‘WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?’

Oh, that question. I get it all the time. But how to answer? Usually I answer simply – or try to. Otherwise I’m tempting the glazed look in the questioners eyes as I go off an a tangent about who and what and why. But as you’re here already, I figure you might actually want to know! So here goes…

I’m working on a series of 6 interrelated Urban Fantasy trilogies, (with the collection as a whole entitled ‘THE OTHERWISE’), each at least partly set in Dublin/Ireland, each one featuring a different supernatural, and many/most of the supernaturals moving through each other’s books/lives/stories. And after those are written, published and out in the world, I’ve a high fantasy series simmering in the background. So here they all are…

THE OTHERWISE:

TRILOGY 1, THE BOOKS OF RUE—starring Rue, a very very very old vampire.

BOOK 1. BLOOD & SAND – written, published, the historical story line begins in ancient Mesopotamia, modern story line is when Rue meets Grace. And other stuff happens like the world needs saving blah blah. Read the book! 😉

2. BLOOD & SILK – current work-in-progress. Historical chapters begin in Persian Empire, modern story line is Rue and Grace deepening relationship as well as a journey to save a friend.

3. BLOOD & STONE – Historical story line probably begins in Constantinople, modern storyline in Dublin and Rue is angry and behaving badly and I can’t tell you why. Also there may be an attempted assault on Heaven.

TRILOGY 2: THE ‘WOLF GIRL’ BOOKS. Trilogy starring Tamsin, a werewolf.

1. SKIN & BONE

2. FLESH & BLOOD

3. TOOTH & NAIL

TRILOGY 3: THE ERYK CASTER CHRONICLES. Starring a trans-man who is the world’s most powerful magician, specialising in necromancy, named Eryk. Begins in 1920’s post-war London.

1. OFFCAST

2. OUTCAST

3. OVERCAST

TRILOGY 4: THE DEAD GIRL TRILOGY.

Something is happening in the underworld. The dead are disappearing, and not in a good way.

1. DEAD WRONG

2. DEAD RIGHT

3. DEAD CENTRE

TRILOGY 5: THE BOOKS OF JAX. Starring a changeling named Jackie ‘Jax’ Rowan-Greene, a runaway Heiress living it up as a Neo-Glam rockstar in NYC, who has no idea that she is THE Jack-O-The Green, destined to lead the fae of the Summer court back to rule after The Winter Court takeover. What could possibly go wrong?

1. THE CHANGEING WAY

2. THE SHADOW PATH

3. THE MOONLIT TROD

TRILOGY 6: ANGELS APART

Three books, each one featuring a different angel (angels of my own mythology which is not necessarily the Abramic mythology one). Saving these for last because by then maybe I’ll be evolved/wise enough myself to understand such beings enough to write about them.

1. THE BOOK OF GRACE

2. THE BOOK OF HOPE

3. THE BOOK OF LOVE

And then, once all of the above are done, published, out on the world, I’ve a High Fantasy trilogy waiting in the wings (which may expand to more books if I’ve time):

THE SONG UNSUNG:

1. THE RISING REFRAIN

2. THE DARK DESCANT

3. THE CLARION CHORUS

Also I’d love to write Graphic Novels of all the UF books and I’m working on composing scores for all of the above as well.

Phew! I’d best get writing so!
