New covers, stories, faeries and print editions

I finished the faerie meets cop/rancher story and I really had a lot of fun with it. I'm liking the fantasy world more and more. It ended up being a bit longer than I planned. I planned for a 80 page short and it's actually about 100 pages, 32k words. And, as I'm writing the story, people starting popping up and other stories are asking to be told. Doesn't that just figure?

So, I am probably changing the cover, and the title and this will be part of a Faerie Series, not sure what it's called yet. This is actually book 2, because Lilja's sister in the book popped up, one of those things, and her story happened before she meets Lilja....so I am going to write book 1 in February. I really want to write Book 3 though, because that is Lilja's friend who suddenly became really important....

So, from about Jan 1 to January 30, I wrote the 32k words. Did my own NaNoWriMo challenge. So I'm planning the same for February, with either Book 1 or Book 3. I'm thinking there's going to be 4 or 5 books in this series. We shall see.

Also, I'm having my Women of Character contemporary  romance (4) covers all updated. I'm very excited and using Steph's Cover Design. She does fantastic covers. Check her out. And very reasonable too!

And last but not least, I am toying with the idea of printed books. They will be available through Amazon. First book up -- with new cover, will be Echoes from the Past. Will post info when I have it. I've just learned how to format for CreateSpace, a nifty tutorial by India Drummond on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FzvtxK686c

The Women That Protect Family

I enjoy writing about women in my romances that know the importance of family. Each book begins just before a crisis or conflict occurs. The women in my stories are dealing with the traumas, heartache, fears and problems life has thrown at them. They tackle it all with integrity and strength. They don't always choose the right path or the right choices, but each action is taken from the heart, caring about those people in their lives.

Being motivated by family bonds can bring its own rewards and heartache.  Ultimately, the stories embrace family and the power of love.

The women in these series are not physically kicking ass or wielding knives, but their inner core of strength is visible in all they do. How can you not let such characters find their life long love?
