A New Story

It has been a while since I have written a blog and I don’t want to talk about writing or editing I want to have some fun. So I have decided to write a serial story, something to parallel my next book Bloody Coin.

The first thing is what is the theme going to be? Giving about 30 seconds of thought, I want it to be about shapeshifters, a new pack created from newly changed werewolves.

I start with either a concept or a strong character, as my MC is the pack, we’ll start there. There needs to be at least three, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Looking at how wolf packs work, you need this dynamic.

Usually, there is a female and male Alpha, this time I do a female Alpha, male Beta and (?) Gamma, I might add a few more members in the future, but I will keep it to this three. Make them foster kids, as I can pull something from my background into the story.

As it will be a coming of age theme to link the emergence of their therianthropy, I will say they are between the ages of 15 to 17, the gamma being the youngest, beta and alpha being the same age.

Ethnicity is important, but as these three have been raised in the foster program, their ethnicity would impact their stories/backgrounds but not their interactions with each other. I will have to think on this one.

The setting is the next step. I want a large town but make it a blank slate, could be in Australia or the US or England. There will be colloquialisms, but I don’t want it to be stereotypical of an area. Urban and Contemporary.

Conflict is the cornerstone of stories, adaption to their new forms, dealing with a new world, other supernatural powers (Could be Vampires, Sorcerers/Magi, Demonic Bad People or DBP for short or even ghosts) or other wolf packs. So many things to draw on

This Sunday I will start the story with a new addition to the story every Sunday.
