2019: More D'Vaire on the way!

So, I can’t remember what information I’ve offered as far as what to expect from me in 2019 so I thought I would get you up to date. At this point here’s what's ahead:

Becoming D’Vaire – This is High Arcanist Delaney (the Dark) D’Vaire’s story. We’re editing it right now and I have to tell you I can’t wait for you to read this one. I love all the guys I’ve created but some of them are higher up on my list of favorites and these two are right there at the top. Their book was the first time I finished one and was horribly sad that I had to stop. It was a hangover that I think has taken me the full year since I finished it to get over. I plan to release it in March.
The next guy up is Emperor Chrysander Draconis. As you can imagine, his story needed to be rather epic as he’s the one who leads the dragons as well as the Council of Sorcery and Shifters, so he has two books. Unlike the nasty cliffhanger between Alaric and Chander’s two books, I promise you I didn’t leave you cursing either of our heroes’ names. The titles of His Majesty’s books are No Ordinary Drakeling and Eminently Elf. They do tell you a bit about what to expect of the man who will help Chrysander lead the Council in the future.
The fifth novel expected out in 2019 is from two characters still waiting to meet you. Costas will appear first in No Ordinary Drakeling and so will his mate but for now I’m going to keep the little mystery thing of who he is because I can't stop being mean.
Last on the list is something different for me. It’s the first short I’ve done at only around 25,000 words and it’s not even a romance, but it is loads of goofy fun. Have you wondered what happens when the whole D’Vaire clan decides to host a big holiday get-together? Well, if you have then you’ll get your answer later this year when Letters to Aleksanta becomes available. It’s told mostly from Aleksander’s point and I enjoyed stepping into his shoes for more than a single chapter at a time. I hope you will get a kick out of their hijinks.

There’s one more book that is completed and that is Dravyn’s story which you will likely see in 2020. I haven’t gotten this one scheduled yet, but I’ll let you know once I’ve moved forward with it. Since I’m apparently in a sharing mood, my current project is Imperial Duke Damian’s tale. I hit the halfway mark yesterday and it’s both pleasing me as well as frustrating me. I love him and I’m crazy about his other half, but my brain can’t stop fast forwarding. I want to tackle the next couple and keep going and going. I haven’t added any new stories however, my husband reminded me last night that I do have another pair that actually predates the creation of the D’Vaire series that I have yet to squeeze in. Which means I have tons to do so I need to get to it!

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...
