The Grand Warlock has hijacked this post!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aleksander. Okay, no it's Dra'Kaedan. 😈 Let's start with the obvious. This is a boring ass way to start a blog post. In the year 1369 I became the king of the Draconis Court of D’Vaire. Blah, blah, blah. You got a ring of silver, another one of gold that no one can figure out and Fate slapped D'Vairedraconis on your wrist. Like we haven't heard this story a million times.😑Tell us something interesting! 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. Yep, just five until Latarian and I knocked on the door. For Fate's sake, she's a bitch. 😣Breathe Dra'Kaedan, no time for a tangent! Only one of them was known to me even though my only two cousins were among the mix. Hey Bigfoot, here would have been a spot where you could have given us more insight. Why didn't you know your cousins? What kind of freakshow court did you come from? 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. HELL YES IT DID! And we both know you wake up every morning thanking Fate that I did! Why? Because I'm awesome!😁 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. If you don't know my story, what are you waiting for? Buy it. Did I mention that I'm awesome yet? 😜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? Good question! Enlighten us please. 👀  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. In other words, he isn't going to tell anyone shit about himself. You can fancy it up and say you prefer it to be about the rest of us but mostly it's because he's secretive as hell. We've learned nothing so far! 👎

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. What is wrong with you? Brogan's the best thing in my life. Of course I can't imagine the poor soul that winds up with you but I digress. 💥 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. Allow me to translate: I am lonely constantly. I wish I had a partner to share my life but I'm scared.

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. Yep, still scared. 😨 It's going to be so funny when his mate shows up. I might have to use my magic to sedate myself so I don't laugh myself into some kind of crazy state. He's probably going to piss in his pants. I need to make sure my phone is charged at all times so I can make a video of that. Let’s take a step outside the doors of our mansion The man never takes a step outdoors unless he's prodded and nagged so I have no clue why he said that. Perhaps he was trying for irony? 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. The Council is enormous and we meet cool new people all the time. I've seen the current book list. It's HUGE!

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. No, but we might be lulled into boredom if we have to keep reading these stupid letters of yours. 😭 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. Read the books! Read the books! Read the books!💞

Thanks for your time in reading this. I can't believe I'm still awake after this whole thing! 💤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! You seriously do need to read Irresistible Indigo and every other D'Vaire book! You're going to love reading Idris and Mac. They are incredible together I promise! If I'm right you should totally send me some cake and don't forget the frosting!😋

This one is a bit short...

Five weeks ago, I sprained my finger and unfortunately, the tears in my collateral ligaments are still healing. I’m back at the orthopedist at the end of the month to check on it and with some luck, I’ll get to stop wearing the straps anchoring it soon. As you can imagine, it’s limiting my time on the computer. But I'm squeezing in as much writing and editing as I can. It was great to finally return to the D’Vaire household with Scales and Stone, and we’ll be there again for the next edition to the series, which is a holiday story. In my Facebook group, I’ll reveal the first hint about what to expect from the D’Vaires and their loved ones tomorrow morning. Although I’d hoped to be finished with a book by now, I’m still plugging away at it. The characters are being patient with me, which I appreciate. Like Scales and Stone, it takes place at the D’Vaire mansion, and it’s been fun to hang out with some of my favorite people. At this point, I’m still paranoid about whether these...

The series returns to the D'Vaire mansion soon!

Caution: If you haven't read Blaze of Eternity yet, there are spoilers ahead! Resurrection of the Fallen was a book that, despite its length, I completed in less than three weeks. As fast as Conley drives, it’s not much of a surprise that he had to make sure his story was told swiftly. I worked from morning until night, and that book remains one of my favorite stories. The only slow day was the day I had to write the death scene. It took me a few hours to brace myself to write it, but it was otherwise a wonderful experience. One thing I love is the format, but I didn’t want to replicate unless the right project demanded it. While historical romances are something I adore and getting to play in around in the past is always fun for me, I figured Resurrection would be completely unique in that way. I know some readers don’t enjoy reading the historical content, but I started this series for me, and I will continue to write characters and stories that move me and make me want to read...

Twists and turns

Shadowy Illusions was a fun, but emotional project, and I'm thrilled that Amaury was so insistent on telling his story. He definitely deserves a happily ever after, and so do his mates. After spending a few months hanging out with the Gennevioses, I enjoyed them, but I was ready to move on.  I’ve spoken several times now in my Facebook group about how many of the books this year contain characters that came into my head long before the D’Vaire series planted its roots in my brain. I'm not sure why they chose now to demand things, but I was happy to oblige. The next book is the last of those…at least for now, because I have a ton of old stories, and I certainly can’t predict who is going to jump in and request a story next.  Unlike Matebond Dance and Deliciously Enchanted , where the stories paralleled their original tales, the couple coming next barely resemble their foundational characters. Their story has edged its way near the top of the list of books I love most. It featu...
