Trailer for New Moon
I went to the cinema on the weekend with my husband (to see District 9, which was very good) and there was a trailer for the next film in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, New Moon. Husband turned to me with raised brows and I was looking much the same. I’ve never read the stories but I do see similarities in it to my Vampires Realm series–with the laws and those that uphold them, the separation of hero and heroine, and introduction of a sub-hero. It’s all very Prophecy Trilogy to me.
I must admit that I have watched the first film, Twilight, because a few readers wrote to me at the time it was out and said that my Prophecy Trilogy / Vampires Realm series was better, which made me quite proud considering that it’s only self-published romance ebooks. I would love to see it published in paperback one day by a big publishing house, but I don’t think I will hold my breath! Maybe one day when they pick up Arcadian or Ascension and start trawling my back catalogue for more stories to make money from.
Still, it was interesting to see the trailer for New Moon, although I’m not sure I’ll go and see it, and I’ll be sticking with my Vampires Realm series in terms of books as I’m not really into the teen romance market. I prefer my stories with more bite, a touch more adult content (violence, not just the sex!) and I don’t really like stories written in the first person as I want to know what both the hero and heroine are thinking.
Does anyone else see the similarities, or is it just me?
Does anyone think that Prophecy Trilogy would make a darn good series of movies?

Daughters of Lyra: Heart of an Assassin
Princess Natalia, one of the beautiful and strong daughters of Lyra, has spent her whole life on Lyra Five behaving just as a princess should, except for one thing. After her daily duties she sneaks out at night to sing in the bars of Lyra Five, pretending to be someone else. Natalia loves to sing, more than anything else in the galaxy, until the night that Ixion, the handsome commander of the royal assassins, comes to the bar to bring her home.
Ixion is the only man Natalia has dreamed of since she first saw him seven years ago, but she’s sure he doesn’t notice her and she’s determined to change that. But Natalia couldn’t be more wrong.
Ixion has loved his elusive princess, Natalia, since the night he revealed himself to her, and now he faces a daily struggle between his duty and his heart, between hoping a princess could love him, an assassin and man of no rank in society, and fearing that she loves another man more worthy of her heart.
When Natalia insists on going to the spring festival, Ixion is ordered to ensure her safety, just as she hoped, but things don’t go as smoothly as she had planned. An explosion in the port triggers a battle between the purist factions and the imperial army and Natalia is caught in the middle of it.
Will Ixion be able to protect Natalia? Will Natalia be able to convince Ixion that she loves him and that the passionate night they share won’t be their only time? When her family discovers she’s in love with an assassin, will Natalia be able to save him or will Ixion face a death sentence?

Daughters of Lyra: Heart of a Commander
Lieutenant Amerii, one of the beautiful and strong daughters of Lyra, wants nothing more than to prove herself to her captain and the army without her father, Captain Lyra III’s, help… except maybe one thing. Van, Count of Aeris and attendant to Emperor Varka has been on her mind since she met him at her cousin Sophia’s wedding, and she wants to see him again.
Charged with the duty of meeting the Varkan first fleet at Varka Two, Amerii is pleasantly surprised when the commander turns out to be Van, and he wants her to be the one to join him on his vessel to sign the contract between Varka and Lyra. When she meets him again, he’s more handsome than she remembered, and she resolves to risk the violence of his bloodlust to make him hers.
Van is sure bringing Amerii to his vessel is nothing short of dangerous and his fears are quickly realised. Amerii stirs his blood like no other female and he’s been battling his bloodlust since first meeting her, desperate to know what love is and to find a way of controlling himself so he can have her, but his feelings for her are too strong to resist, placing his whole crew in danger.
Can Amerii convince Van that he can love and that he’s worthy of becoming her mate? Can Van control his bloodlust enough that he won’t hurt Amerii when he bites her? And when Van is taken captive by the Wraiths of Varka Two, how far will Amerii go to rescue the man she loves?

The next story in my exciting Daughters of Lyra sci-fi romance ebook series is out now…
Daughters of Lyra: Heart of a Prince
Princess Renie, one of the beautiful and strong daughters of Lyra, loves nothing more than exploring space with her twin brother, Rezic, but when they venture too close to the Black Zone, the barrier between Vegan space and the rest of the galaxy, things turn from exploration to a fight for their lives. With Rezic injured in a meteorite shower, Renie has no choice but to accept help from a vessel within the Black Zone, even when it turns out to be Vegan! Separated from her brother and taken hostage, to be held for ransom, Renie isn’t sure what she’s going to do…
Until she meets a man in the cells, the most unusual and gorgeous male she has ever seen, a man who seems to be willing to do anything to protect her and makes her pulse race.
Tres isn’t enjoying his stay in the cells. The commander has broken his thermal suit, leaving him cold and weak, and his last chance of leaving the Black Zone has been thwarted. But the galaxy comes to him instead, and she’s more beautiful, warm and full of feeling than he’d ever dreamed. When he discovers her and her brother’s plight, he vows to help her if she’ll help him, and when she touches him, showing him warmth, he wonders how touch can be so forbidden and realises that he’ll do anything for her.
When Renie is injured during their escape and Tres is forced to stay behind so Rezic can leave with her, will she ever see him again? Will she be able to convince her father, General Lyra II, to go back into the Black Zone and rescue the man she’s fallen in love with? And will she still love Tres when she realises just who he is?

Winter’s Kiss
The tales of the mansion near Nika’s remote Russian village say that its lord drinks blood to live and that the guards are dead men walking, but that doesn’t stop Nika from falling for one of them—a man who seemingly hasn’t changed in twenty years, a man she wishes would be hers. One snowy spring night, her world and his collide when she is attacked by wolves and he rides in on a black horse to rescue her. But her knight in shining armour is far from saintly. He is a vampire, and she is becoming a werewolf, and love between such species is forbidden—the penalty death.
Winter is a commander of the Validus, the most powerful vampire bloodline in Europe. Faithful to his family and his lord since his turning one thousand years ago, he follows the law to the letter and places duty above all else, but his resolve is about to be tested in the most painful way and his world shaken beyond salvation. The girl he watched grow into a woman, a woman who has stolen his heart, is now a werewolf and his dream of making her his has been shattered. Only vengeance can be his now or the Law Keepers will hunt him down and kill both him and Nika.
But Winter’s plan to take Nika home to her family only leads to her witnessing the destruction of her village and the death of her father at the hands of the werewolf trying to claim her, and Winter finds that he can’t leave her. His heart demands that he protects Nika from the werewolf, Willem, by killing him and that he finds her a new home, somewhere she will be safe without him, for he must even protect her from himself. But Nika tempts him more than he can bear and it isn’t long before he finds himself treading the knife’s edge between upholding the law and succumbing to desire.
Nika does everything in her power to convince Winter to stay with her, to go against the laws and risk death, but in the end will she have done enough? When they reach the last bastion of the werewolves, will Winter leave her with her kin? Will the nights they spend together change his heart and his mind, or will she spend eternity dreaming of Winter’s kiss?

Daughters of Lyra: Heart of an Emperor
Princess Sophia, one of the beautiful and strong daughters of Lyra, has had it with the never-ending row of suitors that her father, King Sebastian Lyra I, has lined up for her. When the latest suitor turns out to be the emperor of Varka, a species known for their lack of emotions, nocturnal lifestyle and bloodlust, Sophia wants little to do with him.
But when she greets the emperor and his two attendants, Sophia realises that a Varkan makes her heart beat like no other man before him and might just win her after all. Only, it isn’t the emperor who was caught her eye.
Regis, Count of Sagres, is transfixed from the moment he meets Sophia. She pushes him to the brink of surrendering control to his bloodlust with every beautiful glance and smile she throws his way. But would she ever marry a male who doesn’t know the meaning of love? Fear of the bloodlust makes Varkans retain an iron grip on their emotions, but Regis is willing to surrender control and risk everything to win Sophia. And Sophia will do whatever it takes to make him see that Varkans can love and that she wants no other man in the universe, including triggering his bloodlust and putting the whole palace in danger!
Will Regis’s feelings for Sophia be enough to stop him from hurting her and killing the entire palace? Will Sophia be able to love a man that the universe sees as a monster? And will she still love him when she realises the Varkans’ deception?

Back from my travels (and it’s so cold!)
I’m back from my travels to Italy. Verona was wonderful, Venice was as lovely and as crowded as ever, and Lake Garda was absolutely stunning! I’m missing the balmy 35c temperatures now though as I’m back in a slightly drizzling and very cold England, which can only boast a measely 16c temperature today. It’s been raining non-stop. Such a stark contrast to the eternal sunshine and heat of Italy.
I am refreshed now and ready for getting on with my writing work. Of course, any sense of calm and relaxation I have right now will be shattered on Monday morning when I have to get up at 6am to go to work. Bleh! I’m sure all you commuters out there can sympathise. It’s horrible having to slog into London every day of the week to work. One day I will be a stay at home writer. Joke! My husband says that I’ll go crazy if that happened. I get cabin fever if I’m left alone in the house for a whole day, let alone the whole week!!!
I’m not sure what the writing plan is right now. I have to sit down and figure out what needs to be done and then go from there. I definitely want to get Winter’s Kiss polished up and ready for release sooner rather than later. I would like to be able to expand Ascension as planned but I’m not sure when that will happen. 3 out of 5 of my Arcadian readers have come back with their comments and I have those to think about once I have the other 2 readers responses in. I don’t plan to start work on the Arcadian polish until July though, which leaves me a few weeks of June to play around with. I think that I’ll be finishing the proof of Winter’s Kiss and then writing Ascension, and then doing the polish on Arcadian.
I also have to keep up with my Japanese as I’m starting to flag on that front and need to really concentrate more on it now that it’s getting more difficult and I’m learning higher level things.
On a brighter note, the first Daughters of Lyra story came out this week on Fictionwise.com. Heart of an Emperor isn’t out on Alinar Publishing until tomorrow but Fictionwise have strange deadlines and release dates so it ended up coming out a week earlier there. I’m hoping that it does well but I’ve never had a story released there a week before it’s actually due for release. I don’t think it’s doing it any favours right now, and I suppose it doesn’t help that I was away when it came out so I couldn’t promote it. Doh!
If you want to get it at a 15% discount this week, then head on over to http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook88327.htm
Well, off to work for me… well… proofing Winter’s Kiss anyway… not office work! (yet)

Romance works in progress
It’s been a while so I thought I would have a catch up with you all. I’ve been busy this week reading a paperback version of the second draft of Arcadian to get a feel for it before I start the third draft / polish in July. It reads well and the feedback I’ve received about it so far from my five readers is positive, and the only things pointed out were things that I felt needed addressing anyway, so all good on that front.
I finished reading it on Wednesday, so yesterday I was going to do some Japanese but I bought my massive notebook for the seven book paranormal romance series which I’ll be writing next year and it was game over. All I did was read through the notes for the various brothers and start writing more. It’s mostly scene stuff right now but sometimes it’s notes about them, or about the heroines, or the world/enemy and that kind of things. I’m doing it again today, even though Friday is my official Japanese day. I tell you, once I start reading stuff for this series, I can’t stop my mind from working on it and thinking up more stuff. It’s wonderful to be so into the series considering that it’s going to take me a long time to write and that it’s a long series. Each book will be novel length, probably 80,000 to 100,000 words, and there’s 7 of them, so that’s a lot of work. It’s good that I can leave it for months at a time, come back to it and read the notes, and be so enthusiastic and excited again. Of course, my hubby doesn’t appreciate talk of my Hades’ Boys. I think he gets jealous when I start talking about how I’ve spent a lot of time with three of them but need to spend time with the rest. Lol. I swear I could spend a year just writing notes for these stories.
I’m on holiday next week but I don’t think my mind will give it a rest. It never does, even when I’m somewhere beautiful and distracting, like Prague. When I saw the Charles Bridge in Prague, inspiration hit me for a scene in the Prophecy Trilogy and I feverishly wrote it down. I always carry a small notebook with me so I can write things down as they strike me.
When I get back from Italy (I’m going to Verona) I’ll be working on the proof of Winter’s Kiss and on Ascension. I have notes for that story and a rough idea of the improved storyline. I just need to get it written now. It’s difficult taking a complete short story and expanding it. There’s a chance I won’t write the same for the other bits. Still, the hero will have me writing in his voice in no time. He’s that kind of man/demon!
It’s a hot day in the UK today. It was too warm even at 6:45am! Now it’s humid and horrible and it’s only 8:30am. I have a busy work day ahead of me so I better get prepared. I can’t wait for my holiday!
Look out for my new website this weekend!!! I’ve slaved over it and I can’t wait to get it launched.
