Opening the portal...

"In triumph, the faerie ensnared by the branch spread her wings and took to the sky, the beating of her wings drumming into Matt’s ears, echoing the pulse in his veins and the speed of his beating heart.

Remaining Word Count: 25,282 words left

Hi and welcome to my first blog post for February! Time really is flying and I've still got over 25,000 words left to write before the end of March 2013. Can I do it?  Well, hopefully. I managed to write 13,000 words in January, so if I repeat this feat in February and March that's another 26,000 words - which covers it!

The story is progressing well, and taking some very unexpected turns while I write it. I'm excited to read the final result, as it's a book written without too much structure and a LOT of freedom. I can only hope the result will be worthy enough and that people will enjoy it.

Matt and Anouska are now at a deadly part of their adventure, where one false move could open the portal to the other side. They are being helped by Sofia, a new character who is part of the brethren of forgotten witches, but using her skills to assist Matt and Anouska and stop them from succumbing to the power coursing through their own veins...

...there's still time to donate for the charity Safe Space, whom I'm writing this book for. Please use the 'Just Giving' link opposite.  Many thanks and see you next time!
