Set in post-apocalyptic America, a witch orphaned from her deceased family seeks refuge at a whorehouse in order to escape starvation.
                                                                      *****
Ivy Tate has her whole life ahead of her but nothing to live for. The earth has been spewing its guts for years and her clan didn't survive it. The only upside? She's a witch. But contrary to popular opinion, magic can't always save lives. With the threat of a slow, hungry death hanging over her head, she falls into strange company; a band of misfits who have found their own way to survive. Ivy is offered clean clothes, a real bed, and food that doesn't run away. But she quickly realizes the price for luxuries is high, like sell-your-soul high, and she must decide if survival is worth the trade.

BLOOMER [Book 1] is an off-the-beaten path tale about a young woman coming of age in a world that is falling apart. Mixing magical realism with speculative fiction and spicing it up with romance, BLOOMER will appeal to readers who like to root for unlikely heroes as they earn their stripes.

One of the most *frequently asked questions* I get from readers of my published novels: "Was Dear Martin the first book you ever wrote?" The answer is no. Dear Martin was the third. The second (at long last!) will be published in Spring 2022, but the first will never see the light of day... Or so I used to say. *Used to* because we are currently in the thick of a literal global pandemic. And we're bored. And trying to stay motivated/encouraged/hopeful, etc. etc. So here it is. Nic Stone's first EVER novel that wasn't supposed to see the light of day. Starting today, April 1st, 2020, I'll post a chapter a day for the next 50 days (you read that right; this joint is LONG) and will leave it up indefinitely. You will laugh--AT me, but also occasionally with me. You will roll your eyes. You will have moments when you wonder if *The Nic Stone* actually wrote this long and intensely tropey and cliche book. About a 16-year-old biracial girl who sometimes glows in the dark, and after the death of her mother, discovers not only some latent supernatural abilities, but a prophesied mission she'll need them for. It is not professionally edited and is likely full of typos (though this was like the twelfth draft). It hasn't been beta-read and probably has some problematic rep in it. But my hope is that by posting it as-is, someone out there who doesn't feel *good enough* will see THIS starting point of a #1 New York Times bestseller and will be encouraged to get the story nagging at them down on paper. Even if it's never "published," there's no telling where it could lead. I hope you enjoy (or at least get a good laugh). Thanks for reading! Nic Stone

"It was like electric shocks sparking all around my body. At first touch, it was a light brush of skin on mine. That little touch almost overwhelmed me. Almost. I deepened the feather soft kiss, craving his electric touch. Tingles shot through my arms and thighs and I felt a thrill I had never felt before, not even when we had kissed before. Because now there was a chance that we could actually be together. For real this time. He responded immediately, reaching down and picking me up in his arms. We stumbled back until my spine hit the wall and I gasped in pleasure when his lips left mine and started moving down on my neck to my collar bone. He sucked on the sweet spot at the point right behind my ear. I writhed in his arms, wanting and needing so much more. He used the wall to hold up my weight and grabbed my arms and pinned them above my arms, only enticing me even more. I could hardly breathe, his tongue swirling magical patterns in my mouth and on my skin. I wouldn't be able to stop if he tried to go any further. I don't think I even wanted to." *************************************************** Kristen has always felt drawn to the storms that brew in her life. But none have ever made her try to walk into a tornado, until now. Tethered to the living world by only her family and a strange man appearing as a shadow, she drifts away from reality and becomes engulfed in searching for the answers of her life. Torn between two worlds and two men vying for her attention, Kristen's decisions only become that much more important. But she finds out all too quickly that the answers she so desperately craves are more dark and haunting than she could ever have imagined, and it is only the beginning.
