Well, I’ve returned from my birthday trip to Tokyo and it’s about time I updated my blog again. I get so behind with everything these days. It all seems to take longer than you expect!
You may remember from my last post that I was writing a Sci-Fi romance, my first foray into this new territory. It was only supposed to be a short story, and it has remained as one, but it did manage to give birth to/spawn a series. You see, the hero in the story is a Son of Lyra, the royal bloodline that rules the Lyra system and a good quantity of the universe. Well, when I mentioned in the story that Captain Lyra III is the last of the four infamously handsome Sons of Lyra to get married, my muse perked up. He now wants me to write the stories of how the other three stunning and perfect examples of male beauty and strength were caught by their respective wives.
Since I started work again on Tuesday of this week, I’ve finished the first story (Captain Lyra III’s, although I’ve since decided to add more to it), and I’ve started and finished the second story (Captain Lyra II’s) and have began writing the third story (Captain Lyra I). The order in which they would be released isn’t dictated by my writing order of their position within the family heirarchy of brothers. It’s, of course, dictated by their order of marriage. Yes, this means that the first story I wrote will be the last to be released. Typical of me to write backwards!
So, what can you look forward to in the Sons of Lyra series?
First up will by Captain Lyra II’s story, since he started the whole sordid marriage affair! The second will be Heir Prince Lyra I’s story, since I think the poor guy needs to get off-planet, escape the clutches of his demanding parents, and find himself a woman to love rather than be lumbered with an arrange marriage. The third story belongs to the youngest of the brothers, Lyra IV, who is in training to become a captain like his next two eldest brothers. The fourth belongs to the darling and dashing Captain Lyra III… who is suffering a similar fate to his eldest brother as his parents have arranged a marriage for him, even though he’s in love with someone else… it’s his own fault for being too damn chicken to act on his feelings.
All have risque moments and all have that glorious HEA. I’m really enjoying writing these, though it means finishing Of Blood & Snow has been put on the backburner a touch. For those fans of Of Blood & Snow that are reading this–don’t fear! I have a few chapters in my store that I can post before I run out and have to write damn fast to satisfy your voracious hunger for the story!!
I’m really hoping that any readers I have will enjoy these little sci-fi romance snaps. They’re all going to be short, under 15000 mostly, but they’ll make good reads, honest 🙂
Now I have another million things to update so best get on with it!
