National Novel Writing Month

[November 2008]

This is the second time I'm taking part in the "write a novel in a month" marathon and by the end of November 2008 I aim to have the first rough draft of the sequel to The Vespertine Hour.

All I can say for now is that Wings of Ozryel is the second book in a series of four called Angelcraft. The series is about two boys, Jon and Will, who are the vessels of a fallen angel, a spirit of long ago who almost turned into a demon, but not quite. In the first book they've fought against people who wanted to kill Jon and Will in order to "make Shamsiel whole again." Shamsiel is the fallen angel the baddies want to bring back into the world. But there's a greater spirit, a real demon called Kakabel, who lurks in the background too.

The story is set in our present day and is full of action, we'll see Jon and Will learning about their power to amend time: Jon can actually bend the future (if you can figure that one out, let me know), while Will can change things that have happened in the past. But both of them have not yet learned how to control their powers well.
In The Vespertine Hour, the boys also discover that they can communicate telepathically and that if they combine their power together, they can bring time to a halt. Intriguing enough?

We are going to see much more action in Wings of Ozryel, where the quest is to find a set of wings with the magical power to save Jon and Will's lives. We are going to meet Zaira who falls in love with Will, we'll see Jon foreseeing the worst and trying his best not to let that happen, and Will trying to save the day again. When he does that, the consequences are normally catastrophic. And in Wings of Ozryel, Will ends up real bad in an amazingly twisted ending to book two. Oops, I've said too much again.
