Drum roll please…
I am pleased to introduce to you today to the other plots in the works. It goes unsaid that all three plots are currently incomplete as they lay somewhere in my inbox. As the first sneak peak look at them, I’d like to jot down a little of the history and inspiration for each (Wolf Amongst Wolves, Daniel and The Djinns, and The Killer’s Niece).
So here goes…
Wolf Amongst Wolves Under the Writing page, I noted this plot deals with a rich girl that more or less has it all, or does she really? Mina (short for Wilhelmina) has a model for a best friend, goes on to date said friend’s ex, and runs into other deep, more personal issues such as coming to terms with being a victim of rape. But that’s already giving away too much of the plot, more details on the way.
Daniel and The Djinns Lo’ and behold, djinns really are real…in the Parallel Universe, of course. Djinns by definition are mythological creatures and for Daniel they become a living reality when he finds himself fighting in a war waged between the Djinns and Ifrits. Little does he know what his true involvement in the war are or who he is. Not many details have been hatched out on this plot, so I will leave the rest to your imaginations as I work on character development.
The Killer’s Niece This plot was conceived about the same time with Wolf Amongst Wolves and Yamamoto’s Horseplay. Our main character Zia (see the Writing page) moves to Northern California in hopes of moving away from the air and noise pollution, and having neighbors after a ‘slump’ to find her at the dead center of a criminal investigation. Luckily, or unluckily, the investigation is about a string of murders in this small town committed by none else than her uncle (hence the title). The sticky part comes when she’s really the only lead on the investigation and as Detective Thompson finds himself in love with Zia.
Readers, as you can tell this writer has not been sitting idle even during engineering school.
