More In The Realm Of Maeryn

Dear Reader,

Seems I’ve hit a brick wall with my latest Demon Queen installment. The book took a vapid turn, and I had to delete a few scenes, and rethink where I’m going.  Sometimes, you just have to walk away from a while, to get the best ending possible.

While I await the muse’s verdict on the ending of Heart of Shadowdyn, I started yet another new series (surprise, surprise). However, this one is for my Kinsey Knight’s persona. Once again, it ties in with the other two series I’ve plotted out, covering the realm of Maeryn, just at a different angle than the others. The four book series is called Elemental. The first book is Earth, then after that it’s Water, Fire and Air, though I’m unclear on the order they’d be in after the first.

I’ve been thinking about this series for a while, but the premises changed drastically a few days ago from what I originally intended. Instead of the POV of quadruplets who call the elements with terrifying accuracy, they’ve become “secondary main characters,” if that makes any sense. Now, the stories are told from Trinity’s POV, who will tie in all the different warring forces from one source, instead of four.

Trinity Liathain is fae, half pixie and half Yaksha (half-breeds of all sorts seem to be a fad with me at the moment). She lives on Earth, but has no idea why. Her parents keep many secrets from her, but she doesn’t question them. She trusts them, or she thinks she does. Most fairies live in Maeryn, where the dark (Dorchaign) and the light (Lochrann) sides have existed since being banished to the otherworld centuries before. Neither side wants anything to do with her, because her parents are mixed heritage. Because of this ,she lives day to day, forgetting there’s a whole other world practically on her doorstep, one she’s never been to. On the occasion, some fae, especially those with mixed blood, or suffering from banishment live on Earth, near the weak spots between the dimensions. On the occasion, far from Maeryn come through the portal, but not often enough that newcomers aren’t immediately noticed by the fae community.  land at And quadruplets: Deorsa, Aden, Kelby and Anemone’s entrance into Trinity’s high school is no different. Their creepy, powerful and their interest in Trinity freaks her out. And it’s only the beginning. When enemies start falling from the sky, she has no idea where to turn, or who to trust, not even her own mother.

****

Otherwise, I’ve been messing around with some fantasy art over the weekend, for a pre-made cover. As usual it’s available for purchase through Otherworlds Publicity: http://www.otherworldspublicity.com/PreMadeCovers/

Until next time!

Is It Really Tuesday?

It feels like a Thursday :)


Hey Reader,


How's life been treating you? Had a great weekend. My husband flew up, and just left this morning. Mostly we helped my dad move his office, and watched movies--including a Twilight Marathon. It's funny, because this isn't the first one we'd had (though we just bought Breaking Dawn Part I last Saturday) I always skip the second movie--so I've only seen it once before yesterday, and the one I bought was still in it's packaging. Watching it again was a trip. Of course my husband hasn't read the books, and listens to me pick apart the movies, as I declare they messed up X or Y, or improved on Z, etc. 


Otherwise, I've been working a lot for graphic design. I am finally getting back into editing Forsaken: Goddess of Pompeii, though it's slow going. I am really eager to finish this one, so I can submit to a few new publishers on my list of prospects. After that, I'm hoping to get back to The Seraph's Covenant, for "Kinsey Knight," YA fantasy. I realllllllllllllllly need to get back into writing, which I haven't done much of on a regular basis, since late last year. 


Other than working, I've been reading a whole lot of YA fantasy and paranormal. I'm glad I did. I'm seeing way too much cliches and attributes to the heroines' I am finding highly irritating--regardless of what age they may be. Yet, even with so much that grates me, I can't seem to stop reading it. Something about the plots draw me. And my poor bookcase can't handle many more!


Anyway back to the editing--and for some reason I'm feeling a blog overhaul for some reason, though it feels like I just redid the site a few months ago....


Cheers,


Kayden
