https://www.wattpad.com/1638974480-vanessa-and-danu-face-to-face While practicing magic (see the book cover to know what Vanessa was practicing), Vanessa comes face-to-face with the Mother of Magic. Ava has never seen anything like it. ------ This chapter got so long during the edit that I had to split it. Overall, the book is moving toward 90k words.

PS: I finally put a cover up for 'Vanessa and Danu'. Probably not the final version, as I'm still figuring out Canva, but it's close to what I had in mind. Need to go back to 'Maria' and fix that cover with this!
https://www.wattpad.com/1634399617-vanessa-and-danu-magical-micro-verse In the last scene of this chapter, the table at Vivian's where Vanessa is sitting gets a little crowded, and the locals join to learn about their new visitor from the non-magical Earth.
https://www.wattpad.com/1632465508-vanessa-and-danu-magical-world Tasha and Silena sit down with Vanessa and give her a bit of an introduction into the new, magical world she just entered. Long scene. Almost 6,000 words. Also, the book is up around 82k words now, so progress!
https://www.wattpad.com/1630965800-vanessa-and-danu-old-reality-meet-new-reality Took last weekend off to go to see my oldest daughter graduate. Back here this weekend with a new scene. Vanessa is mentally reeling from suddenly being on an entirely different world. She gets a little space to collect herself, and we get a little more insight into Vanessa. (Can't tell if I checked the announce button. Sorry if this is a double post...)

Welcome back to the world of 'Mother of Magic'. The working title of Vanessa and Danu might change, but whatever it finally is (and it might stay this) it will not be 'Mother of Magic Two' or any such thing like that. It's in that world, and it's Stephanie, Le, Vanessa, Ava, and all the rest. In case you are curious, does this tie in any way to the Evolved Vampire books? Not now. No. There is an opening that I left in case I ever wanted to do something like that (the same as how 'Unwanted Power' crossed in, but that was more planned, as I needed the rules of the 'Unwanted Power' book to make spaceflight work in the 'Vampires in Space' book, and that book was always the long term goal of the Evolved Vampires books. I hope you enjoy this second foray into Magic.
Hope you like it. I love having Vanessa arrive. She was the missing person who brings her sassy snarky pov.
Almost to 50k words. I never know how long a book will be when I start it. It seemed like it was going very slowly today, but in retrospect, another 7k weekend is not too bad. Back when I was unemployed, I was doing that much a day, but I like being able to eat, so I'll settle for this.
