A random paranormal romance (as I was thinking of it then) among all the high fantasy, steampunk, and a single urban fantasy series. It also wasn’t going to be in a sub-genre of fantasy that I’d written in before, so I figured that might make it an even harder sell to my existing fans. With a stand-alone book… there’s none of that, unless you get lucky, and readers go check out your other stuff. With series, you can spend more than you earn from sales on advertising for Book 1 on the assumption that some readers will carry on and buy the next books. Also, it’s a big pain to actually get a stand-alone book to sell. I was deep in Death Before Dragons at the time with an idea for an epic fantasy - Dragon Gate - prodding me and wanting attention. I went as far as to order a cover for the book, but I didn’t put aside my other projects. What’s now Chapter 1 in Mind Over Magic is pretty close to how I imagined it a year ago. Because who just inherits a house without catches, right?Īnd because romances are always fun, I figured they’d hook up in the end (regular readers will know this is not new for me), but I couldn’t let that happen right away… I envisioned him leaping out at her car and trying to drive her off the property first. And the werewolf now known as Amar came along with the original idea. I actually had the idea for a woman inheriting a big rambling old house in a small town more than a year ago. What was the genesis of the story (yeah, I know, it’s super geeky to use words like genesis in every day conversation, but… you’ve read my books and know I love my words)? I thought it would be fun to do a little “behind the scenes” post to go along with the launch. Here are the links if you want to pick it up:Īnd if you haven’t read Book 1 (Mind Over Magic) yet, there’s a preview chapter on my blog here. Please check the Publication Information for more details.Spell Hound, the second novel in my new A Witch in Wolf Wood series (or Wolf Woof as the faithful sidekick Lucky calls it), is out on Amazon this weekend.
