Looking for a sneak peek at the next Angela Mystique novel? Well there is a short Angela story in the Ladies of Horror 2009 coming out October 2009 so do watch for copies of that book! Here is your sneak peek into the Prologue of:
The Astral Angel
A clear quartz crystal sat on a self with a red alter cloth folded underneath it. The crystal was seven inches long and three inches wide with one extra little crystal jutting out from the side. This little side crystal is a perfect twin to the larger.
On top of the crystal a single flame burns constant and bright, without a wick. The presence of fire on this crystal keeps the images it creates inside the crystal moving at a rapid pace. The twin causes the flame to create another figure to dance, entwining and releasing in a constant battle between each other.
To the left of the crystal a single puddle of water, like the drip from a huge pitcher of water, settles on the cloth without soaking it. The water reflects without movement, it’s deadly intent intoxicating as it is potent.
Hugging the liquid in a horse-shoe shape is white sea sand. Surrounding the crystal, the puddle, and the sea sand is a complete circle of sea salt in its roughest form. It sits in the dark waiting, as a single trail of smoke curls around the whole display, journeys above, and swirls into a perfect circle traveling in a counter- clock-wise motion. Almost imperceptible, the smoke also clings below the crystal, moving in a clock wise position.
A malicious, hidden jewel, to capture, trap and confuse the innocent.
It was working.
