So here it is, the last day of September. Fall is beginning to kiss the air here in Northwestern, NJ. Soon the trees will turn colors and the beautiful fall foliage will paint the landscape in oranges, yellows and reds.
I love fall.
I hate what comes after, but I love the fall. Hayrides, corn mazes, Halloween. I wrote a little love story, about the beginning of a romance between a man of some means from the city, and a country farmer who owns almost the entire county--if not the town--he lives in. It's set in the days surrounding Halloween and the first week in November. I'm seriously thinking about letting someone do a quick edit on it and putting it up for sale on Amazon. It's a sweet story, no sex, only first kisses, but I think when a relationship is building, that's all you need. If this is successful, I might be persuaded to keep going with their stories and do one for the rest of the holidays. We'll see.
There is also the finishing up on His Master's Summons. Only have the last maybe 10K to go on that story then it's to the second draft for me. I love this story, though I've kind of fought with it in places. However, I don't believe I'm going to write the series straight through this time. There will be a break in between each book. Between His Master's Summons and His Master's Control will be a book set in the Prohibition Era that will contain no paranormal elements. I think I need that break to contemplate where the series is going and how best to tell Nikoli's story.
*taps lip* What else?
Hmm. I'll need one to go between His Master's Control and His Master's Touch - if you have any ideas what you'd like to see me write give me a shout out.
Until next time...happy reading.

For now, enjoy!

Wow Has it Really Been that Long?
I am such a bad blogger, I should have all my blogging privileges revoked. Seriously! I am so not good at this. Not because I lack things to say --anyone who knows me also knows I'm very opinionated and never lack for words--but because I simply don't take the time to write on the blogs as I should.
I'm an author.
No great surprise or revelation there, but I also work in the healthcare industry so my time is not always my own. In addition to the days I work, I have other responsibilities that require me to sometimes make the 45 minute commute to the hospital in order to see to these obligations. (Lately it's been appointments for an on the job injury and re-certifications.) The time I spend writing my novels, short stories and novella is very precious to me. Yes, I'm even very protective and jealous of the time I take away from it to do other things. Including blogging. So when I do blog, I have a lot of things to catch up on.
1) Taste of Air - the second book in the Alchemists and Elementals series is out and available for purchase. Hurray!
2) Kiss of Death - book three is at DSP awaiting evaluation.
3) I've contracted Hot Water - a hotter book (as the name suggests) that is due to release in the fall. Waiting on a cover for it and to start edits. (Edits are due to start soon, so keep posted.)
4) Working on a new series titled Azgarth's Chosen, the first book is His Master's Summons. It's an amalgamation of Mary Shelley, the Bronte sisters, fairy tales and lore, set against the backdrop of Victorian Society. It's quite the project and book one has been, well, let's say it's been a roller coaster ride for me. I never know what these characters are going to do next. Take for instance the fae aspect of the book...never saw that coming in the outline. However, being the writer I am, I went with it. Why not? It's different. And I like different.
5) A Prohibition Era historical. This will have no magic or fae to it. It will be based in historical fact from the time period as I've been doing a lot of research and haven't yet even began to put fingers to keyboard to do more than build the Scrivener file.
This is not even taking into account all the projects for my other names. *sigh* I'm tiring myself out just looking at all the work. LOL.
But for now. Here's some eye candy for your viewing pleasure.
Have a great day, and happy reading,
Cassie
