From the desk of His Highness...

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aleksander. In the year 1369 I became the king of the Draconis Court of D’Vaire. There were only five dragons who left the court of our birth to follow me and we remained a group of six until a few years ago. Only one of them was known to me even though my only two cousins were among the mix. It didn’t matter, in time we all learned everything there was to know about each other and we became more than just a court—we are a family.

Everything changed when Dra’Kaedan arrived. I won’t go into the details of his arrival or how we came to the decision to open our doors as a sanctuary. All that information is in his book and I encourage you to read if you aren’t familiar with his story. Since that day, we have slowly grown, and I have watched in wonder as these incredible people have walked through my doors.

So, why am I writing this today? I get asked questions and since I don’t relish the idea of being interviewed, I decided to write this letter instead. I don’t like talking about myself, so I hope you will forgive me for keeping much of myself a mystery. I believe the focus should be on D’Vaire and not necessarily its ruler.

One thing that often comes up in conversations is regarding Fate. Most of the people who belong to the Council of Sorcery and Shifters eagerly await the day their other half walks into their life. I am not one of those people. Do I want a mate? I don’t want to completely negate the idea for the far distance future but currently I have no interest. It doesn’t feel as if I’m missing out. All around me are people who love me, and I care for as deeply in return. I won’t deny that I get lonely but anyone who fools themselves into believing that having a partner will completely take that away is perhaps expecting too much.

Don’t get me wrong, I am surrounded by couples who are devoted to each other and it is lovely to see. I envy their connection but perhaps I’m not suited for such devotion. It’s hard to say and as I’ve noted I’m not ready to find out. Let’s take a step outside the doors of our mansion and look at the D’Vaire series which includes people who don’t call our patch of land in Arizona home. Should Fate match me will it be the end of our books? The answer is an emphatic no.

There are many more people out there and we hope to continue to meet the fascinating people of our Council. It’s impossible to believe none of them will wind up paired so I can assure you the D’Vaire series will not crash because of me. If you want to learn more about our past and the things that have shaped our personalities as well as how we approach everything, I urge you to stay tuned. I believe each book adds another layer that hopefully draws you in closer to the people who I cherish.

Thanks for your time in reading this. I hope you will continue to take this journey with us and your questions regarding any of us are always welcome! And don't miss the upcoming release of Idris and Mac's story in Irresistible Indigo on November 15th!

Origins

As I look ahead to the release of Dra’Kaedan’s Coven, my thoughts are drawn back to how it all started. There have always been characters in my head, but it wasn’t until I was a teenager that I understood they were stories that needed to be told. I have created many and for years I worked on a series of books that I still have yet to write. There are notebooks of plot outlines and timelines but nothing more than a collection of a few chapters. They are all contemporary stories and they started as M/F. My first gay character started as a secondary one, but I kept getting drawn back to him. Once I started reading M/M his story wouldn’t go away. Suddenly, it wasn’t just his story in my head but there were other couples as well. Since I have always been a gamer, its difficult for me to escape fantasy and some of these new people wanted powers. It was time to create a new series. At the start, I was going to do a mixed series. One book M/F and the next M/M. They were going to be mostly s...

Songs for the Grand Summoner

The Summoner’s Path came out last week and I just can’t let anymore time pass without giving you the playlist that helped me bring Dre’Kariston and Somerly’s story to life. Their path was definitely a windy road but thankfully they found their way to love while only giving their storyteller a few gray hairs. I haven’t been writing these blog posts as often as I did when I first started. As much as I would like to keep you in the loop with all that is going on in my exciting and fantastical life, the truth is I’m kind of boring. My best friend is coming to visit our new house in Nevada at the very end of February, so I’ve been knee deep in painting and picking out furniture. We brought nothing with us from Maryland but our clothes, precious treasures, and computers. So, we had a lot to do with the house and we put it off when we first got here only buying the essentials. (We got some potentially worrisome news in regards to his health last night so if you want to send some random h...

The Emperors, Part 1

Last week you finally got to step into the world of Emperor Chrysander Draconis. From the moment I created him his mate was there, and Emperor Ellery Draconis is one of my favorite characters. Cliffhangers are irritating I know but there was simply no way to put everything in a single novel. The conclusion of Chrys and Ellery’s story is titled Eminently Elf and will be available on July 25th. Although I would love to give you their playlist I’m going to wait until after Eminently Elf is published. I’m always afraid I will give out spoilers that ruin it for you so that’s why I’m delaying that. I promise it’s not just because I’m mean. Next week, select titles in the series will be available in print format for the very first time! I’m very excited to be able to offer Dra’Kaedan’s Coven (D’Vaire 1) and Sentinel’s Dagger (D’Vaire 2) in lovely paperbacks. The goal is to eventually get all of them converted but I don’t have a timetable for that yet. I can tell you that No Ordinary Drak...
