An interlude

Flames gave me a little surprise.

I was writing  that they were going back to the cabin when Santino appeared. She tried to inject Nick with the bond breaking drug but Sara knocked it away.  Santino is now really in trouble with the Vampire Council though she's delusional and thinks that she'll only get a slap on the wrist. Her Clan like Nick's is near royalty. Nick sends her away but will she really turn herself in to the Council?

I hadn't planned on Santino showing up. I was thinking she had left when Nick called the Council about her and her ex kicked her out of his place. Then Chapter eight segwayed. 

Wind will now be a little different. because I have a feeling Santino doesn't turn herself in and she figures into Wind prominently. 

I did tell you I'm a pantser, right? :)

Now the scenes in my head are all changing around.

Mortal Voice. I ordered the proofs(two). One for me and one for my proofreader. They should be here by April 4.

I had a college friend go through it before I sent it to Sharon, but like me the friend isn't perfect so there's probably a lot of errors that were missed. We're both terrible with punctuation but I mainly wanted a basic read though to catch any major errors. My proof reader can catch the stuff we missed because she's good.

I can't wait until the book signing. I'll have my new book! 

A brief rundown

I set up a free promotion for the 18th of April for my book Earth Reader in lieu of the release of Mortal Voice. It should be out around that time or near there.

I also set up a free promotion for the 5th of May for Fire Walker.

So if you don't already have them, that's the time to get them.

Flames. I'm rounding the chapter out. They interviewed the suspects and next comes a revelation. Also a little 'them time'. After all they are suppose to be on vacation. :)

Wind. Still in the first chapter. They have discovered that the victims have all been to a club just before they died. A club that caters to would-be-vampires. The LEO assigned as their liaison hates fake vampires.

MVII is still in the second chapter. Still haven't figured out what I want in the research material they have so I'm stalled for a bit. Think I'll have Paul go through it, then have someone try to steal it. Stir the pot a bit with that.

Toby's book and 'Eye' is still in the wings, done and waiting.

Deadly Waters bible is still being worked on. I haven't even started the story yet.

Haven't even started Aether's bible yet. The idea is just sitting in my mind.

I have thirty other book ideas on the computer in my Misc. 'books to be worked on' folder, including the two Alliance books. Plus the basket of written ideas that I haven't put on the computer yet. I also have a journal with more story ideas beside my desk. Sometimes I wish I could clone myself so I can write more. I have so many stories I want to write but only two hands and only so much time to work.

Sometimes I even wish I had ghostwriters like James Patterson so I could put out several books at a time.

And of course the money he makes would be nice too. :)

Anyway, I've been distracted by all these plot bunnies hitting me at once. All the stories want to be written and now!  The Alliance books are kicking at me, but I need to finish Elemental Voice books first before I start another series of books since I already got EV, the companion series, and MV going.  The dragon books are on hold right now since 'Eye' is finished.

Once one book is finished, another slips into the slot and I have a hard time holding off on working on it. Since Mortal Voice is done, MVII slid in and when I finished 'Eye' the Alliance books moved up and knocked. But I have EV to finish.

It is always a big deal when I finish a book. I have so many distractions that getting any of the books to the end is like a miracle. Which is why I work on three at a time; at least that way one of them will get finished! 

Book signing coming up in May

I set up  a book signing for Cinco de Mayo at ABC Books here in Springfield MO, 11 am to 2 pm.

My new book Mortal Voice should be out and there so if you want a signed copy, come.

Mark your calendars!

The two main characters, Jaci Travers and Paul Rooney, run Necro-Covery which searches for missing persons, presumed dead.  Paul is a PI while Jaci has a unique gift: The earth talks to her like a gossip to her coffeeklatch.  This gift allows Jaci to find the missing, the hidden.

Flames is coming along. I finished the interviews so I just have to round up that chapter. Using fire as the killing method speaks to a passion/strong emotion. That doesn't go away even when the object of that emotion is no longer there. Memories and the mind can play tricks...

Wind. I'm revamping the first chapter and making it longer. I think it needs more than four pages but I'll see how the revamping is going. It might only need four to five pages to start. I made the victims vampires instead of what I originally was going to do. It adds more to the story I think. A wind whisperer killing vampires. If it got out, it would be hunting season on Voices.

Waters. I haven't touch this at all and I need to. The bible needs to get done and I haven't even started the first chapter yet. I don't know where I want it to start though I have scenes for further in the book. It's mainly set in a marina and on a boat. I got a pic of the boat, a catamaran I think they're called. I got to do more research on that too. As I said the bible needs to get done so I have every thing at my fingertips when I need it.

And the dragon books, both Fallborn and standalones, are still in holding. Until 'Eye' is published that's where they'll stay for at least a little while.

I got Flames, Wind, and MVII open to work on right now.

I put a sneak peak of the first Alliance book up on my Sidereal blog. If you haven't seen it already then go read it. I might open it up as well to work on. I'm itching to start them.
