Finding Drexley

I promised to answer any question you asked, and this week I'm tackling Drexley. Let’s start with the basics in case you are new to the series or simply can’t recall all the details. Drexley is a sentinel who is missing. His leader, Lich Sentinel Alaric Daray discovered reams of papers in his office at the now destroyed sentinel compound. With the help of a few of his brethren, they went through each sheet one by one.

Among the information found were lists of all the men under Alaric’s care. When they compared the older ones to the new they realized there were several men who disappeared from later pages. All of those sentinels were tracked down with the exception of Drexley. At that time, the Sentinel Brotherhood was still beholden to their creators, the Order of Necromancia. Once Alaric’s memory was restored (the compound drained all sentinels) he remembered that when Drexley disappeared five hundred or so years before his necromancer was a man named Adney Blackwell.

Arch Lich Chander Daray—Alaric’s mate—was able to tell them that Adney Blackwell was a necromancer who owned a home called Blackwell House. Around the time Drexley went missing, Adney Blackwell reportedly committed suicide after the death of his son. The body was burned in a traditional funeral pyre before anyone could confirm that he did take his life. Adney left his home to his housekeeper, an elf who had to fight the necromancers to keep her home.

A few years have now passed in the series since the mystery of Drexley started. The Sentinel Brotherhood now have jurisdiction over the lands of the rival Consilium Veneficus which is where Blackwell House still stands today. Though the sentinels have scoured not only the area but the entire continent they've found no trace of Drexley. As elite assassins, they are never going to give up the cause to find one of their own, but Alaric and the others aren’t really sure where else to look.

So, what’s the story? Well, I can’t give you as much information as I’m sure you’d like. I do know where Drexley is. I can tell you he’s had a decent life. He has no idea anyone is looking for him. I know exactly who his mate is and when the time is right, they are going to meet. In other words, Drexley is very much on the long list of D’Vaire books to come. It’s not much of a spoiler to tell you that the reason the Sentinel Brotherhood can’t find him is because he’s on a tiny magical realm. Drexley’s not by himself, but I won’t deny that he gets lonely sometimes. His experiences outside of the sentinel compound have been quite unique and I’m looking forward to getting the chance to tell his tale, but we’ve got some terrific books to get through before his time comes.

Speaking of the series, on Saturday Oct. 27 you finally get to see the cover for the next one in the series, Irresistible Indigo and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on Idris and Mac’s story on November 15th!

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...

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...

The Emperors, Part 1

Last week you finally got to step into the world of Emperor Chrysander Draconis. From the moment I created him his mate was there, and Emperor Ellery Draconis is one of my favorite characters. Cliffhangers are irritating I know but there was simply no way to put everything in a single novel. The conclusion of Chrys and Ellery’s story is titled Eminently Elf and will be available on July 25th. Although I would love to give you their playlist I’m going to wait until after Eminently Elf is published. I’m always afraid I will give out spoilers that ruin it for you so that’s why I’m delaying that. I promise it’s not just because I’m mean. Next week, select titles in the series will be available in print format for the very first time! I’m very excited to be able to offer Dra’Kaedan’s Coven (D’Vaire 1) and Sentinel’s Dagger (D’Vaire 2) in lovely paperbacks. The goal is to eventually get all of them converted but I don’t have a timetable for that yet. I can tell you that No Ordinary Drak...
