The Story Behind The Stories
A Priest, a Plague, and a Prophecy - About This Story
A Priest, a Plague, and a Prophecy is a single title involving a sweet man who enjoys food, plants, and books, and the manly (secretly sweet) orc warrior who falls in love with him. I am thrilled to finally publish this story. This is a sweet, low(er)-angst, no-sexy-times-but-lots-of-snuggles, sort of story. Elias is ace but wants romance, and Gurrkk is just the orc to give that to him!
Healing Lance Character Profile - Gust
While I always have affection for every character I create, whether hero or villain, I have to say that I was delightfully surprised and gratified with the final incarnation of Gust. You could say that Gust is Lance’s “better half” (Lance certainly would). Gust is a healer, and his compassion, patience, and fortitude are admirable.
Wisdom’s Allegiance - About the Story
I wanted to be a little different with this one. I’ve tried to be diverse in my shifter series by having not only different shifting animals but also including various nationalities and ethnicities. This time around I wanted “unconventional beauty.”
The Shifter Chronicles Q&A
I love shape-shifter romances and wanted to try my hand at it. I didn't have a set plan about writing a series until the second or third book, and then I couldn't be stopped! LOL. With this series I wanted to mix all the things I loved into one place: paranormal, supernatural, magic, etc.
Throwback Thursday - A Giant’s Friend
Well, while it’s not really Thursday I’d still like to spotlight one of my earlier books that doesn’t always get enough attention. My very first published book, A Giant’s Friend, is a novella that holds a special place in my heart. It opened the world of publishing for me. However, since it was my first, it wasn’t my best. It was still a bit rough, and I should have spent more time cultivating the story.
Author Interview: Writing Process
For me, inspiration comes in every form—from movies, to books, to daily life, to stray thoughts of “what if?” So once I have the inspiration, I let it simmer and make some notes. I have notepads in every room of my home and even some at my day job, so I am never without the ability to jot down my thoughts.
Author Interview
Here are a few quick-fire questions to get a sense of me and what I write. This list was compiled using guest interviews/blogs I’ve written over the years. I decided to present the most relevant ones. Enjoy!
Why I Write
I’ve been writing on and off for most of my life and my first published story was in 2011. Since then I have learned so much about the craft of writing. And the one thing that underwent the most evolution—besides my skill itself—is the reason behind my writing.
