The fourth and last installment of Chapter 6: Darkened Hearts has been posted on Dreamwidth, Livejournal, and the weebly site.
Read Chapter 6 part 4 School is nearly done for me, finally. This means that in a few weeks I will be able to return to working on the manuscript for the second book. I had hoped to at least have had the first section of the second book done by now. Life had other plans. I look forward to returning to Kirsty's world.
Goodness knows that I need it. This poem will be used in the story at a later date, before Kirsty enters the Temple city. "Song of the Selkie Priestess" When the water is roiling I hear your call coiling Up from the shifting deeps Singing me home Fill me with the depths of the sea Washing away what sorrows me Fair Lady Mara of the Spear Lend me your strength That I can come near Fill me with the depths of the sea Washing away what sorrows me Gentle Lady of the Sacred Well Below and above the Refuge Hill Hear the song of the selkie... Fill me with the depths of the sea Washing away what sorrows me Illya Leonov has recently started recording the prequel story to the Selkies' Skins of books, Book of Seals. This lead to discussion between he and I of _ghost's work and prompted me to check and see if that talented artist had released anything new since my last check.
I stumbled on Bluemillenium as a result, and specifically "Circling" which reminds me a great deal of Kirsty Makay and how her world revolves around one very important thing... http://ccmixter.org/files/Bluemillenium/48668 I added it to the list of music that either goes well with the series or that I listen to while writing. I actually need to put the links to the Youtube playlists too. Q: Teresa, when are you gong to update this? You're getting rather behind.
A: The last classes of school are hitting me harder than expected. I want to write so very badly but I'm not able to sit down and work on this project as much as I want. So I will update as soon as I can, but I don't know when that will be. Hopefully it will be no longer than a few weeks. I'm currently in week three of an eight week course. On the plus side, this degree is nearly done. Then I'll have more work hours free to actually WORK. Q: Any other news? A: Illya Leonov is working on recording the prequel to Selkies' Skins, which is Book of Seals: Pearls of Sea and Stone. He recently showed me the score he composed for a song within the story, as well as how the words for the song soung sung to it. He made me cry with the beauty. Even though I just posted the installment for this coming Sunday, I am going to post the installment meant for the 30th as well. There are several "just in case" reasons this is going up, including school
This catches you reading along up to where I am currently working in the manuscript, so depending on how my next class goes my may have to post slower. Chapter 6 part 3 (follow the link) The second part of the 6th chapter, Darkened Hearts, is available. We meet Raechel, one of the minor priestesses of Mara, and one of the darkened hearts.
The next post released will bring back Kirsty, and then we will find out what happens with her tests and what mess the deities are weaving now. The first part of the sixth chapter is now posted. This catches me up to my posting schedule if I calculate correctly. Justin returns to the storyline.
Justin is a challenge. So is the Darkened Priestess we'll meet later in the chapter, who I believe Illya is looking forward to meeting. There has been some delay due to circumstances, but Chapter 5: Black Swallower is up. I'm looking forward to getting Chapter 6: Darkened Hearts ready for the webserial and taking Kirsty through her trials, and her meeting with her foil/rival in the sea.
Chapter 3 (Gateway) part two is now up to read, as well as Chapter 4 (Where Moon Meets Sea).
Does Kirsty go through the gateway? |
