I know many of you have been waiting a long time for some of these characters to find their way into the hot seat next to my desk and start telling their story.
After I took a few months back, I realized just how important they were to you, so I have planned accordingly. I must admit I expected more of you to ask for a spin-off of the Scarlet Plumiere Series, but that's just a personal favorite, and I have no doubt those Grim Brothers will show up eventually.
*As you've probably seen elsewhere, we've started RETURN TO CULLODEN MOOR. I couldn't believe you all wanted more when that series was such a monster to begin with. But I learn something new from you guys every day.
Madly Deeply is already out, to be followed weeks later by Truly Fiercely by Diane Darcy. We'll publish others as soon as they are ready.
*Flanders--that's right--Flanders is next! His is book 7 in the Curse of Clan Ross series. And yes, there will be Muirs. Wickham will be needed, obviously, and since the book takes place a decade ago, it's the old Wickham you know and love.
*Next, there is a lot more to tell in the Romantasy series. Bain is headed to Scotland on the back of a DeNoy dragon, and a wild story is unfolding back in Hestia where nearly all the leadership has been eliminated and we have no idea who will emerge to play a role in Hestia's uncertain future.
*Hold onto your butts--Viking Trip is on the schedule. No, really. You asked for it--a LOT of you asked for it, and so Ian and Vivianne have been summoned to the waiting room. I already know this will be one of my all time favorites!!!
*Befuddled and Be Serious are also on the schedule. They're book 2 and 3 of my Cozy Witch Mystery Series that started with Be Witched. Muir witches a' plenty in this one, along with Hootie, the little owl that identifies as anything but. Both books are coming in the fall.
That's all that's planned for now. Of course I'll squeeze in as many Culloden books as I can, which shouldn't be hard now that I'm back to writing full time, and my enthusiam is at 2017 levels!
2025 is going to be epic.
On a personal note, I'll be trying to whittle away at the "things" that fill my house and draw my energy. I have lots of work to do and can't be worried about making room for all the stuff I've accumulated over the years. Today, for example, I'll be donating half of my Christmas decor. Sending off two Christmas trees, dishes that were my mother's, pillows made by my grandmother, and a lot of things I've been hanging onto for sentimental reasons that no longer hold the same sentiment they used to.
My sister is doing the same. If we know in our bones that we won't miss something if it's not around next Christmas, it's destined for the donation box or the trash can. So far, I have almost filled up the bed of the truck. I can't wait to start on the rest of the house, in between books of course.
What are you doing drastic this year?
If you're still reading, Happy New Year! Let's get at it!
