a family tragedy, she retreats into her own fantastical world and is shunned by her peers. She feels like an outcast, even at home.
She forgets, my dear friends, that the real world has its own sense of magic.
Many of us forget that. We lose sight of how magical simple things like the feel of the sun on our face on a cold day, or how comforting the feeling of sand between our toes can be. (Or, you know, fill in the little thing that you love if sunburn and grains of sand everywhere aren't your jam.)
But I'd love to start something here. A bit of a movement if you will. I call it #DiscoverMagic. Flood the socials with it, kids.
I challenge you to #DiscoverMagic in your own life. Find some small thing that seems mundane - an action, an interaction, something in nature, whatever - and elevate it in your mind to be something magical. Take a picture of it. Show it to us. Tell us about it.
As Winston Broome discovers magic in another realm, let's discover it along with her in this one.
Go out and #DiscoverMagic!
