1) Tell us about your book/series. Heart Of A Dragon follows Seraphina, a dragon shifter with amnesia. She was found by Victor, a vampire, who saved her life after she was attacked. Unfortunately, she can't remember who attacked her or why. The series covers her journey as she tries to get her life back. She works with Victor to help other supernaturals too. The fifth and final book is out today! 2) What type of shifters feature in your books? Dragons :) I wanted to write about dragon shifters for a long time and I love how this series has developed. They have so many cool powers. 3) What abilities do they have? Seraphina is unusual because she has more powers than she should. Powers are different between male and female dragons, but Seraphina has a lot of power. She can breathe fire, sprout wings and even manipulate flames. 4) If you could transform into an animal, what would you choose and why? Well, dragon obviously, but if not then maybe a bird of some kind so I could fly.

The Wolves of Rock Falls is a four-book series with an added novella thrown in between that follows the same group of friends, with each book focused on a different couple. Largely because I’m impatient and want a completed love story in each book. But I also loved getting to know this larger cast of characters and featuring each of them in their own book. In order: First Shift, Rogue Shift, Sworn Shift, Dark Shift (novella with some scrumptious background information), Pack Shift. Lost Shift is a sister spin off book that does still feature most of the original cast as side characters. It just released in audio, too! 2) What type of shifter features in your books? Wolves. I love the wolves. Although, in Of Flame & Frost, I actually have a dragon shifter. Apparently, I have a type. 3) What abilities do they have? None of my shifting characters have any totally abnormal abilities (I mean, aside from shape shifting…), but my wolves do heal extremely quickly, and their human senses like hearing and smelling are heightened due to their wolf nature as well. Cole, my dragon shifter, is part fire-drake and part Phoenix. A large part of the book is how he overcomes his inability to control his flames. Yes, his name is Cole on purpose. ;) 4) If you could transform into an animal, what would you choose and why? If I could transform into any animal, I’d probably go for a dragon.

Flames of Kalleen is an adult epic fantasy romance set in the fantasy kingdom of Kalleen.

All Amethystine dragons are varying shades of purple. 3) What abilities do they have? Both Amethystine dragons and Kalleen dragons can fly and breathe yellow fire.

The Others series follows a group of shifters as they navigated the fight for equality and finding love. 2) What type of shifter features in your books? The first novella, Swan’s Fury, Hannah is a beautiful swan. In Dragon’s Wrath, Ronan is a dragon. In Butterfly’s Strength we have Charlotte, a butterfly finding her mate in Josh, a were. There are also bears, big cats, and very many birds of prey as part of the cast. 3) What abilities do they have? When in human form they retain some of the animal’s abilities. Hannah was not a people person. Ronan can “taste” smells and can follow a heat trace. Josh has a superior sense of smell. Charlotte has superb vision. I tried to incorporate the biggest strength of the animal (as there are no dragons around, sadly, I used a little bit from many reptiles like snakes and big lizard for Ronan). 4) If you could transform into an animal, what would you choose and why? It depends. If it means what kind of shifter I’d be, then I definitely a werewolf. Minding my business and loyal only to my pack. But if I could pick one just because, then I’d pick the Great Horned Owl. Owls are amazing per se, and that one is a beast…. Now that I think of it, I have an opening for a shifter in the series. The Great Horned Owl might be what I need. Viv writes contemporary suspense as MacKade, and paranormal and fantasy romance as V.V. Strange.

My series is named DARLING’S DAUGHTERS. It is about the tiny South African town, Darling. It has a small population of around five hundred people. About half of them are shapeshifters. The idea for this series was born from real-life local crossdresser, Evita Bezuidenhout, who bought the abandoned railway station in Darling and used the buildings to present satirical shows addressing political and societal issues. A crossdresser is as close to a shapeshifter as one can get in real life. Book 1, Diana, is about an artist student, the daughter of Rose Brown, a world-acclaimed fine artist. When Rose dies, the family is plunged into turmoil. Her stepfather, Tyler, tries to force Diana into signing a contract with his gallery. Her sister, Kim, intervenes. The two young women find themselves losing their mother, father, and home within a week. Diana returns to university to finish her studies, unsure of what she and Kim will do at the end of the year. In the middle of this chaos, something is happening to her body. Something strange. Diana writes it off to stress until she is confronted with the truth. She turns into a fox. Then Jan-Hendrik Lubbe enters her world. He invites her to South Africa, where her grandmother left them an estate and a sizable inheritance. One of the prerequisites for the inheritance is that they come to visit the town. Diana and Kim arrive to the open arms and hearts of the people of Darling. They fall in love and become the daughters of Darling. Yet, their father has ideas of his own. Book 2, Susanna, will be released on 30 April 2024. Susanna, or Sana to family and friends, is finishing her last year in school when she falls for the new girl, Mary. Sana was born and bred in Darling. She was only six when she first shifted. She inherited her shapeshifter genes from her mother, Gerda. They are Portia, from the species of Arachnida (jumping spiders). Everyone knows and loves her. After a tragic life-event, Sana leaves Darling and joins a traveling circus. She is looking forward to seeing new places and meeting new people. However, life with the circus isn’t what she expected. Life with David, the artist who trains her for their trapeze performance, isn’t a beautiful dream either. Can Sana find her way back to Darling? 2) What type of shifter features in your books? Book 1: Diana is a Fox shifter. Book 2: Susanna is a Portia (spider) shifter. Book 3: Mallindra is a Watersnake shifter. Book 4: Felicity is a Scorpion shifter. 3) What abilities do they have? Diana has excellent smelling, jumping, and running skills. She is agile and supple. She can wiggle through small spaces. Sana has excellent hearing and hunting skills. Being protective of those she loves is her superpower. She can fly in short bursts, cling to surfaces, and heal quickly. Summing up a dangerous situation, and planning an attack is also valuable Portia skills. 4) If you could transform into an animal, what would you choose and why? A lizard. They are resilient. They can rejuvenate themselves. They can regrow parts that are damaged or lost. Lizards thrive in all habitats. They are bold, agile, and crafty. Lizards are the kings of survival. I recently re-read the Percy Jackson original five books. In doing so, I realized that I read the first four when they came out, but I must have missed the fifth book, so it was great to finish it. I absolutely love the Greek Gods and how they are portrayed in the modern world. Annabeth is definitely my favorite character. I liked her relationship with Percy, you know, if you ignore the whole they're related thing! She certainly had a great arc and I love how it was her (spoilers) words that got through to the bad guy in the end.
I do wonder about Percy though. He cannot turn a corner without something happening to him. All he does is exist and some monster will find him, or he'll stumble on something he shouldn't. I think that only works because it is for younger readers and they do say that demi-Gods attract trouble. But I did lose count of the number of times that he was looking for someone and they appeared two sentences later or was saved by a deus ex machina. Althought maybe that's the point. It's fate. It works out because it is supposed to. What do you guys think of the series? Have you ever actually been so far ahead of your schedule that you don't know what to do with yourself? It is usually not something I have to deal with because I often fall behind due to health issues and overworking myself. But in the last couple of months I have found myself ahead for the first time...ever?
As I have stated previously, I do have ADHD and if you also have it you know that this is not necessarily a good thing. Most people would love some free time to sit and do absolutely nothing, but I have this urge to be constantly busy. Even when I am not physcially able. That is because my brain never stops, so it needs to be kept busy. If I stop, I will be bored, frustrated and then I find it very hard to get back into my routine. I actually tried it last year around Christmas time and I regretted it so much. This means that I have to fill the schedule up again. Which isn't usually an issue since I have about a thousand ideas to work on. So that means I may end up releasing more books this year than I had planned. But I will force myself to try and take the odd day off every now and then so I don't burnout! Happy Writing! |
