Young Adult Fantasy Novel is doing well!

My young adult fantasy novel is coming along wonderfully. I did not write up an outline to start with and just let it happen, scene by scene. I have been pleasantly surprised by the curves and direction the story line has taken. It's been a fun journey and it's not over yet. I've just completed the rough draft and can see that Vyolet's story is going to take at least a second novel to tell her tale, but probably will turn out to be a trilogy (three books) when it's finished.

It's a world of unicorns, fairies, trolls, centaurs, etc. all set into a mythical world that Vyolet (a fourteen year old human) finds herself drawn into. Befriended by the young centaur, Jontur, she finds herself being pursued by a mysterious force that is determined to consume her. Jontur must not only help keep her safe, but find the answers to both present and past questions, as the two seem to be on a collision course.
