sisterhood of the elements
book 1
of
the Gathering
by martha 'gipsiecrone' bowman
This novel is unfinished and has already been restarted twice; the first draft was titled 'Gathering of The Guardians' and was abandoned because it seemed to be going nowhere and kept stalling out. I put it up and didn't look at it for about 3 months but bits and pieces of it kept creeping into my thoughts and from the end of my fingers - like something or someone was trying to send a message to me.
I opened the file back up sometime this past summer and started over; I changed the name to 'House of Fire'; Book 1 of 'Gathering Of The Guardians' and salvaged what I could, then I basically started over. Things proceeded well for a while until it felt like the book started writing itself. I'd be going in one direction and suddenly I was off in another direction on a totally different tangent so I am stalled again but this time it's because I seem to have too many ideas floating around in my head all at once.
Now after yet another change and more down time I offer you what I have written of ' Sisterhood of The Elements' Book 1 of 'The Gathering'
I really have no dream of becoming another J.K. Rawlings nor any ambition to have another book published in hard copy but I would like to at least hold the interest of those who choose to read my offerings on the web or as a free eBook. Anyway here is what I have so far. You can leave me a comment on Tell Me What You Think when I get it up and running or email me at gipsiewonderer@mail.com and let me know what you think - I'd appreciate it.

Sisterhood of the elements
Introduction
I look down and see Andy sitting beside the bed where I'm lying with a needle in my arm, there are tears in his eyes and and I hear him say "Please Goddess, I don't think I could take losing her again. I love her so much." "Don't worry, my daughter. the two of you will grow old together but you must have this time alone there is much you must learn and remember. Come." I took Her hand and looking back at Andy I whispered, "I love you My Lord. Wait for me," and I followed 'The ALL Mother' through the veil into my past.
