Author Update: Schemes, Dreams and Gleams

This week I returned final edits for "Flower of Life," my contribution to The Book of Sylvari: An Elf Anthology, a Tolkien-esque venture by PYP.   "Flower of Life" tells the story of Adriana, who is faced with a choice between love and duty when she accidentally enters the strange and wonderful world of Elfhame.

I attended the NCWA Writers Renewal Conference in May where I got to meet several Twitter friends as well as spend time with "old" friends. I feel privileged to belong to such a great group of writers. My post about the conference will publish in the NCWA blog in July.

I've put together sample chapters for two historical romance works-in-progress and now look forward to settling down to write one of them in full while I continue to hone DawnSinger, book one in the epic fantasy trilogy, Tales of Faeraven toward publication in the fall.

I write both fantasy and historical romance but plan occasional departures into historical fantasy, fictionalized historical biography and possibly even historical suspense, depending on the market for such offerings. I have a gleam in my eye in the form of an amazing fantasy series I can't wait to unveil. Despite its deadlines, inequalities and stresses, I love my life as a novelist and wouldn't trade it.

I hope, whatever your passion, you feel the same about your life.
