What Comes Next
Other projects in the works.
My Kickstarter for In Between is halfway over. We still aren’t as close to our goal as I’d hoped, but there is still time to get there.
You can still support my Kickstarter Campaign here.
In the meantime, I thought I’d show you what else is currently on my creative docket. I haven’t talked much about it, but I am what we like to call a multi-genre author. I love writing YA, but I’ve also written historical fiction, contemporary romance, and children’s fantasy. Basically, I want to write whatever story won’t leave me alone.
After sending In Between off to my editor, I had a choice to make: start editing Book 2 of The Seance Society or work on something new.
To be honest, I’ll probably do a little of both. Because apparently working on one project at a time is too reasonable.
But, which project do I tackle next? Should I go back and finish one of my abandoned WIPs (Works In Progress) or start something fresh?
Let’s run through the list of unfinished and new projects, shall we? Then maybe you can help me decide which one I should work on
Stories I Need to Edit:
Promise Me Tomorrow
YA Contemporary Romance, needs to be rebuilt
Senior year was supposed to be the best year of their lives. Instead, for lifelong best friends Jessica and Wade, it becomes their worst. When tragedy tears their friend group apart, they must learn that loving someone and saving them aren’t always the same thing.
Promise Me Yesterday
Contemporary Romance, Complete at 76k words, needs editing
Ten years after they almost were, estranged best friends Wade and Jessica are forced to plan their high school reunion, dredging up shared grief and buried feelings—but when a new job threatens to take Jessica away again, Wade’s belief that loving her means letting her go may cost them the future they never got to choose.
Promise Me Tomorrow and Promise Me Yesterday follow the same characters, but each novel stands on its own.
The Last Request
Contemporary Romance, needs editing
A former womanizer travels to the mountains of Virginia to fulfill his best friend’s dying wish—only to discover a life he never knew he wanted before waiting for him there.
Firefly Creek
Historical Fantasy, New Adult
A young woman is transported into her grandmother’s 1868 life and learns a heartbreaking secret that kept two soulmates apart for a few lifetimes.
These Haunted Hearts (The Seance Society, Book 2)
YA Paranormal, Romance, 72k, 1st draft
Can’t tell you what this one’s about.
Spoilers.
Stories I Need to Finish:
The True Tales of Faeries
Children’s Fantasy, 48k/60k
When her only friend in the strange new “town” disappears—and no one remembers he existed—a peculiar thirteen-year-old girl uncovers a doorway to Faerie beneath her grandma’s house, but when the Faerie Queen takes an interest in the trespassing human children, she must lead her newfound friends out before they’re too changed to ever go home.
Roses WIP
Second Chance Romance
Two people who can’t be together start a secret relationship—but the consequences of being discovered might be more than either of them is prepared to face.
The Missing Piece WIP
Second Chance Romance (apparently this is my favorite trope)
A recently widowed mother of two reconnects with an old flame, but before she can move forward with the literal man of her dreams, she must reconcile the marriage she’d wanted with the one she actually lived.
Stories I Have Plotted but Need to Write:
Red House WIP
Contemporary Romance
After giving up on love, a woman inherits a house in the country and decides it’s the perfect place to be alone. Unfortunately for her new anti-romance vow, the attractive and charming handyman hired to renovate it decides to camp on her property while he works.
Beach WIP
YA Contemporary Romance with paranormal twist
When a college student on the brink of losing her scholarship agrees to help a recklessly optimistic stranger complete a summer bucket list—including seeing the ocean, falling in love, and proving ghosts exist—she risks the secure future she’s been working toward as their deepening connection forces her to question what he’s really racing against… and what happens next.
Book 3, The Seance Society
YA Paranormal Romance
Can’t tell you what this one’s about, either.
Spoilers.
So, there you have it. That’s what’s on my creative docket at the moment—or evidence that I am incapable of focusing on only one idea at a time. What do you think? Which story immediately caught your attention? Which one should I start working on next while I wait for edits?
Tell me in the comments. And if you’d like to help make sure In Between is the first of these books to reach readers, you can support the Kickstarter here.
