On life, the universe, and coffee.
Oh yeah, and books... |
Hello there (again)!
So, clearly, I'm terrible at regular posting. One glance at the dates of my archived posts should prove that. Hell, I didn't even blog about my release in November of 2018! **facepalm** Of course, I blame all of this on two toddlers, my position on the preschool executive board, and working part time, all while trying to keep the household running -- and not my own terrible time management and amazing ability to procrastinate, lol. With all that in mind, one of my amazing Evernight cohorts and talented writer Dania Voss saw a listing for a weekly blog challenge and thought it would be fun for a bunch of us to all post, using a group hashtag of #evernighties and this awesome graphic that Katherine Wyvern created. We'll be posting to our own blogs, the Evernight Reader's group on facebook, and on whatever other social media outlets we want to include. So naturally I jumped on the bandwagon, because something like this might just be the kick in the rear that I need to get better at this self-promotion stuff. ;) WEEK ONE: My favorite thing that I've written (and why) This is not an easy choice, honestly, despite the short list of published material. The reason for that is the massive amount of works-in-progress sitting on my laptop, and my current foray into the world of fanfic. If I had to pick a favorite, first and foremost Cassie from Alpha Bitch comes to mind. I loved writing that book. When I think of her, I hear the quote "though she be but little, she is fierce". Also, at the time, the song "Exes and Ohs" by Elle King was big, and I listened to her stuff pretty much nonstop while writing. Add that with the concept of a single female Alpha leading a wolf pack, in her twenties, and you get one feisty little woman who doesn't take shit from anyone -- including the Alpha Council and the other packs in their neck of the woods -- but is still genuinely caring and nurturing, a natural leader. She's strong, without having an agenda or something to prove. She just wants to live life on her terms, not some outdated mode of patriarchal thinking that says males run the packs and women sit quietly by. When I wrote Alpha Bitch, I'd intended for it to be a stand-alone, but a year or so later, I had an idea for another book set in that world (which was Alpha's Beta), and I've nearly completed the third book in the series now -- which is significantly longer than the first two. Cassie makes appearances in both of the other books in the series, mostly because I can't shut her up. She's far more influential in her world than she let on at first, so this third book has been interesting, to say the least. :)
