After having been quite ill for the past two and a half weeks, I feel I am finally getting my bearings once again.
I’ve been working with my partners on Dark Red Press and beginning to really build something of that. It has been quite fun and I’ve been learning a lot along the way!
As for my writing, I had written an origin story for one of the characters in my novel The Weight Of Night, Lily Abrams. She’s a feisty little redhead with a difficult backstory. After I had written it, I re-read it and realized that it was far too distant for what I wanted. I needed the reader to see inside her head more, to understand the choices she makes and why, good or bad.
So, now I’m going through the process of rewriting the story in first person. It has a greater feel of immediacy now. You get to see Lily’s world through Lily’s eyes, which is a real treat for those who found her brusque personality so damned charming in the novel.
Lily plays a much greater part in the next novel of the Progeny Series (slated for next year), but this little tale should keep readers’ appetites whetted for the coming adventures.
In addition to Lily’s story, titled Trinkets And Arrows, I’m in the process of revitalizing a story I wrote a few years back that is more of a paranormal romance/thriller, but it certainly isn’t your average take on the subject matter. That story is Valence Of Infinity, and it should be coming out sometime later this year.
There is just so much to do and so little fricking time! You know what I mean?
