Hi everyone, last April I made a post about this project so I thought that I should make another post about it considering I am still writing it and I entered it into a writing contest called the Wattys. (Also, this is my 100th post.)
Anyway, here is the post:
Synopsis-
Ever since Horatio woke up from being in a coma, things around the castle have been going from normal to strange.
He is also trying to solve a murder that now is beginning to seem more complex than he thought.
Since I made a whole list of the characters before in my last post about this project, I am only going to do some of the main characters and not the minor ones.
Horatio
A servant who works in the castle, who lost his memory.
Vonivera (previously known as Veronica.)
Lady Annabelle's lady in waiting, and friend to Horatio and Phillip.
Unlike the other ladies in the castle, Vonivera is a fairy, and she finds it hard to fit in.
Phillip
The captain of the guards and the only dwarf in the castle. Also
a friend of Annabelle's who is helping Horatio and Vonivera solve a recent murder.Detective Inspector Time & Marigold

Two detectives who are trying to solve the recent murders of royalty.
Lady Annabelle
A princess who is in a coma, who fell unconscious at the same time as Horatio.
Excerpts-
Vonivera had very annoyed looking expression her face, that she normally had when she was talking about the gossipers and how they talked about Horatio, and the things he had done wrong.
“I am worrying about it, because I care about you, unlike everyone else in the castle.” she said.
-from Chapter 10, Vonivera to Horatio.
“Are you alright?” Vonivera asked.
“Yes…I’m fine..” Horatio said, as he picked up the burnt fire wood, and swept the chimney, which was sooty but not quite as sooty as it had been when he first cleaned it.
“Are you sure?” asked Vonivera, who like usual was hanging around where Horatio was working. She rather liked to talk to him…
“Yes I’m sure…” sighed Horatio, who rather was concentrated on cleaning the chimney…
“You don’t look sure…” said Vonivera.
Horatio sighed, “That’s because I’m cleaning the chimney!”
- from unidentified Chapter. (Though I am pretty sure it is after the events of chapter seven though, but I am unsure...since the labeling of the chapters got confused.)
You can also read the seven chapters that are up here (though I do plan to self-publish it eventually.)
the official story soundtrack-
Last time I posted songs that reminded me of the story. But now here is the official story soundtrack:
You can also listen to it here
Some of the songs in this are songs you have heard before in the previous post.
A sneak peek at future songs that will be added into the story soundtrack (playlist):
As The World Falls Down by David Bowie.
You can listen to it here
This song goes really well with a (romantic) ballroom scene in my book. ;)
Kiss and Break Up by Meghan Kabir
You can also listen to it here
This song went perfectly with a scene from my story.
(I am not going to say what scene though ;) )
Money, Money, Money by ABBA
You can also listen to it here
I am not sure whether this song will be added to the story soundtrack or a playlist describing one of my characters, but either way it still reminds me of what the servants may think of royalty and money.

Have you ever entered your book into the Wattys? Also, how was your Camp NaNoWrimo?
