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!

It's great to be home.

The husband and I flew to Washington, DC for a long weekend and we had a wonderful trip. My niece and her family spent most of that time with us, and we’d gone entirely too long without seeing each other. On Sunday night, we had the awesome opportunity to attend an Iron Maiden concert and one of my favorite bands, Within Temptation, opened for them. While we had a fantastic time on our trip, sleep was not high on our priority list, so it’s going to take me a few days to get caught up. Beauty and Valor was released about twelve hours or so before I boarded my plane, and I really hope everyone enjoyed Preston and Ridgely’s story. Preston is an old character, and many details about where he came from and what race he belonged to changed, but the core of who he was never differed. He went through a few mates before I found the right one, and Ridgely was the perfect fit. Halfway through Gargoyle Birthright , that pair was distracting me, and there was no question that their book was re...

A sentinel and his dagger.

In my last blog, I talked about how D’Vaire was created. The first book was Dra’Kaedan and Brogan and I can’t wait for you to see their tale retold but let’s talk about what happened after the original story was completed. When I started the novel, I didn’t have an outline or anything. I wrote it by the seat of my pants and not even I knew how it would end. D’Vaire was supposed to be designed so that each one was a standalone title but when I was done there were so many things I didn’t have room to include. They would have to wait for the second which turned out to be Sentinel’s Dagger. Gavrael was the beginning of the sentinels. In fact, when I first started crafting his tale there was no Lich Sentinel. It was Gavrael (with Gedeon at his side) who was going to approach the Council to change the way the sentinels functioned within it. But I got sidetracked before his story could be completed by Chander and so things changed. (We’ll get to all that in a future post!) The thing you le...

Schereding in a new warlock book

Scheredin’s story wasn’t one I ever thought would come to fruition. As I created the D’Vaire universe, I put Noirin and Scheredin in there because they’re a vital part of my life and it was fun to add my gaming personas into my fantasy world. However, while Noirin’s path was chartered quickly thanks to Rafe and how his romance with Aleksander worked out, Scheredin didn’t cooperate in the slightest. His personality emerged as I poked and prodded at him, and he was full of surprises. I tried to pair him with multiple partners, and although I was pretty sure about his magic, I wasn’t positive he wanted to be a dark warlock until I wrote The Dragon Masquerade . But from the start I wanted Scheredin’s partner to have something to do with his gaming. For me, that was a neat way to honor the true Scheredin who exists virtually. Thankfully, Scheredin and Kieran liked the idea too, and when they were ready, the details spilled out in a rush. Their book wound up being one of those that was relat...
