Catching up!

It’s been six months since I wrote a blog post. I didn’t intend to stop writing them for so long, but life got in the way. Between struggles with a lack of creativity and some minor medical issues, I’m trying to work my way back to writing daily. But I did finally finish a book! 

At the start of the year, I was burned out and wasn’t sure how to get my guys to talk to me again. I’ve mentioned before that I have OCD. I also struggle with depression. This year my doctor and I decided medication was a necessity. It has helped. So has balancing out my other health struggles and my ever-changing role as a spouse to someone with primary progressive multiple sclerosis and Sjogren’s syndrome. 

This time of year, I always try to send my editor my dates for the following year. I decided to commit myself to fewer releases in 2024. I’m going to put out five novels and a short story. The biggest change is that they won’t all be D’Vaire books. To find some inspiration, I had to take a huge step back from everything I’ve done in the past decade. 

I needed a project that didn’t require weeks of D’Vaire research. One without the pressure of writing certain characters and ensuring I'm living up to your understandable expectations for guys you’ve grown to adore. I wasn’t even sure I’d finish this book. I started without an outline, and I had no ending. It was just something to do while I waited for a D’Vaire couple to hop into my head. But, as I wrote, I grew further and further attached to the people in it.

Although the book I completed lacks a title, it is the start of a new paranormal romance series. It’s a far different world than D’Vaire. However, it does feature a necromancer because I just can’t stay away from them or dead guys. I hope you’ll give this new series a try and grow to love it as I do.

My next project is also different, but it features some of our favorite D’Vaires. Only this time, there have been some twists in the timeline. I’m still working on figuring out how everyone fits in, but all our favorites will be around. I don’t have plans to rewrite all the couples. Some of them have way better journeys and there is little to tell. 

I’ll get more into who will be featured as I complete books. I thought Dra’Kaedan and Brogan would be first just like the original series, but the timeline has worked out otherwise.

Because my first two projects of the year aren’t related to the actual D’Vaire series, I’m not sure the order I’m going to publish everything yet. I’d like to ensure that you get plenty of the timeline you’re used to between these new series.

But more on that later this year. Let’s get to the D’Vaire series and what the immediate future holds for you. As I’ve mentioned, Henry and Seristyn’s story was a long time coming, and I'm so pleased with the way it turned out. There is one more story this year that pre-dates the D’Vaire series, but it’s not next on the list. 

Our next book is a triple matebond. I wasn’t sure if I’d write another one of those, but as you know, my guys don’t give me choices. This one features three people you’ve met. Some of their appearances have been very brief, but I could at least check a few single guys off my lengthy list of people waiting for books. One is a dead guy. Another is an elf. And the third is a sorcerer.

None of them live at the D’Vaire mansion, but I promise we’ll get back to Rafe and Aleksander’s nutty household before the year is out. In fact, we have a book and a short story coming out later this year at their big ass house. I know there are people you really want to see mated, and they’re on my list too. It’d be a real treat for me to offer you some of their stories in 2024, so cross your fingers they freaking cooperate!

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...
