The story keeps marching on

Just a short update today. Hermia in Love has made it's debut on Amazon.com and smashwords.com. I like that this book's main characters are a little more - hmm, having trouble thinking of the right word - sweet, I guess. It's fun to see how Chrysaor and Desma interact with each other and this book pushes the overall plot along to prepare for the last book in the series. It had to happen sometime and I'm getting excited for how things are going to end. There are even plans for two novellas - or maybe novels - about some of the characters that hover in the background.

While thinking about the series today, I thought back to the beginning and created a new page on the site for how the story began - it includes information about Desma's book which I'm already writing.

Hermia, Hermia, Hermia

Hmm. I wonder what is on my mind. It my be the fact that I just completed the first draft of Hermia in Love and I'm super excited about it. This weekend the words just kept flowing and I was able to write almost twenty thousand words over three days. Ideas and twists that I just didn't know were going to happen kept escaping from my brain and ended up making a really good story to lead into the last one. Of course I may be a little biased. I don't have much more to write right now. I'm going to take a few days to edit, wait for beta reader feedback and work on a synopsis. Then I'll be ready for the fun proofreading process. I do have a cover to share, but I'm still thinking about it. I have another version and I may throw darts to decide on the one I like best.
