While I'm not very active blogging, I am very active writing...
And that's why I thought I would share what I'm working on this year:
Project #1: Book six in the Blood Curse Series:
BLOOD FATHER
Release Date: To Be Announced (TBA)
“May the rivers run
crimson with their blood…” ~ Kagen Silivasi.
Kagen Silivasi is a
powerful ancient vampire with a unique gift for healing – he is also a son, a
brother, and a loner who has survived unspeakable tragedy and loss: Beneath his
handsome, well-mannered exterior lies an alter ego consumed by rage and an
undefinable impulse to “kill them all…”
Arielle Nightsong is a
brave human, a rebel spirit, and an accomplished healer in her own right. Born
into a harsh world of violence, cruelty, and danger, she was enslaved at the
age of ten and given as a gift to the most depraved being in Mhier – the
infamous king of the Lycan. If not for her enduring friendship with a captive
vampire, she might not have survived to escape the slave encampment…or to
discover her ominous role in an ancient Blood Curse.
When Kagen and his
brothers journey into Mhier in search of their long lost father, it will take
more than stealth and cunning to get out alive: Secrets will be revealed;
loyalties will be tested; and long-standing defenses will fracture beneath
the weight of an impossible choice…

This may end up as a trilogy or a single title -- not yet
sure.
The premise is to create
a supernatural creature (much like a vampire) whose origins are shared with
mystical dragons -- while these fierce handsome beings look human, they are
something far more: They are deadly, supernatural, and driven by an internal
fire…the need to feed. As always, they have dark, animistic instincts.
Release Date: To Be
Announced (TBA)
Prologue
In a land as ancient as
time itself, there were those who were born to protect the Realm, to rule over
commoners, shadow walkers, and warlocks alike, and those who were born to serve
the rulers with blind obedience. The former carried the primordial blood of the
Dragon in their veins; the latter bore the burden of a dragon’s desires—hunger,
fire lust, and passion—on their shoulders.
It was a sacred
duty.
An elemental obligation.
They were chosen
females, taken from their homes at the tender age of ten, reared by strangers
at the Keep, and trained to serve, obey, and feed their masters in order to keep the
dragons strong.
A select few, the
Sklavos Ahavi, were chosen for an even greater purpose: to bear the future sons
of a dragon’s line. To wed the ferocious beings who were so deceptively human
in outer form, yet primal, dark, and wild at the core.
The Ahavi were servants
who belonged to their dragon lords.
The shadow walkers and
warlocks were reluctant subjects who resented their dominant masters.
The commoners were
humans who lived in fear of all that inhabited the Realm.
And the dragons…
Well, they were a species apart--and above--all others.
