It doesn't matter that I plotted the book. As soon as I start writing it, I don't follow that plot at all. Vibes only.

I was donating blood today when the tech asked me what I do, which spiraled into me talking about indie publishing 8 books in 8 months. They asked, โ€œAre you okay?โ€ and because I was at a medical facility, I lied.

I just finished with the beta feedback in the final novella of my Wives of the Vampire Queen series. The beta feedback was so good, but I now have to rewrite the middle of the story.

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
The Pitch

When Gwen was a girl called Wendy Darling, she met someone who promised her freedom and love, and all it cost her was her humanity and everyone she ever loved. A century later, sheโ€™s trying to claw some of it back thanks to a 15yo named Mona, whoโ€™s awakened a long lost sense of family. 

When Capt Hook was a girl called Rosie, she met someone who promised her adventure, and all it cost her was her family and sense of security. After twenty years of fighting monster children, this pirate captain is running out of steam, until her long-time nemesis gives her an ultimatum she canโ€™t refuse.

Forced to work together, the cranky immortal and smug pirate will be forced to put aside their animosity and work together to save a family neither knew they needed. Along the way, they might find the love of a lifetimeโ€ฆif they donโ€™t kill each other first.

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
Excerpt

โ€˜All children, except one, grow up.โ€™ That is how the classic line goes. 
When I was nineteen-years-old, however, I learned the tragic lesson that that wasnโ€™t always the case.
Disease ruthlessly ravages innocent lives, while famine mercilessly snatches away their dreams. Violence lurks within the depths of strangers' hearts or, more tragically, a family memberโ€™s. And let us not forget the sheer cruelty of random happenstance, which has regularly inflicted its unspeakable horrors upon them. Throughout the annals of time, no demographic has endured more anguish and torment than those innocents who never had the chance to experience the complexities of growing up. 
And amidst this unfathomable sorrow, for longer than our history can even dare to measure, there has existed the enigma of Pan, the taker of childrenโ€ฆmy tormentorโ€ฆ
