I'm Back

It's a new year and though I did go down to Florida for the Christmas holiday, I feel as though I have been gone longer than 10 days. It's a new year and I have some news......soon some lovely portraits will grace this page. Portraits of my vampires: Christian, Michel, Gabrielle and Gaetan...as well as portraits of Solange, Josette and Sabin. Who are these people you ask? They are the living, breathing mortals and vampires who inhabit the pages of my novel Immortal Obsession.

These portraits were done by a wonderful graphic artist. I can't share much about her now, but I think the proof is in her work. I hope you agree. Presently, I am working on the second novel in this trilogy. I cannot reveal the title of this work, nor the title of the trilogy, but I am truly enjoying it. My tale seems to have a mind of its own and I feel like I am merely the recorder of the story. It's magical at times.

As those of you who stop by regularly know, I am waiting to hear from various agents regarding Immortal Obsession. I keep my fingers crossed that one of them will have the good instinct to take a chance on me. I am anxious to get my books out there to you all.

Back at Square One

Recently I blogged about an agent who was interested in a partial (50 pages) read of Immortal Obsession. While I was excited about it I am also a realist. While I consider Immortal Obsession a paranormal romance, it is erotic and dark. I tend to like to read novels that portray the struggles of characters, whether they are humans or vampires. Too much romance and fluff negates the respect and the fear we should have for this supernatural being. The last thing I want to do as a writer is contribute to the homogenization of this archetype.

So, I am back at square one, having queried more agents in the hopes that someone will want to read more than just my query letter. Perhaps an agent will want to take a chance on me and my world of beautiful seductive vampires with their power struggles, love triangles, lust and betrayals. It is also a world full of morality and hope, not unlike ours.

My muse leans over my shoulder and whispers "just write" and so I do and book two in my vampire series unfolds.
