Looking for a new book?

First, I'd like to thank everyone, for their support. Your feedback has been encouraging, as I continue the Legends of Breena story. This third book is going to be the last book dealing with Leelah and Dogan. Don't worry though, you will still see them as the adventure continues. 

If you're looking for something to occupy your time, while you wait for book #3, listed below is some of my all-time favorite series. I was having difficulties on attaching links to the first books so I posted a picture of them instead. These authors are my inspiration and I do hope to someday have the following that they have. There's stories with dragons, fae, werewolves and other fantastical worlds. Enjoy!!

The Drakon series By: Shana Abe

For centuries they’ve lived in secret among northern England’s green and misted hills. Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary. . . .

The Green Rider series By: Kristen Britain

Taking on the golden-winged horse brooch that is the symbol of the Green Riders, Karigan is swept into a world of deadly danger and complex magic, her life forever changed. Compelled by forces she cannot understand, Karigan is accompanied by the silent specter of the fallen messenger and hounded by dark beings bent on seeing that the message, and its reluctant carrier, never reach their destination.

The Fever series By: Karen Marie Moning

MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks . . . until something extraordinary happens.

Riyria Revelations By: Michael J. Sullivan

Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater, make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles-until they are hired to pilfer a famed sword. What appears to be just a simple job finds them framed for the murder of the king and trapped in a conspiracy that uncovers a plot far greater than the mere overthrow of a tiny kingdom.

The Kitty Norville series By: Carrie Vaughn

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

The Next Stage

Guardians of Destiny is finally on to the next stage. It's going through book formatting now. To celebrate the this next step, I decided to give you a very tiny excerpt from book #2. Enjoy!

I did not train alone much with Dogan anymore, and that was a good thing because who knew what would happen to us? Just the two of us, behind closed doors...the mere thought of it sends chills throughout my body. Like I said before, I was always thinking of the kiss we shared so many months ago, and I would be lying if I said I never wanted to experience that again. I had to stop myself from touching the man, because any time we accidentally brushed up against each other, my whole body would flush with heat. The longer we kept the inevitable at bay, the worse it was going to be for us in the end. When we finally stop the fighting and join as one, it's going to be so intense, I am sure neither of us will survive.

Guardians of Destiny - Synopsis

Well, it's been a long time since I wrote on this blog and figured it was time to correct that. I've decided I would start with the back cover description. Everyday I'm a bit closer to having book 2 published. It's an exciting and busy time for me. Also, I got a glimpse of what the cover will look like and I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Book two of the Legends of Breena series.

 The exciting story continues of soulmates Leelah Bayard and Dogan Ramstien, who serve as the main guardians of King Bryce and Queen Rosa of Altecia. As they let go of the previous friction between them and become one, they complete their first step toward their destiny. Leelah is part of a group the Fae call God’s Elect. As she and Dogan, along with their royal guard companions Rowan and Sterling, discover new ways to use their powers, they learn about their heritage and the connection they have to the Fae. Prince Calum of Salvatoria arrives at Burreck Castle to ask the king for help to dethrone his brother. When Dogan, Sterling, and the majority of the royal guard leave for war, Leelah remains in Burreck City to watch over the queen. A year later, just before the men come home from the war, soldiers from Salvatoria try to kidnap Leelah. But can she get away before it’s too late?

 In a world and time where women don’t have much say in anything, Leelah proves she can work just as hard as any man, maybe even better.

Changes in Story

I read something yesterday, it read:

"A lot of times as a writer you plan things out in advance.  You know exactly where you want the story to go, and it's perfect.  And then your characters betray you.  Like belligerent toddlers they race off in opposite direction from where you wanted them to go, and the most annoying part is that it's usually better."

Guardians of the Queen and especially Leelah have changed tremendously. At first, it was planned as a stand alone novel (not a series).  Leelah didn't have powers and wasn't apart of a group that would eventually help save the world.

The characters really do get a mind of their own.  As I wrote her story, I was always surprised when a new twist or turn occurred.  After I would go over what I just wrote, I'd find myself liking it more than what I initially envisioned.  Like, Cora for instance, she sort of just popped herself into the story and I'm so happy she did!

So this all got me thinking!  Book one, and even book two has changed tremendously, so what will my ending be like?  I've realized that I have no idea and I'm completely okay with that.  I'll just continue letting my characters do what they want.  So far, it seems to be working out just fine!
