The new National Novel Writing Month challenge starts on November 1st. The challenge is to write 50,000 words during the month of November. This can be a novel or the beginning of a novel. The working title of my new project is The Wrong Box.
We return to Limestone County, Texas, for the second Hal Blaine / Judee Sill adventure. This time, the culprit is a tornado! George Haver is a rancher, and after the storm, he finds a hand-carved mahogany coffin (not a casket) on his property. He investigates the addition to his property to find it is occupied. She is young and attractive. She is also very dead. In fact, the young woman has been embalmed and positioned for viewing.
Hal and Judee must determine the identity of the mysterious guest, the cause of her demise, and how to get her to where she belongs. Be careful! There are some unscrupulous characters involved, and who knows what will happen. Judee was poisoned in the last go-round. What will happen this time?
Come back to track my progress and see if I can reach my goal of 50,000 words in 22 days! (My goal is to complete my project before Thanksgiving so I can enjoy the holiday with my family!)
