I've had a good summer off, had a lot going on, both inside and outside. Flowers have bloomed and some still are, and others, like my sunflowers, are going to seed.
But the writing continues. I'm one of those who needs to have about 3 different stories going at once. And I've waited for publisher to send me edits of my 6th book in Sabrina Strong series to me, and finally got them last weekend, and I'm still working on them. So, concentration is on Requiem at the moment. I've also realized I need to write up a description of the book. Last night I wrote it out in longhand, feeling that it might help the germ of inspiration for me to use a pen instead of type it out. Let's see how it is, and this is quite a rough draft, but I think it gets the message across.
Bill is back, literally from the dead. Is he vampire? Human? Or something more? His objective is to find and protect the Sybil. But this may prove to be harder than ever since the demon Naamah has vowed vengeance against her and enlists the talents of a witch to help.
Meanwhile, after the takeover, Tremayne is once again in power, calling Sabrina and Vasyl to his realm. His reasons for summoning the rival rogue vampire becomes apparent soon enough. Vasyl is asked to take over the eastern half of the U.S., while Tremayne goes to take on the western half, vacated by the vanquished (and very dead), Ilona.
Sabrina is uncertain of ramifications, and where this puts her in the hierarchy, but she knows her husband is now a very powerful and important vampire in Tremayne's realm. But she barely has time to get comfortable in this new position when she's attacked by Lief, who wants revenge for her having killed his mate. The V.I.U. (Vampire Investigation Unit), ignores the situation and lets Lief go. Showing that they side on the demonic side rather than vampire.
More than ever, Sabrina has to become pregnant, and when it looks as though she's about to go through with it, her spilled blood causes Vasyl to vacate and abdicate his new realm before he is tempted beyond the point of no return.
A breach in security at Tremayne Towers causes Sabrina, and others to fight off some nasty demons, but she is injured and needs a quick infusion of vampire blood to save her life. This is where Stefan Capella comes in as a major player in the Sybil's life. The secret behind who he really is is revealed soon enough, and although he brings on the charm, Sabrina isn't crazy about where this will ultimately lead.
This is what I've got so far. I'm sure it will change, and I haven't put an ending on it, as yet. Leave comments as usual. Love to hear from you.
I might advise removing Meanwhile. It may just be that it's a word I dislike.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was actually in two minds about it myself. I'll rip it out of there (:
DeleteI agree with William.
ReplyDeleteI miss writing in longhand. I could think more clearly that way.
I know what you mean. I used to have a large callus on my middle finger at the first joint. It's gone down since using the computer, but I do, from time to time, have to write out scenes in longhand.
