Since Feathered Lover was published last month, I’ve been wracking my brain over what story to write next.

I always said that if there was enough interest in Feathered that I’d love to write a sequel and explore Zan’s world further. But I can’t wait — I want to write it, right now. 🙂

So that’s what I’m doing. The ideas keep coming too, and I’ve got an idea for a possible third book as well.

I’ve started brainstorming story ideas and writing them down in my journal so the process is underway.

I expect that I could get it out around June although since I haven’t actually started writing yet, I’m not actually sure of dates. But it should be around then, give or take a month.

I do know what the cover will be though (but not the title yet), because my cover designer had done different mockups for Feathered, that I nearly chose (and was disappointed I couldn’t have more than one cover) but now I’ll be able to use for Book 2 – yah, win!

My goal for the story is to explore Ruby & Zan’s relationship further and also give Zan a bigger role in the book (in the first he was really just Ruby’s love interest, but now he deserves equal billing as he’s an equal partner in the relationship).

Obviously it makes sense that they are both going to fight for the rights to be accepted in society as well as experience some of their own relationship troubles (come on, it can’t be happy happy the whole book – we need some drama – lol).

I’ll also include a few new characters, as well as keeping most of the old ones too.

I’m so excited  to delve further in the world of the Volante and see more of the mysterious race.

Happy reading!

The Feathered Lover is LIVE – YAY!!

It’s now up at Amazon & Kobo.

It should also be live at Apple iTunes and Barnes & Noble in a few weeks (I can’t go direct with them, so it takes longer).

Of course now I’m having author jitters. Is it good enough? What if I uploaded the wrong file? Perhaps there isn’t enough sex in it? Does any one care? *writerly angst*

I think I’ll take a nap, so I can start breathing again.

Hope you like it!

I’ve finished the third (and hopefully final) draft and now the manuscript has been sent to my copy editor. She fixes up all my sloppy grammar and typos so I can publish a clean book for you. 😉

I can probably tell you a bit more about it now. The working title is The Feathered Lover.

I haven’t written a blurb yet, but a quick summary:

Set in 1943. Ruby Kelly spies three men who have captured one of the illegal Volante (men with wings). Unable to get the scene out of her mind, she creeps to where it is being held.

When the men find out she has seen it and confront her, the police are called and she has to free the Volante before it’s found by the law. After her father is arrested, she must hide from both the police and the men trying to get the Volante back.

And she kinda thinks the Volante’s hot (and yes the feeling is mutual). So of course, there are sex scenes. Four of them in fact 😉

Paranormal romance, with a man with wings. Set in sexy 1943. I love fiction.

The romance novel that I started in November, is now ready to enter second draft stage.  That means I get to go through all the raw and wonderful (and not so wonderful) words that I wrote and shape them into something resembling a book.

I like this stage because you begin to see how good your story can be.  Sure there will still be scenes I need to cut, more scenes I need to write, and others I’ll be scratching my head over wondering what on earth I can do to fix it, but overall I find this part exciting, as its potential is starting to shine through.

I haven’t touched the story since I did the first draft in November so it’ll be interesting to get stuck back in today and see what needs to be done.  From memory, I know that the sex scenes will need some work, the ending is a bit flat (so I’ll need to spice it up), and I want to develop the male love interest further, but overall I really like this story.

I don’t know when it’ll be finished.  Certainly not this month.  I’m going to try to aim for March but if I can get stuck in (and the kids give me ample time to write, even though that’s unlikely since it’s school holidays) then it’s possible that I could get it done by the end of February.  We’ll see.

What’s it about? I’m sure I’ve told you already haven’t I? I haven’t? Oh dear.  I really need to stop being so coy.  wing wink.  (deliberate spelling mistake, hehe, shhhh).
