So awhile back (a good while back, I know) I mentioned that I'd been hired to write for The Ed Greenwood Group. At that point, that was all I could say. I couldn't release any details because of these wonderful little things known as non-disclosure forms. However, after many months of much hard work by a massive group of people, Onder Librum is officially live to the public and I can let you all know what you can be expecting from me over the next couple of years!
The first setting I'm working within is "In So Deep," and yes, you read that right. It does contain mature themes and is for adult audiences only. In other words, it's erotica. There will be sex in the novels released in this setting. Including mine. Just giving you fair warning. But it's not just sex, let's be clear on that. Ed Greenwood has developed a complex setting full of complex characters with a more than intriguing world order. And each novel is going to give its readers a dynamic and enveloping plot and story arc; the sex is just the window dressing.
So, as to what I'm doing specifically?
My novel is entitled "A Long Ride" and is set to be released in August 2017. Here's the teaser:
Despite the recent ravages of the Gulgular, the Earl and Countess of Sevormender are experiencing a shaky sense of peace. That sense is abruptly shattered when the Countess receives news her family in the neighboring country has disappeared without a trace.
Determined to find them, the Earl sets out on a dangerous journey across lands overridden with lingering bands of the flesh-eating toadmen. In order to survive, the introverted Earl will be forced to make use of moon magic, a magic powered by acute arousal and sexual satisfaction.
Meanwhile, left to care for the estate, the Countess will find herself assaulted not only by enemies without, but by those within. Will she be able to defend herself and her home while awaiting her husband's return? And will the Earl find it in himself to do what is necessary to succeed? Or will his love and fidelity for his wife be both their undoings?
The second setting I'm currently involved with is "Death Helm," a setting in which certain dead are brought back to life with nothing but a burning need to fulfill their own personal missions. Avenging a loved one, thwarting crime, serving their own personal brand of justice--the Risen will stop at nothing to see it done.
"The Hand of Justice," my Death Helm novel, will release in December 2020. What's it about? Take a look:
Avyleine awakens from death with no knowledge of her past life. She knows only one thing: an undeniable pull drawing her from her crypt and her inability to resist it. Following the inexplicable urge, she comes upon an alley echoing with female screams. Moments later, Avyleine is covered in blood, the garish pulp of a man before her. A young girl, her skirts lifted, bodice ripped, stares at her in shock.
Avyleine is a Risen, a "hero" brought back to life with a driving mission she doesn't understand, but cannot deny. As she pursues her purpose, she will form a tenuous alliance with a priest of the Destroyer, torn between her simultaneous allurement and repulsion for him. But as memories of her life before death emerge, will she continue to trust this new friend, or will her purpose demand his destruction...as well as her own?
So there you have it. A brief look at what is taking up most of my time these days. If I'm lucky, you're intrigued. And if neither of these settings sounds like your cup of tea, no worries. There are 13 other ones to choose from--just check out Onder Librum and find what fits your fancy.
