Anouska

"Her voice was melodious to his ears, enchanting and alluring. He found himself staring at her again, before finally blinking away, wondering what on earth had come over him. There was definitely something likeable, no, that wasn’t it, something mesmerising about this girl."

Hi again. A brief update - I've written some more, as you can see by the word count. It's going down! Still a long way to go, and I'm just setting up the opening to the book really.

The main character is Matt Drake, who is homeless, as I said in earlier posts. He's just met up with Anouska, another homeless person, only she's a quirky, persuasive young lady. At the start of the book she seems to be very attentive to Matt, knowing his haunts, where he goes, what he does, almost in an odd stalker like fashion.  Of course, there's more to Anouska than meets the eye, but that would be telling.

The next phase of the book will be a deepening relationship with Anouska, and what this means for Matt, as well as some mysteries and clues that point to the mysterious Black Tree that Matt's dreams are constantly filled with...

...and we haven't even got to the faeries yet...;-)
