The Daydreaming Series vs. The Faultlines Series


With my new novella series, "The Daydreaming Series" jumping off in August, right after my debut novel from "The Faultlines Series" releasing, I've gotten several questions about the two series. 
I'm going to address some of those questions here! :)
What's the difference between the two? There is an enormous difference between the two series! I am always trying to challenge myself as a writer and push beyond the boundaries of my "norm". 
When Faults Collide (The Faultlines Series) is my heart and soul and while it is a love story, it is so much more. I really wanted to put a lot of messages about sexual exploitation, foster care, poverty, and other advocacy issues that I'm very passionate about. I also wanted to show this beautiful love story and how healing it can be just to love and open up to another human. I also opted to not use much as far as swear words, and I didn't want graphically sexual content to cloud the message of the book. (And I wanted my mother to be able to read it! LOL!)
Kenna's Reverie (The Daydreaming Series) is the polar opposite. It is absolutely meant to be comedy, the love story is very heavily clouded in lust, and I use a much more colorful choice of the English Language (meaning, there's a lot of swear words!). The idea for this one came to me when I told my friend that as much as I adore the "fantasy" a lot of romance offers me, it would never carry over into real life. That when you tack on children and the real world, the fantasy sort of dies. And how hilarious would it be if one of those Alpha-male personas fell in love with a single mom with a whole mess of kids. Hence, Kenna's Reverie was born. ;)


What are the differences between the heros? In When Faults Collide, you meet Blake, who is a flawed character, but is also the sweetest guy alive! (You learn way more about Blake in the 2nd Faultlines book!) Blake is respectful, well-mannered, and loves Asha with a ferocity. 
In Kenna's Reverie, you meet Jax. Jax is sort of the epitome alpha-male. My betas have called him quite swoon-worthy. I may have a little crush on Jax. ;)

Novel vs. Novella When Faults Collide is a novel. It is full length at 246 pages. The pace is steady and there's a lot of description of the characters, the setting, and the story. There are 3 books in this series, and each book is it's own story just continued from the first. 
Kenna's Reverie is a novella. It is a shortened novel (around 100 pages) that will have a slightly faster pace. There will be a total of 3 novellas in this series, all around the same length. Each novella combined will create one large story without gaps of time or breaks. 

What does a "crossover" series mean? Essentially what that means is that characters from one book appear in another, even though it's not a direct sequel. So, while I am well aware that the Daydreaming series is not going to be a great fit for all the readers of the Fautlines series, there are character's from When Faults Collide who appear in Kenna's Reverie. You could read one without ever reading the other, but for the fans of all my work, you will enjoy seeing some of your favorite characters making cameos. :)
