Okay, I originally intended to title this post “Story Status” but as I’m talking about the status of multiple stories, I began to wonder if the correct title would be “Stories Status”, “Story Statuses” or “Stories Statuses”. That then led me to wonder about whether or not “statuses” was the correct plural form of status, which then led me off to a bit of online research, and by that time I figured to hell with it. ”Stories” it is.
I realized that, despite creating a blog intended to act as a bit of marketing light, I’ve talked about my manuscripts but never actually described the stories themselves. Rather silly of me. So, here’s a quick overview of my completed manuscripts:
BEAR (“Fall of Sanctuary” series, Book 1)- Braun is the leader of the Osirians, an elite military force assigned to protect Sanctuary and the immortal Blesseds who rule. Aliza, his second-in-command, chafes beneath that rule though her reasons for her fierce-burning hatred of the Blesseds are too painful to share. But when Braun’s brother defects to the Outside and threatens all of Sanctuary, Braun and Aliza must rely on each other and the love that grows between them as they search for the answers that will forever change their world.
TENTUK (“Padeia” trilogy, Book 1)- Andra is a single mother struggling to raise her young daughter in a society where women are not allowed to earn money or own property, so when Tentuk, heir to the Padeian throne, decides that her child should be educated as a lady of the Court, Andra refuses to give her up. And while the stern, guarded Tentuk is not use to people telling him no, he finds himself comprising with the fiery-tempered Andra, drawn by her passion and determination to live her life by her own rules. But the threat of civil war must force Tentuk to choose between the love he found and the empire he was born to rule.
PYNIMY (“Padeia” trilogy, Book 2)- For the past decade, Pynimy has had to disguise herself as a boy to receive an education. Now, with the law against women working long lifted and the opportunity to rediscover the woman she’s never been, she returns to the capital to try and exorcise the past that first forced her into hiding and forever changed her name. But there are those who’d recognize the spirited child she’d been, including the charming political radical, Vix, who’s enchanted by the mysterious woman who looks somehow familiar, and the father she can never claim again.
CAROLINA NORTH – Wanting nothing more than to blend into her wallpaper kind of life, Carolina finds herself always fixing everyone’s problems. But when her flaky older sister, Lila, leaves her boyfriend–again–and moves in, Carolina finds herself unable to control the chaos. As the stress grows, so does the interest of Jake Peterson, junior partner of the law firm where she works, who’s intrigued by the woman he sees beneath the cracks of Carolina’s protective shell. Can she survive being the third wheel of bad blind date, a faux wedding, and a bird named Monkey without losing her sanity, or will Carolina North finally have to learn how to say “No”?
That’s it for the completed stuff.
