The Ending of a Trilogy
Today, I am lucky to have an amazing author and friend with me. I first met Michele Richard just before she released her first book, Mocked by Destiny, and over time, we became friends. She's written several books, but her latest is the last in her Mocked by Faith Series. Today, she's stopped by and talked with me about how she feels with the end being here.
~*~*~*~
It’s bittersweet really. I know I did the characters justice and told their story, but I’ll miss them. They’ve been a part of my life for three years. I do have a spin-off planned but it will be only one book and will stand alone from the rest. Mocked by Silence will follow one of their son’s own struggles in a not always just world.
I will openly admit to crying as I wrote and edited the last few chapters of Mocked by Faith ~ Affirming the Faith. How could I not when I was saying goodbye to two characters that had been with me since I started publishing?
Mocked by Faith was the first story I actually started writing for the TWCS writing contest. They chose to publish Mocked by Destiny first. I was fine with that since the characters from each book are not connected order of the first books released really didn’t matter to me. I was just thrilled to be sharing these novels with the world.
When my fans tell me they cried or laughed with these characters it shows I did it right. Of course they also tell me I love to torture my characters! Admittedly I do, though it’s not on purpose. I just listen to the characters and write the story as they tell me what happened.
So … with great sorrow I say goodbye to two friends who have shared their world and love with me. Justin and Alexia will forever be in heart.
Thanks for letting me stop by today!Michele Richard
