ADULT FICTION
Full-Length Novel in a Series
Title: The Making of Mirabelle
Series: Book Two of the Cardinal County Series
Appropriate for Ages: 14+
Status: Work in Progress (approximately at 30% first draft)
Inspiration for the Story:
One of the secondary characters from my novel Augusta Louise made themselves heard, demanding to have her own story written down. A force to be reckoned with, the following four verses will give you an idea of the influence that a fictional character can wield upon a writer:
Fiery flames spread
as a stampede outruns thunder
Mirabelle arrives
Glowing tresses frame
ivory skin and cocoa eyes
Tendrils of smoke fade
Sparrows quell their joy
Wind surrenders its freedom
Rivers change their course
Blistered rose petals
cling to her ash-covered hands
as she looks skyward
