Teaser Tuesday: Battling the Unseen

Here’s part of one of my favorite battles in Quest of the Brokenhearted.  Coming up with fun and unique fights for Kira Grasdon was a challenge.  Thankfully, monsters have a lot of versatility if you don’t stick to the traditionals.

There were two versions of Savagery when I was outlining.  One had the big villain showing up once per book before it being 18-19 chapters of brutal battling.  The other was what I used instead, which turned into a deviation from Clyde’s … Continue reading

Questions 3 and Looking Back at ‘Crossing Bedlam’

Questions 3 and Looking Back at ‘The Spirit Well’

This book finished the champion power center arc of Legends of Windemere.  It was a tough one to write too because I needed closure and setting up the final arc.  Those types of books always make my head spin, which leads … Continue reading
