History of Road to Revenge

8/5/21

Road to Revenge is one of my earliest stories, and it’s also one of my very few contemporary books.  Back when I was originally writing it, I had just finished living in Israel for a year.  I was lucky that I hadn’t experienced anything like what I put Rafi and Mihi through in their first book, but I based most of their plot lines on real events from stories I had heard and the emotions of the people I was around that entire year.  Road to Revenge is a crime thriller, a detective no...

New Books and More Editing

7/17/21

Coven, the first book in my Witch’s Circle series, was accepted for publishing at NSP!  We haven’t officially signed the contract, but I’m super excited.  By the time Coven is released (best guesstimate is the end of 2022), I will be done with reprints.  I can’t wait to return to a more normal writing and publishing schedule, and Coven is the first step in that process.

Hunter, the second book in the series, is also completely written.  I was in the process of giving it one last e...

Book Updates

7/1/21

The past few months have been crazy with book releases.  One after another, until I could barely keep up with my promotional posts.  I finally have a bit of a break, so instead I want to let you know about everything else I’ve been working on.

Editing:

I can’t believe how much editing I’ve gotten done.  We’re well past the halfway mark for getting all my books re-released, and we’re also finally getting to some of my older stories.  As you saw last month, Finding the Wolf, my OG book,...

History of Finding the Wolf

6/13/21

I mentioned this in the cover reveal for Finding the Wolf, but this story is literally the start of my writing career.  Finding the Wolf is the first story I ever finished writing, the first story I submitted to a publisher, my first accepted manuscript, and my first published book.  If you’ve ever wondered why I became known for my dragons, magic, and romance, this book, and this series, is it.

Finding the Wolf started as a faint idea of a dragon who had a lovely hoard, but who re...

History of The Coup and the Prince

5/16/21

The Coup and the Prince is one of those books that just randomly happened.  No planning occurred prior to my starting to write it, rather I instead had this crazy thought: what if one of my characters swears a lot and is a bit crude?  Longtime readers know my characters don’t tend to speak like that.  Sometimes that’s because the book is YA or the characters are younger, sometimes it’s because the characters simply never learned to swear.  Not that I have anything against people wh...
