<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background: white; color: #0f1111; line-height: 107%;">A late
night call from her mentor sends Selina Moonstone on a mission to Canada,
determined to track down a Wendigo and exterminate it.</span><span style="color: #0f1111; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Accustomed to facing off with the all too real
creatures of Native American lore, Selina discovers the Wendigo is someone
close to her, forcing her to change gears from destruction to frantic search
for a cure. There's no known way to rid a person of the Wendigo spirit once it
has begun the consumption of the victim's soul, a lesson she learned the hard
way in her youth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">With her loved one's transition to Wendigo
imminent, Selina must fight her own lifelong training as a Myth Stalker and
find another way. She gathers a mismatched group of allies, including a
charming Sin Eater and a conceited mercenary Cryptid hunter from her past, and
embarks on a mission to find a solution before it's too late.</span></span></span></p>

frightening, Shannon Lawrence writes primarily horror and fantasy. Her stories

best when bought from a food stand. Bonus points if it’s the middle of the
night.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Selina and a
friend grab nachos from a local food stand here in Colorado Springs after a</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>strenuous
assignment. While I don’t name it in the book, it’s inspired by a real stand
near my</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>house that has
THE BEST Mexican food we’ve found in our city. And it’s open 24 hours! Great
for</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>an insomniac (or
not great, depending upon how you look at it).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>2. Just like
humans, fish need a certain amount of protein in their diet, which they usually
get from</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>a wide array of
sources, depending upon their size, from worms and insects all the way up to</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>mammals.
Fresh-caught fish is good for you and tasty, too! Selina’s mentor likes to
catch his</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>own fish at a
lake near his house. He even catches one each time for a friendly local
mountain</span></span></p>

fellow in the book. They’re portable and convenient! But I’m pretty sure some

"played" with AI to write those nasty synopses, or do you refuse to
go that route? How do you feel about AI's impact on creative writing?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white; font-weight: normal;">Good question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve used AI for guest posts but I haven’t
tried a synopsis. In fact, I’m not sure how to even approach that. It seems
like by the time you’d given it the information, you would have written it yourself.
I’m anxious to hear from folks that have used it for a synopsis and how it
worked out. I feel like AI is here to stay so we might as well take advantage
of it. On the other hand I hope it doesn’t put us out of business.</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><b><span style="background: white; font-weight: normal;">For those pitching: #IWSGPit March 27th. </span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><b><span style="background: white; font-weight: normal;">AND: </span></b></span><strong style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #8d2424;">Saturday, April 13, 2024:<br />Beyond the Pen all-day workshop at Brier Creek Community Center, Morrisville NC</span></strong><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><u style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><a href="https://www.trianglesinc.com/beyond_the_pen.html" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 220) !important; text-decoration: none; transition: color 200ms ease-in 0s;" target="_blank">Register here!</a></u></p>
