I'm proud of my brand new Chapter 1 for my YA crossover fantasy novel. Huge thanks to @aldajm.bsky.social and @chloemarcus.bsky.social for helping me find my way there. (And thanks always to @eomara.bsky.social.)

My new beginning::

The apple sat smugly in its glass bowl, mocking her. Seya knew inanimate objects didn’t act out of spite – they didn’t act, period. But the way it lounged indolently, its skin shiny and unblemished, felt like a direct taunt. She sighed and picked up the fruit; her inspection showed only a small bruise on the bottom. Scowling, she tossed the apple back in the bowl. All around her, students transformed apples into juice with an ease born of years of practice and innate magical talent. Talent she was sorely lacking. Seya stared dejectedly out the window, wishing she was at the lake that peeked through the trees rather than in this depressing classroom. The classroom is fine, she chided herself. You’re depressed because your magic is useless. It was true; if she ever managed a successful spell, she’d think this cavernous room, with its beige walls and narrow windows, the most beautiful place on earth.
