D'Vaire in 2023

Last week, Grymmie’s tale finally went live, and Lich Reaper’s Lament was the second longest book in the series. There was a ton more planned in the outline, but if I’d included everything, I would probably still be writing it! One thing I wanted to assure everyone is that although we learned little about enchanters, that won’t be the case for long. Since Lich Reaper’s Lament, I wrote two different books featuring Devlin’s race, and you’ll learn plenty about their people next year.

If you’ve finished Lich Reaper’s Lament, I’m sure you’re already wondering what’s next. Book thirty-four features a character who first entered the series in Imperial Twist. His race is small, and he calls Las Vegas home. As for his mate, he’s new to the D’Vaire world and so is his race. In my reader’s group tomorrow, I’ll share the first picture hint with the blurb following in a couple of weeks.

Since it’s the end of the year, let’s talk a little more about what to expect from the D’Vaires in 2023. I wrote seven full-length novels and I’m working on a short story right now for next December, which will again bring the holidays to Aleksander and Rafe’s mansion. It has a twist that I think is really fun, and although I’ve already re-written a chapter and still have a ton of work to do, it’s been enjoyable. 

I’m taking my time with it, and I have a long list of editing and other tasks that I have to complete, but I've finished writing novels for the year. Although I love my job, my creative batteries need a recharge and I’m working on giving myself more space in 2023 to breathe so I can let my imagination run wild. Don’t worry though, I have not scaled my projects, just re-worked my schedule. I spend the first few months of the year working at a snail’s pace, then by mid-summer I’m wondering why the hell I don’t have more finished.

In January, I’ll go back to work on crafting plots and haranguing reluctant guys in the D’Vaire universe so we can finally read their happily ever afters. I’ve put together a short list again this year of books I want to write, so please keep your fingers crossed everyone cooperates with me. As 2022 draws to a close, I’m still in disbelief that there are thirty-three published D’Vaire novels.

 I’m incredibly grateful to have such wonderful readers, and I love that I can bring the D’Vaire world to you. Thank you for every D’Vaire book you’ve read, and each guy in the universe you’ve cared for and loved. I wish you and yours the happiest of holidays, and may 2023 bring everyone good health and happiness.

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...

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...

Two elves, a centaur, and an enviable collection of toys...

Unpredictable Fate was an interesting journey. When I started Disregarding Fate , I had an idea of what Evlithar’s life was like and why he made the decisions that he did. Evlithar wasn’t perfect and he wasn’t always right, but when I neared the end, I found myself altering aspects I thought long ago decided. The birth of Kalthekor’s child sent him reeling and he changed drastically. By the time I completed Evlithar and Cadlyr’s journey I was feeling rather sorry for Kalthekor. But I set it aside. He had a mate and unfortunately, she did not make him happy. When we got to the editing stage of Disregarding Fate , Hope (one of my editors) mentioned how bad she felt for him too and was there something that could be done to help him. Although I could understand and appreciate her point of view, Fate’s choice had been made. I moved on but it festered in my brain. Out of nowhere a centaur charged in and nothing would ever be the same. I grew excited about the idea of giving Kalthe...
