This week has been a little crazy, so that's why there has not been a description. I've been furiously working on finishing my outline for National Novel Writing Month (and it's finished!).
NaNoWriMo starts on November 1--next Thursday. During November, I will most likely be posting descriptions from my novel on my blog. Maybe I'll even post some entire scenes that I do.
Here is a (working) synopsis of my book. If any of you have title suggestions, please feel free to comment and let me know! I'm sure it will be better than what the current name is: CWHF (Civil War Historical Fiction).
Ever since their ancestor, Elijah
Walker, fought in the Civil War, a taunt has followed the Walker males.
“Walkers always walk away with other’s things and life.” In 2011, this taunt
haunts 17 year old Eli Walker in the halls of his school. A feud has gone on
between the Bishops and the Walker family since the war and Eli can’t figure
out why. That is, until a reenactment when he gets mysteriously transported
back to the war as his great-great-great-great grandfather. Eli experiences the
war the exact way his ancestor did, receiving all the same wounds and meeting
the same people. Then he wakes up in a hospital bed. Confused, he asks his
wheel-chair bound father to explain what just happened. That’s when he figures
out he has a gift—the gift of mental travel. Eli starts to research more about
his grandfather and finds the reason the Bishop family hates the Walkers and
there’s only one way to stop it—he has to go back and change his ancestor’s
actions. As he goes between worlds, his energy quickly starts to wane. With his
present family in danger, he has no time to spare. When he travels to the war
or back to the present, an unknown amount of time passes. Will he be able to
save his family from the murderous Bishops?
4:13:25:59 (Days, hours, minutes, seconds) until NaNoWriMo starts!
