Endings—and Beginnings

[image error]Okay, it’s finished. There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but I have finished Chosen at Nightfall, the final book in my Shadow Falls series. Let me tell you, Kylie gets herself in a whole heap of trouble, and I wasn’t sure how or if she was going to get herself out of it. But, smart girl that she is, she surprised me and came out the other side. However, everything has a cost, and this was no exception. As for the choice between Derek or Lucas, it was tough, and someone gets their heart broken. I can’t say who because my editor would kill me. And besides, as I have said before, I’m no spoiler.

What I can tell you is this. In this last trek of her journey she finds a new enemy, deals with a spirit who has blood on her hands. And she is presented with something from the death angels, and in the end, she discovers that anything is possible.

It was very emotional to write “The End” and say goodbye to Kylie, Lucas, Derek, Miranda, Della, Holiday, Burnett, Perry, and the others. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and Kylie had finally completed her journey. I cried—a lot, not just at the end, but throughout the book. I also laughed, too, and I hope you will as well. So, even though it will be a while until Chosen at Nightfall is released, it is now finished and in the hands of my publisher. I will post a countdown on my website Home page, soon.

What’s next for me? Well, did I mention I already have a contract for another series with St. Martins? I can’t give out a whole lot of details just yet. Oh, boy, I’m keeping all kinds of secrets, aren’t I? Sorry.  However, I can say that I think you will find all the things you love about Shadow Falls in the new series: a unique paranormal world, characters you can easily fall in love with, a book about friendships and family, hot guys, lots of emotion, and tons of laughter. I had a blast writing the proposal and I can’t wait to get started on it. So keep checking my blog because I will be able to tell you more as I get into this next series.
