Wings Of Hope Released! (& Why I Had To Write It)

The novella Wings Of Hope existed only in my head while writing Beyond The Veil and Devil May Care. The Veil Series books were always going to be about Muse's future, BUT as the series progressed readers cried out to know more. How did Muse meet Akil? How did she escape the netherworld? What was she like as demon? I couldn't gloss over these events, and didn't want to bog down the fast pace of The Veil Series books by including flashbacks (urgh!) so a prequel was the only way to get Muse's backstory out there.

Well, I set out to answer those questions, and believe me, it was the most difficult book to write in The Veil series to date. Getting inside the young Muse's head was hard enough, but add to that the fact she's demon... How does one write from a demon's point of view? Plus, she comes from a position of abuse, of degradation, and is a very different person to the feisty, confident, Muse we see in Boston in Beyond The Veil. Writing the demon-Muse was an uncomfortable experience, and not one I'd wish to experience again any time soon!

But, there is hope, and that is exactly what keeps her going.

So, the novella Wings Of Hope is now officially 'out there' to fend for itself. I'm sure you'll discover some things you didn't know about Muse (and Akil!). And to anyone joining the Veil Series anew, I promise it does get lighter!
