Last Post of 2018

Is there any other time of year as busy as this one? I feel like I blinked and now it’s nearly three weeks into December. I wish I could say the rest of the month is going to quiet down but I am getting on a plane in three days so there’s packing to do and a million other things I want some little elves to march in and do for me! Since that’s not likely to happen I’m going to have to get my act in gear.

But let’s focus on fun stuff and at the top of that list for me is always D’Vaire. I finished a full-length novel this month and wrote the first short story in the series that is all about the holidays. It’s not a romance but a peek into what happens when the D’Vaires invite the whole gang over to their house to celebrate. It’s mostly told from Aleksander’s point of view and I enjoyed stepping into his shoes for more than a single chapter. With some luck, I hope to get it to you next year. 

I gave it to my husband to read yesterday while he sat around waiting for me at the hairdresser and he came running over as my gray hair was being cowed into behaving my hair dye because he was so excited about one season. Since it’s the first short and doesn’t focus on a mated pair I was concerned it was just silly but I’m feeling better about it after his reaction. 

My confidence took a hit this week when I broke an author rule and read a bad review. None of my books have a lot of them so each one is precious to the overall rating on the book. One reader just didn’t like Disregarding Fate (#8) and gave it a single star. I regret allowing it to get under my skin. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that, so I should’ve stayed far, far away.

Moving on, I am super excited to tell you that next month Book 10 is coming out! The Summoner’s Path will be available on January 17th and I’ll put it up for pre-order a few days prior for those us that like to have it download the minute it becomes available. As you’ve probably guessed, this is Grand Summoner Dre’Kariston D’Vaire’s story. It’s full of twists and turns and I hope you like it!

I want to thank all of my readers for making 2018 the best D'Vaire one yet. Thanks to you I have tons of plans for the future and will be able to bring you plenty more fantastic couples. If you've already celebrated your holidays these season I hope you made some beautiful new memories. Should you be still awaiting your special day or days, have a wonderful time!

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...

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 wr...

The Grand Warlock has hijacked this post!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aleksander . Okay, no it's Dra'Kaedan. 😈 Let's start with the obvious. This is a boring ass way to start a blog post. In the year 1369 I became the king of the Draconis Court of D’Vaire. Blah, blah, blah. You got a ring of silver, another one of gold that no one can figure out and Fate slapped D'Vairedraconis on your wrist. Like we haven't heard this story a million times. 😑 Tell us something interesting! There were only five dragons who left the court of our birth to follow me and we remained a group of six until a few years ago. Yep, just five until Latarian and I knocked on the door. For Fate's sake, she's a bitch. 😣 Breathe Dra'Kaedan, no time for a tangent! Only one of them was known to me even though my only two cousins were among the mix. Hey Bigfoot, here would have been a spot where you could have given us more insight. Why didn't you know your cousins? What kind of freakshow court did you come...
