Yesterday at the CCWC in Los Angeles, I met some of the most incredible people who were willing to take the time to just talk and encourage each other.
There were seasoned writers as well as just starting out writers all attending for a common goal, to learn from each other.
Charlene Harris delivered an all-inspiring message on writing and finishing the race (you’ll never finish unless you start, so just do it), she was a hoot.
The panel rooms were awesome.
And, the food was fantastic too.
It’s the early 1900s and twenty-four-year-old heiress Charlotte Demerayes lives in the Fanaman mansion with a few ghosts and the mother from hell. This gothic mystery takes a turn when our protagonist sails to Europe and discovers the truth about herself, her heritage, and information her mother has hidden from her all her life. Fanaman Curse is the début novel for A. H. Scott. 
The death of my little brother when
we were children still haunts me. I cannot see who is coming
towards me. Hands white as snow dripping icicles punctures the ground. They fall
leaving blankets of bloody footprints going nowhere leading everywhere. The
sounds of screaming geese off in the distance awaken me to a cold sweat, never remembering
what truly happened. I fall back to sleep after many hours to be awaken once
again as if drowning in the sea below. Something keeps holding me down, I
cannot climb up Heavens Stairway. I scream to the woman in white who is running
down the rocks. She does not see me. She plunges headfirst into the black
abyss. Never screaming—just quiet. Mother says my brother death was an
accident, but no one will tell me…
