Blue. Moon. Magic.
I'm in the midst of book publishing mania. Advance reader copies are distributed, reviews are beginning to come in, and buzz is rising. Daily, friends send me photos of peacocks or Blue sightings from around the globe. I feel a bit like Izabel in this passage. The sound of drums is rising. She knows something new is on the horizon, but can't quite name what it is. It's heady stuff! And then... for her... for me... the moon rises out of the ocean from beneath the deep blue sea. This coming Saturday, July 31, 2015 is a Full Blue Moon. It feels like magic. Something giant on the horizon, rising out of the ashes where I've lain in a writer's heap dreaming of something like this to happen. It's big. It's beautiful. It's la bella luna and she is BLUE!
Book Excerpt
Blue: A Novel
Izabel’s body wavered like a balloon losing air, and she missed a beat on the conga. She felt as if her world was being consumed with a purifying fire, and if she was to survive, she had to become a flaming phoenix rising out of the ashes. With a deep breath, she steadied herself and prepared to sprout wings.
Instead of a bird, however, it was the moon that had risen. It was as if the women had drummed La bella luna into the night sky. She was magnificent. Miriam nodded toward Veronica, who, like an elfin sprite, carried her tambourine and wove in and out among the buried candles, lighting each one as she passed. The sand turned to sky, and diamonds twinkled above and below.
