My Camp NaNoWrimo Novel April 2018: The Mystery of The Body Thief

Hi everyone,
I hope you are having an awesome April... I have some exciting news! I finished my Camp NaNoWrimo word count goal! :)  (However, I am still working on my novel.)

Synopsis 

Horatio wakes up from being in a coma, but he doesn't remember anything that happened before he fell into unconsciousness. All that he remembers is a name, "Annabelle!" 

Also... Detective Inspector Time finds himself having to solve a case without Lady Annabelle.
Murders have been happening throughout many different kingdoms, and no one knows who exactly is behind it all. 

Characters

In this novel there are quite a few characters. I won't list all of them, I'll just mention the main characters.

Horatio- A servant boy who woke up from a coma, he doesn't remember anything except a name "Annabelle."

Lady Annabelle- She and Horatio fell into a coma at the same time, except unlike him she hasn't woken up.

Detective Inspector Time- An elvish detective, who is trying to figure out who could be behind the recent murders of royalty.

Phillip- The Captain of the Guards, who is a dwarf.

Veronica- Annabelle's Lady in Waiting, who is a fairy.

Marigold- Time's adopted daughter, who is working with her father on the case.

Ophelia- The castle nurse, though she is a nurse she dislikes blood, and well anything medical.
Some people in the castle wonder why she became a nurse in the first place.

Austen- The new coroner, who is also helping Time solve the case.


Excerpt

He opened his eyes, his head felt incredibly dizzy and memories flashed in front of him for no  particular reason, and voices calling a name: 

“Annabelle, Annabelle!” 

the name felt like it had a meaning for some reason but he could not place it. Suddenly he felt a hand on his wrist. 
“Sir” said a stern voice, that sounded as deep as a bass. “You suffered from severe trauma to the head and were in a coma for 24 hours.” 

Story music 

This is kind of a sneak peek at the story soundtrack I am working on for the story soundtracks page...

                                               Sleeping Beauty by Traci Hines 

You can also listen to it on YouTube Here

This is the theme song of my book.

All I want by Eurielle 

                                                      You can listen to it on YouTube Here 
                                    This song reminds me of a scene from my book.

                           Discombobulate by Hans Zimmer 

                                          You can also listen it on youtube Here 
                                                 This is a song that I often listen to when I write mysteries.

                     How was your Camp NaNoWrimo?

April Drawings

Hi everyone, 

I hope you are having a wonderful day. 

 Today I thought I should do a drawing post: 

A drawing of Pocahontas, I like how it turned out. 

This is kind of an experiment.  I decided to try 

to combine a photograph I had taken with one of my drawings. 

I think it turned out well, however, I wish I had gotten rid of some of the white spots.

This is a drawing of Deborah Sampson, a woman from the colonial era, 

who disguised herself as a man and fought in the American Revolutionary War.

I like how it turned out. 

This is a drawing of Phillis Wheatley. I like how she turned out,

especially her clothes.

Which drawing is your favorite? Also do you have a favorite historical figure? 

Love, 

Quinley 

If My Characters Lived in Modern Times

Hi everyone, Camp Nanowrimo has started!:) I am so excited!:)
Also Happy (belated) Easter and April Fool's Day (I didn't have a post planned for either, since I was working on my blog anniversary posts).
 Anyway, on with the post, here is what my characters might do if they lived in modern times:

Lady Annabelle 

from the Lady Annabelle Mystery Series 

Annabelle would probably be a police (or private) 

detective, if she lived in modern times (and if she wasn't a princess).  

She would love reading mystery novels like, Sherlock Holmes, Murder Most Unladylike, 

The Secret of The Sealed Room. 

Mr. Robertson 

from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: The New School Master (my fan fiction of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow) 

He would probably be a teacher of literature and history,

and would be especially fascinated with the American Revolutionary War 

(and would be trying to figure out how the British lost). 

He would live in New York (near Sleepy Hollow.)

Tesariel (Tess) Short 

from Tess Short book one 

                                           Tess would probably be a writer
                               (and compete in NaNoWrimo and Camp NaNoWrimo),
                          would be a member of a book club, and would be a huge LOTR
                                (The Lord of the Rings) and Hobbit fan.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would characters do if they lived in modern times? Which of my characters is your favorite? 

love,
Quinley

P.S. I may not be able to post as much as I normally do, since I will be doing Camp NaNoWrimo.
