It’s been awhile since I updated the blog on my book progress. So here’s a little catching up.
I began my current manuscript in August of 2016, after about nine months of starting projects that ultimately didn’t turn into novels. Over the months, the story has grown a lot through revisions, critiques, and sometimes going back to the drawing board.
A quick synopsis – Tapestry is a contemporary retelling of the Fates from Greek mythology. It’s set at a New England boarding school and follows three girls who have been brought to the school under false pretenses. Each of them can weave a different aspect of fate – vitality, fortune, and passions. The main character, Willow, can heal, and through a stranger she saves, discovers dangerous people know about her ability and plan to seize control of it. When one of the other Fates disappears, Willow works to bring down the shadowy organization that’s taken her. If she fails, all three girls will vanish, forced to weave fate for the people hunting them.
And some visual inspiration for Tapestry:
Tapestry is currently with a handful of beta readers. I’ve heard back from a few already and gotten a good response and some helpful suggestions as well. After the rest of the revisions are made, I plan to start querying agents. Squeeee!
