Real Magic

"Where is the magic when you really need it?" Maxzyne asks herself as she is taken away by the Chicago police to account for her actions at the parade. As I wrote this part of the story, I was right there with her, feeling both her dread and hope for escape. For me, that's the fun part of being a writer - identifying with the character and all the thoughts and emotions happening in each moment. It's my character's life. I'm creating it and I'm living it with her. That makes it real. Real magic.

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

Officer Logan ignores the chattering crowd as he calmly leads the way, riding high on Ace’s muscular back. The crowd thins noticeably as the small group heads away from the center of action at the mayor’s podium.

Maxzyne glances at the man to her left. The black-and-white checkered band around his hat brim reminds her of the mysterious hat in her bag. Where is the magic when you really need it? If only it would whisk me away from here right now.
