FALCON is on a Roll!

As you may or may not know, I have finished the first two books of this four book (possibly five book) series, VIPER and SCARAB. Now, I'm working on book III, THE FALCON PRINCE, and I'm on page 170 and 31K. These books are between 50-55K, so I'm bookin' to get it done.

FALCON is probably my most un-plotted of the bunch. I knew VIPER & SCARAB's plot, and I knew SPIDER's plot (book IV), but FALCON was a little hazy. I brainstormed his plot a bit about a week ago (when I was significantly further behind than I am now), but I decided to do something a little different, so I changed it from my original plan.

Seems to be working great because I'm booking through this book. In VIPER & SCARAB, I kind of got a free pass, because from word one, the hero and heroine knew each other and had a history. In FALCON, they know of each other, and they want to get to know each other better, but this is the first book where they actually learn what they like and what they don't like. Basically, the first book of the series that deals with falling in love from a spark of interest.

Don't get me wrong, the other books are hot and heavy, and you see their love evolve as well, but FALCON's story is more poignant. There's a lot of trust issues and baggage. Which in real life, is quite the pain, but makes for a good read. LOL So I'm hoping you'll like book III in this series just as much as the first two.

Now, VIPER is set to release on August 4th. SCARAB has been submitted, but I don't have a release date for that one (and not even a contract). I'm thinking it might be awhile until you get a chance to read FALCON and SPIDER. But let me tell you, all these books are so epically awesome, you don't even know. I have never written books this fast.

Well, let me rephrase that.

I have never written a series this fast before. Usually in a series, I finish one book and do another project to revamp my muse then move on to the second book and so on. Well, with this series, my muse has decided to write it all as if it were one long book. That is not to say you can't read these books on their own. You totally can. You'll get the big picture if you read them all (obviously) but they're their own contained stories.

Maybe it's the fact I'm having my surgery soon (July 16th) on my wrist. Just in case things go from bad to worse, I want to have these books behind me. As it is, I'll be working on SPIDER's book when my surgery comes, because let's face it, I'm writing FALCON so fast, it will be done in 4 weeks' time. I'll probably be a few thousand words into book IV by then. I started FALCON exactly two weeks ago. So yeah, another two weeks and it will be finished as well.

Very First Post!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my brand new blog, about the Desert Princes of Jikkar, my new series! These books follow four of the six princes in the Golden Desert.

The Viper Prince
The Scarab Prince
The Falcon Prince
The Spider Prince

Two of the princes are bad news. They are villains on Jikkar, and they are the Jackal Prince and the Cobra Prince.

I have written and finished both Viper and Scarab's books. Viper has been contracted by Carnal Passions! It is to be released on August 4th, 2010!! Scarab has been submitted, and I am currently almost 100 pages into Falcon. This series is hoppin', but I'm going to keep on writing for as long as the muse moves me.

I just love this series, it is so different and exotic than anything I have ever done, and writing them is a pure joy. I hope my joy is conveyed in the books, because I want my readers to love them just as much as I do!

Keep checking back, I'm hoping to update this blog often. Woohoo!!
