This week, I’ve begun working on a brand new project, an urban fantasy. The idea for it came to me while I was writing the first draft of the fourth book in the Prince Amir series. The storyline hasn’t ceased growing in my mind ever since. I became so enthralled by it that I decided to just go ahead and write it. That was the right decision. I started outlining the plot Monday, and, by the way it’s going, it should be completed by the end of the week. My outlines are always brief, a page or two per chapter, sketching the action, setting the order and feel of each section of the story. I also keep a notepad at hand to jot down all the extra details and bits of dialogue that come to my mind throughout the outlining process. Then it’s on to the first draft.

Best of luck with that!
Thanks, Tia, I appreciate your dropping by! :)
That's cool. As much as I enjoyed "Golden Cage," I can't wait to read your take on contemporary fantasy.
Thanks, Alex! Glad to be hearing from you! I am anxiously awaiting your new vampire novel, BLOOD GROOVE, you know. Hey, I saw that you have a blog. I’ve added it to my list of favorites.
