The Hawthorne-Stones

On Tuesday, I finished the latest D’Vaire book despite an unexpected break in the middle to have new flooring installed in several rooms in my house. I wanted the project to happen while I wasn’t writing, but sometimes schedules are far harder to manage than they should be. Regardless, I kept on track and completed the second D’Vaire book that features three men picked by Fate to be together.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of the guys. Two of them are characters that have appeared in the series before, though they never shared a scene, while the third was introduced in the last book I wrote. One guy had a cameo way back in Resurrection of the Fallen and has appeared a couple more times since then. The other was in a single book, Unpredictable Fate.

Let’s talk about the recent release, Gargoyle Birthright. What a joy that household was to create, and I didn’t want to leave them. In fact, another book is already completed that features a member of that household. He was so persistent that I was only halfway through Jordan and Hunter’s book when I knew everything about his life and his mate. 

As for the leaders of the gargoyles, Hunter and Jordan have people to find. Something tells me there are many, many gargoyles lurking around the world, and hopefully they have stories they want to share with us. I want to learn more about their people, and what life was like after they dispersed. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for everyone, and they are probably overdue for some happiness.

When you finished Gargoyle Birthright, you may have already been looking ahead and wondering what was next in the series. We have two novels left in 2022, and the next one is two people you’ve already gotten to know a little. One is a shifter, while the other is undead. The last book for the year also features an undead guy. The book I just finished has an undead guy. My brain is clearly stuck there lately. 

Because the next one I’m writing is also an undead guy. What can I say, I love these guys. I’m taking a quick break to edit, and complete a bunch of other tasks while I work on the plot for the next book. It’s keeping me up at night and I admit, I love it when my characters do that. So, the couple. I tried so hard to keep as many books as possible from existing characters, but I don’t always get my way. 

We have a shifter who is completely new, and our undead gentleman is mentioned (kind of) in the book I just completed. They are new to the D’Vaire world, but not to me. They’ve been lurking around waiting for me to get everything into alignment to make their story possible. There are many twists and turns to this one that intertwine with storylines all the way back to the beginning of the series. I’m really looking forward to getting started!

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...

Making the most of time...

Every October my husband and I do our best to go to Minnesota where we spend a week relaxing in a cabin with my best friend’s mom Cecilia. (It’s just the three of us as Patrick and everyone else has declared it boring – there’s a lot of pajamas, popcorn, and movies.) Let me tell you a little about her and our relationship. When I was 23 or 24, I became estranged from my parents. It wasn’t one specific incidence or fight but a nonverbal decision on both sides that perhaps the only thing that suited us after years of issues was space. Patrick was already a part of my life and my best friend. When he got married when we were both 27, I finally got the chance to meet his family. From the moment we met them, they immediately made us feel like we were family too. Since that day sixteen years ago, we’ve spent countless moments with them. We’ve shared holidays especially Christmas, trips, and Patrick’s mom became our adopted mom. We in fact have called her mom for many years. My relationsh...

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...
