Finished 1st draft of my second novel - Nanowrimo 2009

After a long 30 days of writing, I finished my 1st draft of my second novel, RISE (title TBD). It's set in Miami, 1926, a day before the Great Miami Hurricane strikes. A 16 year-old girl, Castille, and her two best friends, live in mansions on Millionaires Row. They discover magic at a young age--controlling the power of the storm, telekinesis--but the other girl, Dominic, becomes obsessed with Voodoo magic after her father is killed when she is 13. She envious of Castille's power in magic, and can never keep up. So she steals money from her mother to pay voodoo priests to teach her the way to wake the dead into zombie form. Then all hell breaks out as the two girls face off as the hurricane strikes...
