A lovely reader emailed me yesterday asking all manner of questions about the Vampires Realm series. I was thrilled to have someone ask me about River and Ineru, and whether they would ever have their story written. I have notes for it, as I do for quite a few Vampires Realm series stories, but it wasn’t actually on my list of stories to write soon.
She also asked about Hyperion and whether he would have his own love, and his own story too. He does have his own love, a true love that he has never forgotten since meeting and then leaving her. She’s mentioned in Winter’s Kiss. He only mentions her by whispering her name – Sakura.
The reader got me thinking about the series last night and what stories I have notes for and want to write for it. There’s a few novels to write, and I have some novellas. The novellas mainly introduce new characters into the Vampires Realm series. The novels deal with the stories of those characters we have already met in previous stories, or have heard about. I’m sure I’ll manage to somehow bring more stories to life via these stories too, dropping hints at things to come and such. There’s definitely some of that in Midnight.
So now I’m thinking about Vampires Realm and I really want to get writing the next vampire romance in this series. This is either because I’m rejuvenated and excited by the series (which I am) or because the muse is so cranky because I haven’t written anything in weeks as I’ve been doing my website redesign work that he’s desperate for me to write anything and this seems like a pretty good chance for that to happen! (maybe a little of that too).
It’s opinion time. The novellas I have planned will definitely get written this year/next year, but I have a slew of novels not in the Vampires Realm series that I want to write too. I could probably squeeze a couple of Vampires Realm novels in to my writing schedule for next year though. So, what do you think I should choose as the novels to write? Here’s a rundown.
Blood Moon
Mia and Dmitri’s story about how they met and came to be together. Historical vampire/werewolf romance.
Midnight
Oneiric’s (in Seventh Circle) story about how he met Clare/Eve and the terrible mess they found themselves in, and got themselves (and a lot of the world) out of.
Forever After
Ineru and River’s story about a love that transcends time as River is reincarnated over and over until he finally finds his way back to Ineru. But will he love her now that he’s a vampire hunter?
Untitled
Hyperion and Sakura’s story. Hyperion falls in love with a young geisha, only to have to leave her when she discovers that he’s a vampire. What will he do when she returns to him as part of the eastern party he must entertain at his mansion? Can he win her heart again now that she has become a vampire? Did she do it so she would find him one day?
What shall I write?
