Weekly Notes, June 2, 2014
Straight from the desk of Alice Brown & Lady V: 
So, who's ready for the beach this year? We have already been once, but the water is still a bit too cold to do any swimming. We did get to watch a storm build out over the water and move inland. I have always found that fascinating!
We are marching forward with Ivormantis, Dragons of Dragonose 3 and have been able to make some very good headway into this book. We are hoping to have this book finished and turned in for editing by June 20.
Lady V is also working on My Beloved Werewolf, which is the first book in a brand new series we hope to launch in September, 2014. And once I finish with Ivormantis, I will be starting on Up in Smoke, Texas Vampire Rangers 2.
Another camping trip down down at the beach is currently scheduled for next weekend, in hopes that it will be another productive writing session for us. More details on that later.
Here are a few snippets from our work this week on Ivormantis:
Featured Author: Jessica Anderson
We are starting something new this week here on the blog. We are featuring an author of the week each week. This week we will be interviewing and finding out more about Jessica Anderson.
Jessica, thank you for joining us here today. Tell us a little about yourself, about your personal life.
Well I am married with two kids, I live in a quiet peaceful town, I have a jolly roger hanging up in my writing cave. I love Classic rock and believe I should have been born in the 80’s.
How long have you been writing?
I have actually been writing since I was a kid, my uncle has a book that I wrote him when I was like five or six
What drove you to writing?
Not really sure it’s just something I have always wanted to do
.
What do you feel the most comfortable writing? (Shifter, Mystery, Cowboy, etc.)
Pirates and fantasy
What are the best times for you to write?
Just as soon as the ideas pop in my head
When you are not writing, what do you enjoy doing?
Reading, listening to music, dancing and going for walks with the kids
You've got a new book that has recently come out. Can you tell us a little about it?
This is book three of the Rise of the Royal Elven:
Shyria had spent most of her life in hiding, since before she could remember. When the woman who raised her passes away, her whole world changes. With the truth of her upbringing being told from a dying woman's memory, she embarks on a journey to take back to where it all began.Faeron lived a complicated yet somehow simple life, until he found a woman in the woods left for dead. Being a kind man, he helps her and saves her life. When he finds out who she really is, he is filled with hope and joins in her quest.
A kingdom in despair hope is renewed when their lost queen surfaces to fight for her rightful place. However, will the cost of taking the throne back be more than she is willing to give?
Excerpt:
Shyria woke to a dark room. She let her eyes adjust and started looking around as she lay perfectly still. She tried to sit up but a sharp pain shot through her stomach, halting the act. She felt for her mask, making sure it was still covering her face.
“Oh, you’re awake,” a woman said as she walked into the room smiling.
She had pure white hair and bright blue eyes. Tears started to form in Shyria’s eyes as she realized she looked like Marrialli, exactly like her, except maybe a little bit younger.
“My son has been so worried about you,” she said as she checked Shyria’s bandages. “He’ll be glad to hear you have finally awoken.”
“Where am I?” Shyria asked, still dazed from the blow to her head.
“Oh I am sorry, dear,” the woman said. “Don’t worry, we are in the mountains. My name is Neinna,” she added. “You’ll be safe here with us.”
“Thank you, Neinna,” Shyria replied.
“Do you have a name?” Neinna questioned.
“Yes, but I’m sorry I can’t tell you,” Shyria answered regrettably.
“That’s fine, dear. I will send my son in when he gets back,” she returned and left the room.
Moments later a man walked through the bedroom door. He stood fairly tall, at least a half a foot taller than Shyria, he had long black hair pulled back into a braid. He was muscular, and he had a kind face, he looked young, about Shyria’s age, but his eyes shined purple, such a bright beautiful, alluring color of purple. His eyes were the same color as the lilacs she and Marrialli grew all the time.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
Shyria’s eyes darted away from him then. She knew that voice, it was the voice that saved her in the woods. Her breath grew heavy in her chest as the memories started to come back to her.
“Are you alright?” he questioned as he walked over to her quickly and put his hand on hers.
She glanced down at his hand then back up to his eyes. “Yes, thank you. You saved me.”
“I was glad to but I’m not sure if I showed up in time to save all of you,” he returned.
“You did, they hadn’t gotten to, well… You know,” she started, unsure how to finish that sentence, then realized he could probably guess.
“That makes me feel a lot better,” he said, smiling attractively. “Why were you out there alone, everyone knows that Eloana’s men are killing every red-haired elven woman they come across?”
“I was looking for someone,” she answered. “I know it was foolish.”
“It was very foolish, but who were you looking for?” Faeron asked.
“I can’t remember,” she answered as she glanced down at the ground.
“You got hit over the head pretty hard, temporary memory loss can be expected,” he answered. “Do you remember your name?”
“Yes, but I can’t tell you,” she answered. “You cannot know anything about me. It could put both of us in danger.”
“Faeron!” Neinna hollered from another room.
“Your name is Faeron?” Shyria asked.
“Yes,” he answered, smiling.
“That’s a nice name,” she said, returning his smile.
“Thank you,” he said chuckling a bit at the hurt woman who seemed way too polite.
“Faeron!” Neinna hollered again.
“I’ll be back in a minute,” Faeron said as he left the room quickly.
Faeron came back in a few minutes later with a couple of cups, a pitcher, some bread, a couple of bowls with spoons, and a smaller cup all packed onto a tray. “Would you like some company for dinner?” he asked as he sat the tray down on the stand that was next to the bed Shyria was laying on.
“That would be nice,” she answered with a smile as she tried to sit up. Faeron helped her when he saw that she was struggling.
He pulled a chair over by the bed and split the bread in half, then he handed her a bowl of food. She took a bite quickly, then scarfed down the food although Faeron still finished eating before she had. It reminded her of the food Marrialli cooked.
