I went into 2016 with the firm intention of closing some of the ongoing series so my readers could binge read their way from beginning to end. That’s still my overall intention, but I *might* have gotten a little sidetracked by a side project that’s been tumbling around in my head for a while.
Ha. Right. Those things happen. *clears throat* Let’s move on.
The first drafts of the next three books in the Monstrous Matchmaker series are done. They still need some tweaking and a little TLC, but Akakios, Vane, and Lon all have some sexy one-on-one time with a special lady friend coming. There are still stories I want to tell based in that world, but the original monsters have all found someone to canoodle with and that makes me happy.
The first draft of Cursed Bones, the 3rd Grimwood book, is underway. I had a little hiccup with my opening scenes (as in, they weren’t taking the story in the direction it needed to go), but that book is firmly in my head and wants to be written. And Isobel…well, she has a few issues she needs to deal with. And a curse to lift. AS ONE SOMETIMES MUST DO.
The good thing about the aforementioned hiccup is that as I was scowling at those words in frustration the sexy sci-fi I’ve been toying with for a while bubbled up. Sometimes scenes demand to be written down. So I did. Now I have a couple thousand words on a fun, little arranged marriage sci-fi story. Except it’s not so fun for the characters. Because, you know, they have to deal with abandonment issues and … other stuff.
Anyway. My muse is demanding and (sometimes) fickle, but she gives me plenty to think about. Which is great! I have words clamoring to get out and lots of stories bouncing around in my head. February should be an absolute blast!
