Welcome to the insanity that is my life. :-) November is the official National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. It is a time when writers everywhere pledge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Yes, this is crazy, but it's also fun and challenging. I started doing NaNoWriMo several years ago. I even published a book, "Crazy", from my work one year. This year I'm writing an urban fantasy focused on the protagonist, Eva, trying to solve the murder of her boss, Roberto. The plot involves vampires, Special Agent werewolves, undercover werewolves, money laundering, betrayal, nosy editors, old lovers, and a chicken-wielding housewife. Suffice it to say, my creative head space is full, and I don't really have the capacity to work on "Grecian Gambit" until December. Instead, how about an excerpt from the beginning of my new novel? Assuming no one complains about this, I will publish small bits of what I'm writing this month. I hope
