NaNoWriMo 2013 Possible Project :: Excerpt #2

I first worked on this project as a fanfic idea for Addison Montgomery of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice fame, then chose to change it to an original novel project instead in 2008.  Both versions are set in the Puget Sound area, more specifically at the Point No Point Lighthouse in Hansville, WA.  The final version may or may not have the town/distinguishing features changed.  I haven't decided yet.

This story does have a supernatural bent, as it involves a female seal-shifter, or selkie, specifically shifting into a harbor seal.  I am still doing research into local indigenous stories and legends that involve skin-shifters, particularly of the pinnaped variety, but am willing to entertain changes in that vein if necessary.

There's no title on this piece yet, as I'm still waiting on that information from the story itself.

NaNoWriMo 2013 Possible Project :: Excerpt #1

Laikhostra is a project I've been working on since 2002 and the very first year I participated in NaNoWriMo.  There are actually several other excerpts from this universe here in my journal, so you may be familiar with the characters.
