My first two novels were, as you know, paranormal romances that created a fantasy world for my readers to experience. I enjoy writing paranormal stories because it gives me a chance to explore my imagination, and in the case of the Aradia Series, use my study of the Aegean Bronze Age and love of Greek history and mythology as a way of expanding, if you will, a world that has been long lost to us. What world am I speaking of? Our imagination. In a world where we have become so dependent on technology and computers pretty much control our everyday decisions, I believe that in the quest for advancement of our society, we, as a generation, have lost the desire to explore the beauty of the world we live in and have gotten so caught up in the day to day chores of our lives.
Writing a fantasy-paranormal romance gives me the chance to let my mind run free and create a story that I hope you will enjoy and let your imagination paint the picture of the world I have created for you to experience through my words.
Now, with that being said, I have strayed from the world of Aradia and am now in the process of writing my first contemporary romance. If you have visited my facebook page, then you already know about Lucille and Nathan and have seen several sneak peeks from my current novel. It is more on the erotic side of romance than my first two novels, even though the Aradia Series has its share of steamy love scenes, this one is, well, an experiment of sorts to challenge the writer in me.
Of course, I'm not giving up on paranormal. I already have notes and scene ideas for the third book in the Aradia Series, and there will be five books in that series with possible supplementals, like the immortalizing of Pagan, and maybe the creation of the guardians of life. SO, ARADIA FANS, DO NOT DESPAIR! The story will continue.
I'm merely switching realms for a bit, that's all.
