Words are Tricky

Just posted a sweet video of Alice and I taking about five minutes to figure out, literally, the thirteenth word of the book.

I’m as much a procrastinator as anyone, but sometimes, things take time, and you kinda gotta go through everything you can think of before you get where you want. This was one of those times.

There’s a shortened version and a longer version if you want to be a part of the painstaking struggle it is to find the right word for the right spot.

Extra credit if you can guess what the word is before we get there!

Here’s the shorter, 37 second version ;)

🌙 Moonshine: Path of the Raven is a YA fantasy steeped in magical realism, history, and folklore. Set in the early 1900s South, the story follows Sam, a Black youth working on a plantation who finds himself entangled in a mystical journey after being bitten by a wolf imbued with King Arthur’s spirit. With the enigmatic John as his guide, Sam encounters witches, werewolves, and legendary figures like John Henry. As he transforms into something more than human, he must navigate loss, identity, and destiny in a world where myth and reality intertwine. A poignant tale of empowerment, magic, and resilience, Moonshine is a must-read for fans of history-infused fantasy.
