Celebrating

Yesterday my book The Royal Assassin came in the mail. OMG it was way too cool! It was perfect, exactly how I wanted. Talk about thrilling! Also as my daughter pointed out, what a great valentines gift! Exactly! Happy Valentines Day to moi!

To hold the Royal Assassin in my arms at long last!

Tonight we went out and celebrated with some great friends who are very supportive. We had a blast and to know this is just the beginning is fabulous!

Anyway, back to writing tonight!!

Oh forgot updated with my twitter

Lots of love and joy and happiness to everyone!

A review

I have a very trusted friend I share my writing with and she was the first to read the Royal Assassin. She sent me an email after reading it that made my day! She said that she was literally crying as she read it. She told me the parts she cried about then she posted this
"and I am crying because reis and shadowen love each other sooo much a love so pure....you are amazing "

OMG How cool is that!

It made my day because basically that's how I feel about them.

Blogger

I was able to figure out how to import my blog into this new blog!

Yea me!

Website

I finally got my website worked out yesterday. Wooo Hooo! Of course I still have a lot of content to add or even it out or something. Oh well, I'll get there at some point.

With my website I decided to just be me with it. I mean it is my “authors” website more or less, but I thought it would be cool to add some stuff about me that may not be typical, especially since I'm so not typical.

One thing I added was a few tidbits about what music I listened to while writing The Royal Assassin and some small trivia info. I know when I look at an author's page I'd love to know some odd facts about them or the book.

Anyway it's up and now I'm working on finalizing The Royal Seer.

New Blog

This is my new blog!

Yea Me!

Inspired

Ok I'm once again inspired as I write!

I Love It!

Eshe is moving forward even though it feels slow. But yesterday and today, BAM. It's flowing. Drives me crazy when I have to drive my daughter to school and dialogue is running through my head and I can't write it all down because I'm driving.

I know, I should record it right? I tried that before and at the time it didn't work for me.
Well at least when i made it home I pulled out the laptop and was able to get it all down and it sounded even better than in my head.

I was thinking too about writers who inspire me and I want to mention Christine Feehan. I think she is an amazing writer and I just joined her fan site and it has a member only section which is fabulous. If you've not read her stuff, please do! I discovered as I filled out some of the member info that I've actually read 24 of her books. I was shocked because I was thinking only about 10. Anyway she is an amazing writer and if you're into paranormal romance or just romance give her a read. I know you will not be disappointed.

Twitter & Poems

Ok I'm on Twitter now too. Damaris on Twitter! An interesting experience for me. I'm enjoying it so far.

I published a book of poems. Poetry from the Darkside - Erotic Dreams.

I'm still working on Eshe but I've had some busy time in RL that has slowed the progression down, but I'm still moving forward.

I'm also looking at publishing one of my novella's as an E-Book. A few of my friends think that it's an excellent way to go. Only time will tell. :)

Eshe

Ok... so here I am writing the synopsis of Eshe and writing the sequel when I realize there isn't enough for the second book and Eshe really seems a bit incomplete. So I'm going to tack on the sequel to make it work. So I'm not as finished as I thought I was. However that's fine with me because I need to be happy with it.

So I'm still completing Eshe!

Completion

Hey everyone! I've been quite busy writing I've neglected my blogs. But today I decided to jot a few updates for everyone.

August 25th at 1215am I completed Eshe. It was amazing. I sat very excited and of course my daughter was sound asleep and I couldn't wake her up because she was getting ready for school sleeping again.

At 1218 I was facebooking it then I began editing and believe it or not started on book 2 of the series.

I have finished the editing now and I began working on the synopsis and I realize I honestly haven't given Eshe a good ending, I've left her with more or less a cliff hanger so you will tune into book 2. Yet as I'm writing book 2 I realize there just isn't enough for a full book. So I think I will have to tack on book 2 to book 1.

So I'm not as completed as I thought. However this portion will not be the long endeavor of the beginning so it will not take me near as long as it's honestly almost done.

But feeling the completion of Eshe, honestly felt great and it still does. All my friends who have read it so far are thrilled with it and this in itself has made this labor of love quite fulfilling. So I'm hoping to finish up Baruti within the next week or so, because I am very much on a roll.

Synopsis for The Royal Assassin

Reis, the Royal Assassin to the Royal House of Darkness and Shadow had waited for Essence, the Heir of the Chalice to grow up and become his wife only for her to be taken away by Phantom another Heir of the Chalice to be his consort.

Reis petitioned the Royal House but the Royal Advocate stood on the side of Phantom and Reis lost her. He was given compensation however in the form of being allowed to train one of their children to be an assassin for the Royal House and or a consort if he so chooses.

Reis has no idea when he grudgingly visits Phantom and Essence to give his congratulations and inspect their children he would be blessed with a vision of the goddess Mysteria. He is shocked yet relieved when Mysteria whispers for him to claim their daughter Shadowen to train and be his consort.

Reis now must wait for her to grow up and come into her magic so his claim will be sanctioned in the Royal House. But he has no idea how furious Phantom is or the lengths he will go through to keep Reis from his new consort. Once Reis fully comprehends the obsession Phantom has for his daughter, the true Heir of the Chalice, he vows not only to train her but also to protect and cherish her for eternity as his consort.

Show me the way

I've been quite busy writing the last month. I have two books almost completed. Remember I read and write more than one book at a time. I write when inspiration flows and where it's flowing.

My original plan was to get Eshe's story published first. Mostly because it's the first book I started working on with the full intent of publishing. But now that I'm looking at Reis as the first. So as I come to a close of Reis's story along with Eshe's I'm trying to decide which is the better choice to begin with.

I mean I want them both published and both have full potential to have sequels. Actually their stories are so huge and those around the characters have stories themselves. I've already thought the process through with Eshe's, but Reis... I stated his story in book 3 which is almost done. So I have book 1 and book 3 of Reis done. I'm debating on book 2 of Reis, not sure it's even necessary right now. Of course a Troll war is good stuff, I'm just not feeling the inspiration to write the war itself. That might change of course.

This weekend I wrote on book 1 of Reis, it's slowly coming to a close. I have a chapter or two left. Then I will go back and do some editing. Oddly two songs have been playing on repeat while writing this section. Blow me away by Breaking Benjamin from the Halo2 CD and Believe it or not by Nickelback from The Long Road CD

Of course Reis is the Royal Assassin and I've been writing about this aspect of him. Yet the music has also sparked several battle scenes that are better served by some other chars in a different story line in the same universe. I've declined to write on these right now because it's just marinating in my brain.

So now I'm trying to decide which should come first to be published and I swear Reis is tapping me on my shoulder saying. "Uh.. you know it's going to be me."
