[Book Snippet] magnifiqueNOIR episode 8: Fit Right In
And Lonnie thought coming out had been difficult.
Though, to be fair, she hadn’t done that on her own terms. Having such a large family meant that it was damn near impossible to keep any secrets. One of her cousins had told another cousin who told the third one, who then proceeded to spread the word to the fourth one and the fourth one’s much chattier sister, who then blurted it out during one of Penny Knox’s patented Sunday dinners.
By then, the story had morphed into an otherworldly being where Lonnie had gone from holding a girl’s hand on the way to school to having a full-blown make-out session in the locker room of her eighth-grade gym class. A mortified Lonnie had no choice but to tell the true story and reveal her feelings for the cute girl in her class, and she swore that no junior high make-out session had happened. She should’ve ratted out her pimple-faced cousin, who she’d seen kissing a boy – tongue and all – but Lonnie had been too busy worrying about her Grand-Penny’s reaction to her liking girls that way. She’d expected some tears and some, “Where did I go wrong in raising you,” but, to her surprise, her grandmother told her cousin off for sticking her nose in other people’s business.
“And I know damn well yo’ fast ass be out there with them little boys,” which had proven that Penny Knox was, in fact, a mutant fresh out of Xavier’s School of the Gifted – a reference Lonnie held dear because her crush had a thing for Storm.
Sometimes we come out of the closet.
Sometimes, there was never a closet to begin with.
Top pic is Marianna Jacobs, aka “Galactic Purple.” Her looks include:
1. Her look when she’s baking delicious treats <3 2. Her normal, everyday style 3. Pajama fun time!
Bottom pic is Bree Danvers, aka “Cosmic Green.” Her looks include:
1. Her look when she’s doing Let’s Plays for her YouTube channel, “Cosmickaze Bree.” She would do it completely transformed, but Marianna yells at her when she does. Also notice her love for Game Grumps <3 <3 <3 2. Her normal, everyday style, which still has a geeky touch. 3. Pajama fun time! She would be naked, but Marianna yells about things like “decency” and “other people living here, too.” However, if Marianna comes into her room unannounced when she’s naked then that’s Marianna’s fault ;)
Check out more info and updates on the girls on the magnifiqueNOIR Facebook page :)
So one of the things I plan on doing for my new book series is having little comic pages in the book :) They’ll be little illustrated snippets from select scenes in the book.
Enjoy! And don’t forget, you can follow the progress here <3 <3 <3
“Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not magical.”
Marianna Jacobs is an 18-year-old college student with dreams of being a baker. She often does things by the book and could be considered as the leader of the group. She’s kindhearted and always wants to do what’s best for everyone. As a plus sized girl, she sometimes has moments of being insecure about her weight, but as she progresses as a magical girl, she’s becoming more confident in herself.

What does it mean to be magical? Who decides who is magical? What does it take to be magical? Am I magical?
Are we?
Welcome, everyone, to the world of “magnifiqueNOIR”, a book series that delves into the lives of a group of extraordinary magical girls who defend the lives of the people around them. Along the way, they face new challenges that may undo everything that they’ve become, but even so, they always work to be the best women they can be.
This page is dedicated to their adventures, adventures that I feel many others can identify with (minus a horrific monster or two, lol), and I hope their stories can make people realize something very important:
You. Are. Magical.
Many thanks to my good friends over at MuseTap Studios for creating this amazing print of the ladies.
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
