That’s right! Sky Woman is now in print! And you can expect the rest of The Seeder Saga in print by the end of the year!

Sorry for the delay on this…I really wanted it to be just right. I’m hard at work formatting the other two books (and writing the second book of the Elemental Destinies series), and it’s all coming together.

Thanks to all of you who’ve taken the journey with Miri, Rain and Lizzie through a galaxy full of hot men and high adventure!!

You can still order the digital version via Amazon, with print hooking up to Amazon shortly. For now, follow this link to the Createspace page for a paperback copy.

Inventing That Interesting Secondary Character

 

I love a good secondary character. If the main characters are the meat of your story, the secondary characters are the seasoning that flavor it and give it spice and their relationships to the major characters are what give the story its depth.

Not only can they add comedic relief (like the lovestruck first mate, Mr. Barton in Eight Nights At Sea or Useless the cat in Someday in Dublin) but they can also give you an extra punch in the heart (like Sami – the young girl who idolizes my heroine in my newest novel, Windsinger).

Book Excerpt: Someday In Dublin #romance

“Took you long enough, luv.”
Michael’s voice, cloudy with sleep, reached her as she stepped quietly back into the bedroom.
“Sorry to wake you,” she said. “I guess I’ve finally adjusted to the time change. I was wide awake so I figured I’d get a shower.”
He gestured to the cat sitting on his chest. “You left me here with no one but a cat for company and now she’s taken over.” Continue reading

So Here’s What I’m Working On Next…The Elemental Series

elements

I’m in final edits for Someday In Dublin, which means the greater majority of that book is in the can. Whew! And now I can really begin hammering out the next project – The Elemental Destiny Series.

This is going to be a four part work – four individual full-length novels with protagonists based on their affinity for one of the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They won’t be releasing in that order – it’s more like Air, Water, Earth and Fire, but you get the gist of it.

Each of these characters lives partly in the supernatural world, though they are very firmly rooted in present-day earth. I’ve been kicking this one around for a good, long while, outlining and reworking the outline and fleshing it out.

One of my biggest complaints about The Seeder Saga (and I can’t help but think it was an issue for the readers) is that Books 1 & 2 are essentially stand-alone books, up until their final chapters. That’s mainly because when I wrote the first one, I hadn’t really planned for a trilogy, and then I was halfway into book two and could only hint at the plot of book three by introducing you to its hero in a passing manner.

Everything comes together in book three, with a lot of great callbacks and visits to our friends in books one and two, but they don’t really have the cohesive feel I’d like out of a series.

This one will have that, and an intricately woven plot that centers around a series of mysteries that reveal themselves through the course of the series, culminating in life-or-death decisions that will affect the entire human race.

This one is going to take a while to churn out, but it’ll be worth it, I promise. In the meantime, you’ll have Somewhere In Dublin, and I’ll toss a few more novellas your way to keep your blood pumping, I promise.

Off to work I go!

I’m Still In The Mood To Tease! Here’s A Bit Of “Eight Nights At Sea”

I think I’ll continue teasing you a bit (we all love a good tease, don’t we?). This time, you get a small taste of “Eight Nights At Sea. Here we get to know Zephyr and Rina as they declare a truce after a particularly fiery (and steamy) encounter involving a tossed-up skirt and a bushel of apples.

Closing Out Tease Week: Here’s A Never-Before-Seen Peek Into “Changeling”

Changeling

Hello readers – and here it is, the final installment of tease week! I thought I’d end things with a look into the upcoming final installment of the Seeder Saga, “Changeling.”

Lizzie is kidnapped from Earth by a handsome stranger, only to find out her father was from another planet, and embroiled in a plot that threatens mankind all over the galaxy. She’s thrown together with Indar, a member of the Seeder Corps, and together, they’re going to have to figure out a mystery that spans time and space – that is, if they can keep their hands off each other long enough to do so. Along the way, they’ll catch up with our old friends, Miri, Raine, and their men – all of whom prove valuable in this quest.
