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.

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...

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...

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...
