I meant to post last week that I had finished Hunter’s Moon<\/b> in first draft. It turned out to be almost 50,000 words in the end.<\/p>\n
I’m quite surprised by that. I had chosen to write Hunter’s Moon<\/b> first rather than Masquerade<\/b> because I had calculated that it would be the shorter of the two Vampires Realm<\/i> novellas that I want to release next year. Well, colour me wrong! I had anticipated that Hunter’s Moon<\/b>, which is a werewolf and vampire romance based in Canada, away from the main stalking ground of the seven pure bloodlines of Europe, would only be around 30-35,000 words. While it has plot and action, it’s more of an emotional story compared with Masquerade<\/b>, which has lots of emotion too but is more action-based. Lots of fight scenes. It turned out that there were more fight scenes in Hunter’s Moon<\/b> than I had thought there would be, and it grew to accommodate them. Now I’m left wondering whether Masquerade<\/b> might turn out to be a novel rather than a novella! <\/p>\n
I still have some work to do on the outline of Masquerade<\/b>, so it’s entirely possible that it will be a novel rather than a novella.<\/p>\n
I’m quite pleased with how Hunter’s Moon<\/b> has turned out though. I think fans of Winter’s Kiss<\/b> will enjoy it. It has a lot of emotion, turmoil, and will probably have you rooting for the hero & heroine and wishing those pesky laws against such relationships didn’t exist.<\/p>\n
Now I just have to let it sit for a while and then come back and tackle the second draft!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
