In the fairytale kingdom of Werthing Ton Fallorian (or WTF for short), fairytale folk have gone insane. With the imps of lust and wickedness on a rampage, no one is safe.

Five Princesses, Five Dragons
A coincidence? I don’t think so.

The Quest: Save the world. With Sex… and magic? Definitely.

The Complication: Sex is deadly. Magic is broken. And nothing is going right for the traveling duo.

Captured by an evil queen, chained to a sexy he-man of incredible proportions, and forced on a quest that no sane person would take, Princess Penelope must travel the treacherous swampland of Andvari — a terrible place of twisted magic where sex and murder are forbidden.

Shane Masters, on the other hand, believes every curse has its loophole, and every rule has a bend. When their passion ignites, nothing can stop them. Not even death.

Available Now At Changeling Press

The beauty of Magic

I love playing with words and creating art with them. I took the entire WTF Dragon 1 manuscript and dumped into Wordle. It’s a word cloud creator. Body, Tasminia, Dash, Magic…The four words that sum up No Dragon, No Problem. Two people creating magic…with their bodies, their hearts, their minds. Princesses. Dragons. Dark magic and ancient spells.

Now that’s the good stuff!

There is nothing sexier than a man who knows how to make a woman shiver in delight with just a small touch.

Dash Ryan is an incredible dragon, trapped, alone and ready to break free of a 500 year spell. It takes a princess, however, to make it happen.

WTF Dragon: In the fairytale kingdom of Werthing Ton Fallorian (or WTF for short), fairytale folk have gone insane. With the imps of lust and wickedness on a rampage, no one is safe. Five Princesses, Five Dragons. A coincidence? I don’t think so.
The Motive: Princess Tasminia deSoto has had it with her stepmother’s horrid matchmaking. Tricking the princess into a surprise wedding with the narcissistic Baron Winterwood from a neighboring kingdom (of the same name) is the final straw. If only there was a dragon to be sacrificed to!

The Idea: Desperation forces her to enlist the aid of the notorious Dash Ryan, illusionist and con artist for hire. Surely the wildly entertaining (and sexy) rogue can come up with something believable. And if a princess can find a little sexual education on the side… well… that’s just a plus.

The Twist: Dash Ryan has a few secrets of his own. Secrets he’s more than willing to exploit for just a taste of the princess’s sexual awakening. But will one taste be enough?

And what about quests? We love them, don’t we? Secret magic, wilde magic. Water is the source of all life in the WTF kingdom. It, like all great things, needs protection. What happens, then, if the protector corrupts the source? All the magic in the kingdom would be swept into darkness. That can’t happen. Once Upon a Dragon, WTF Dragon book 2…available soon!

On a quest to save the world. With Sex… and Magic.

Switching it Up

With No Dragon, No Problem coming out in April, my sites have turned to penning the next book. What was going to be Every Dragon for Himself will now be Once Upon a Dragon. So why am I switching it up? I got hit between the eyes with a hilarious introduction to the princess and dragon of this story. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s a good thing I hadn’t done more than rough out the books here on the writing blog (and not in an email to my editor).

This next one is going to be just as fun as the first one.

I can’t wait! Keep Writing!

Happy Monday!

No Dragon, No Problem

There are some things that are worth the wait, my friends. I know I’ve been out of the loop, but truth-be-told, I’ve been working. On this:

No Dragon, No Problem‘s unofficial blurb and such.

One bound man. One desperate princess. A 500-year curse. And dragons? WTF may never be the same .

Blurb:

Five Princesses, Five Dragons

A coincidence? I don’t think so.

In the fairytale kingdom of Werthing Ton Fallorian (or WTF for short), fairytale folk have gone insane. With the imps of lust and wickedness on a rampage, no one is safe.

The Motive

Princess Tasminia deSoto has had it with her stepmother’s horrid matchmaking. Tricking the princess into a surpise wedding with the narcissistic Baron Winterwood from a neighboring kingdom (of the same name) is the final straw. If only there was a dragon to be sacrificed to…

The Idea

Desperation forces her to enlist the aid of the notorious Dash Ryan, illusionist and con artist for hire. Surely the wildly entertaining (and sexy) rogue can come up with something believable. And if a princess can find a little sexual education on the side…well…that’s just a plus.

The Twist

Dash Ryan has a few secrets of his own. Secrets he’s more than willing to exploit for just a taste of the Princess’s sexual awakening. But will one taste be enough?

Less than twenty-four hours after submission, my editor contacted me with a resounding YES on the novella. She opened the doc to read a few pages, and couldn’t put it down. I received edits today, and that’s a ridiculous turn-around time. So, ladies and gents, No Dragon, No Problem will be hitting your virtual shelves in late April, early May. That’s unheard of. So I’m pretty excited.

In other news, I have another book to finish by the end of the month, so I’ll be heading back underground. Looking forward to coming back up for air soon enough.

Until then…

Keep Writing!

Whirlwind

Bwahahahaha. Despite Journey’s anthem, I’m going to have to stop believing…in a week without some near-catastrophic event that sends my family into a frenzy of panic. Some days I’m the center of the storm, trying to keep everyone calm. Other days I just want to curl up in a ball and wake up four months from now when this work to writing transition is finally complete.

Did I mention that I got a TON of writing done this week (despite the odds, I might add!)?

Sunday was a no-go writing-wise. We had to shop for new school supplies since our stuff had yet to arrive (shopping in a mega-mart on Superbowl Sunday? WHY did I think that was a good idea?). Monday was a ton of paperwork, and delays on getting the kids into school. Monday night I wrote until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. So far, so good, yeah?

Tuesday. Oh Tuesday, you’re becoming my Monday. I’m starting to hate you like I hate sesame seeds when they stick in my teeth. Three appointments for three different kids, only to find out that the school district was confused about how an out-of-state school transferred discharge paperwork (Anchorage ISD faxes discharge paperwork to the next location instead of allowing the parents to hand carry). But I digress. In the middle of this adventure, I get a phone call from the moving company. Our large house shipment is here (a BED! YES!). They want to deliver tomorrow (YAY!) but don’t know if they can do a split delivery (Uh Oh!). Some phone calls need to be made, etc.

Long story short…movers will be here tomorrow delivering ONLY the stuff we need and storing it for 90 days until we can have the large stuff (like the outdoor freezer, lawnmower, etc) put in our own storage (YAY!).

You’d think this would trigger happiness. Contentment. Excitement? Nope. Complete domestic meltdown. Kids want to skip school (NO!) to stay home and (get this…) “help.”  Husband is acting like a loon b/c he has to take the kids to their schools tomorrow while I wait on the delivery peeps. The house has to be clean (come on guys! We are STILL living out of suitcases!).

Kids and husband are squabbling…and for what?

Nothing. No reason what-so-ever. Everyone is ready for this move to be over. No one more than I, I assure you. Throughout this process I’ve done my best to keep quiet. Not complaining about the folding chair and makeshift desk, or lying in sleeping bags on the floor, or the insane drive to and from Dallas for our car.

So tonight…I told them to be quiet. Stop worrying. I had it under control. They weren’t allowed to say another word about their stuff to parents or each other. There was some serious grumbling going on, but it died off after a few hours.

“After all,” I said, “It will all be over sooooon.”

With that cryptic remark, I gave a creepy, hollow laugh and stared at each of the boys, in turn. They then decided the stress had broken me, so I was left alone to write. Ah bliss.

So that leads me to my mid-week update for A Round of Words in 80 Days.

What have I worked on?

• I sent in my submission for Entangled Publishing’s pitch contest. Didn’t receive a confirmation email so I’m not sure if I should stress or not (Destitute and Undead ended at a little under 15k. Glad I rechecked the edits before hitting send. I was a little heavy handed with the commas).
• I’m 5200 words into book 1 of my WTF Dragon series (blame Kim Knox for this one. She said go crazy and let loose. It was a dare, and you know how I am about those!).
• Received my first reader review for Primal Hunger. So awesome! I got 5 stars out of 5 on the Ellora’s Cave site. So cool! Heidi said she was hoping Primal Hunger would become the start of a series. I get to say I got the green light on it, right?? LOL. So yeah, you’ll see more of the *Hunger-verse in the future.
• Tore apart A Familiar Kiss (yesterday’s post showed how that went down ). I should have that puppy to my editor by V-day.
• I’ve become a coffee time romance author! They’ve asked me to post on the blog, and I can’t wait! I’ll get all their widgets and stuff up on my site this weekend. I also set up my amazon author page. Love you guys for suggesting them for me last week!
• Final outline of Thief. I needed a different arc to make it more contemporary.

Goals for the rest of the week:

• Decompress
• Unpack
• Set up my office/bedroom
• Finish No Dragon, No Problem (WTF Dragon #1)
• Start Thief
• Try to ignore my stress over Destitute and Undead‘s submission. LOL!

I hope this post made you laugh (I know I was laughing). Reading it out loud to my family brought out some pretty awesome chuckles, so I think it’s a win with them too.

This is a BLOG HOP! Check out some other authors HERE!

*Note: the Hunger-verse is a tongue-in-cheek series name. I call it the Sheon Wars, but that’s not as lighthearted.
