Greetings from beyond Once Upon a Time,
During the writing of this story, I decided I wanted to turn it into a piece of general fiction. The plan was to use my one-shot 'Out of Darkness and into Love' as a 'novella' intro to it BUT Darkness took on a life of its own and will be published in the next few weeks. The prequel, Welcome to Swan Harbor can be found under another cover.
As for Kittens. The bones will be kept, but it is being reworked as I am weaving new characters that showed up in Darkness into the story plus adding a few things, moving stuff around. I tried to change their names but sometimes when you write a character, they know best. So, the main characters are Emma Foster and Killian Reade.
My goal is to finish my weaving and editing this month and send it to the editor in March for publication in late May. Which means that I will be deleting the CS version form AO3, FF and tumblr (but will leave the gifs on tumblr). So, if you would like to save a copy, do so.
Below please see my plans for the year ahead.
Danny Patterson and Sally Miller – Novella – Welcome to Swan Harbor. Available now and a free download.
Jessica Prince and Cameron Hunter - Novel - From Darkness into Love – in publication Feb/March
Emma Foster and Killian Reade - Kittens, Puppies & Love - May
Elsa Thompson and Liam Reade - planned for August
Ava King and Finn Reade - planned for October
Probably a Swan Harbor Christmas novella OR another Christmas novella.
I've also got an idea that I'm calling, The Legend of Lover's Cove – which will be a parallel story of a pirate - Ian Jones and a princess - Anna Prince in the past (will be related to characters introduced in earlier books) and in the present Emma and Killian.
(While Emma and Killian's story has a happy-ever-after in Kittens, they will continue to be involved both in their own story as well as with the main story through the next few books.)
And the beauty of writing a small town is I plan to weave the characters in and out of each of the books.
I'm hoping you will come follow me as I journey through Swan Harbor and explore the people who live there. I'm including the description for both Welcome and Darkness (From Darkness into Love). I consider them to be a marriage of a sensual romance and a cozy mystery set in a small town. If you enjoy those type of stories, Check them out.
