Hello!
I'm Veronica. I'm writing a series of middle grade fantasy novels. With some luck and a cartilage they may one day see print.
Expect to see foxes, scary monsters, brave heroes, international folklore, classic children's literature and illustrations, and other curiosities about storytelling for small humans.
Places I Hang Out:
The Fox Books
- Book 1 - Hiro. Working on third draft.
- Book 2 - Oksana and The Black Ox of Odessa. I am a coward with a plot I can't possibly do justice.
- Book 3 - The Golden Fox. Has a theme. Set in India.
- Book 4 - Aziz of the Great Tower. Did you know there are foxes in Morocco?
Other Works in Progress
- Fatimah - A short story that seems to be turning itself into a book.
- The Red Forest - Wolves duking it out Oedipus-style in a radioactive wasteland. I have no business writing for children.
- Untitled Pretentious Grown Up Book - My NaNo 2011 project.
Other Writing
- Anthology Contributor. "Two Things I'm Really Good At," in The Bigger the Better, the Tighter the Sweater, Seal Press, 2007
- NaNoWrimo Novel. Category Romance. 51k words.
