Just Broke Ground on Final Prince Book
Last week, I began THE JACKAL PRINCE, Book V of my Desert Princes. Finishing this series will be bittersweet for me, but wow has it been a fun ride. I've been telling people the princes are like CRACK! Because one you start 'em, you ain't never goin' back!
Apparently, that is true for writing the books as well. LOL I started VIPER last year ('09) but shelved it after I started having my wrist issues. In April, I decided to finish the book. Finished it in two weeks. May, I wrote SCARAB. June/July I wrote FALCON. July/August were the months of the SPIDER. Now, I'm thinking August/Sept. I'll be wrapping up JACKAL. I just cannot believe how fast these books have been written. I decided to keep going with them as long as I was in the mood to write them. I didn't want to get sidetracked by some other project and then never get back to the princes or not be motivated to write them, which happens after you abandon a series for awhile **cough**BEAST**cough
LOL
Anyway, I thought I would blog and let one and all know. I have posted SPIDER's logline and blurb if you're interested. I've also submitted SPIDER to the powers that be. I have plotted out JACKAL, so we shall see how it pans out. Exciting!

TOMORROW!!
Tomorrow, folks, you'll be able to visit the sweeping desert vistas of Jikkar, eat delectable bractav, and fall in love with THE VIPER PRINCE...
Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow, August 18th from Carnal Passions!!!
Also, I have finished THE SPIDER PRINCE. I'm sooo jazzed for this book, you have no idea. My two favorite princes are the Scarab and the Spider. I honestly cannot decide which I like better. Now, I need to write a logline, a blurb, and a synopsis for Spider before jumping in to THE JACKAL PRINCE!!
Carnal Passions has also bought Book III, THE FALCON PRINCE! It will be released in December. Looks like these books will be released every two months - Viper in August - Scarab in October - Falcon in December. So perhaps you will read Spider in February. We shall see... :D

I Can't Share Them Yet, But...
...I got the cover mock-ups for both THE VIPER PRINCE and THE SCARAB PRINCE today! They're so BEAUTIFUL!! I was jumping out of my chair when I saw them. It won't be too much longer until I can share them with you, so be on the lookout.
Just let it be known that this series is going to RAWK the CASBAH!!! I can't wait to share it with you. And with covers like these, holy moly, it's going to sell like hot flatbread straight from the kitchen carav!
LOL

Update on SPIDER and a Decision
Well, THE SPIDER PRINCE is coming right along. I'm on page 178 and loving every minute of it. I think this one should be done fairly soon, if not by the end of the month.
I've also made a decision. Early on, I'd decided to only write four books in this series. I think I will actually write five. The final book will be for the Jackal. I figured people might wonder why I wasn't going to write his book. Well, it's because he's a young prince, coming to the throne when he's about 15, so to write his book, I'll have to age him, obviously. But it might be fun to see the other princes years after their HEA's and meet their families.
It would be odd to leave a perfectly good prince out of the series, so I'm not going to do it. Besides, it will give me something to look forward to after I write the Spider.
I really love this world I've created, probably more than any other worlds of my imagination. I love that each book brings it's own flavor to the table, even though it's still on Jikkar. And I'm not sure I want to be done with it after I write my princes. But what would I write??
I don't know. I know each tent city has a governor. It's possible I could write about them, but the titles wouldn't be as cool. THE PARRADH GOVERNOR... :P
Maybe I'll just leave the desert to the princes and call it a day. It will be bittersweet for me. I will LOVE to share them with you but hate to leave Jikkar behind. Perhaps I'll start a new series on this planet... The Goat Herders of Jikkar... LOL Just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? :P *snicker*
We shall see.
