I wanted a fierce cat for Zelia’s feline form. Yet something that wasn’t really recognizable in this Earth Dimension. Zelia’s large predatory cat form was inspired by a Caracal Cat. They were interesting and unusual.
Yet I wanted the animal to have spots. So I found a picture of a Clouded Leopard. But it still wasn’t right.
I had my daughter photo shop the cat so it was spotted, with tufts on ears and cheeks. I think she did it in a way that looks very natural. So, the Tracker race was created.

Spoiler:
Who is the Indigo dragon trapped in the slaughter house? He’s going to be saved so don’t worry too much about him. Remember, Maura set a spell that will bring someone to his rescue. Oh? well trust me it will happen.
In (WT) Dragon’s Mark Cathwren accidently triggers that spelled portal and is swept to the abandoned packing plant. She finds and rescues Kiernan, the Indigo dragon. There is some conflict on how exactly Magic brought her to his rescue. It is a question unresolved in Dragon’s Mark.
Now we know the secret!

The way the bag guy gets into the hotel room to attack Maura is in the guise of the Pizza Deliveryman. What kind of pizza is Maura’s favorite? I didn’t mention in the manuscript.
Our local pizza the Mellow Mushroom has a great Caesar Pizza. My son loves the meat lovers pizza. The local pizza buffet, Cici’s Pizza does a great BBQ Pizza. And we have the choice of a variety of delivery pizza places. Is it sad they they recognize me from caller I.d. and ask if I would like my regular order? LOL.
Maura and I share a common favorite flavored Pizza. Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Black Olives. It is also the favorite pizza of Cathwren in that dragon story I’ve been working on forever. LOL Secret shhhh
What is your favorite pizza concoction?

Secret Number Five. The quest of the story is central to following up on leads in search of Ardith. Who is Ardith?
The whole world of WyrmArach, the Dimension where things are quite unusual. Dragons fly, feline shape shifters, fairies and more was created in my novel length WIP called at the moment Dragon’s Mark. This is the working title. I know the name will need to change because when I google “Dragon’s Mark” I get a lot of information pointed at a video game.
The Second book WIP in that series is Dragon’s Soul is The story of Isobeau and Kiernan. Yes, Isobeau the healer from Dar’kind Promises.
In Dar’kind Promises I had the chance to explore other races from the WyrmArach Dimension. The Trackers and the Fae. The tendrils of this story are in Dragon’s Soul
In that story line, Isobeau is captured and taken back to the WyrmArach Dimension where she will be sentenced to a life of pleasure slave. She is pierced and fitted for her slave chains by a Dar’kind Fairy. Yes, Ardith. Ardith has her own secrets in what has happened to her. Some of her past is horrific. The torture and her disfigurement leave her unable to rescue herself. She is trapped.
While working on Dragon’s Soul and meeting Ardith, I wondered if anyone was looking for her. Didn’t she have anyone to save her? Didn’t anyone care?
Maura’s story grew out of these thoughts. Ardith isn’t rescued yet but I have a feeling her time will come. Happy Reading.

Verucca Toadswizzler has meddled in the affairs of the WyrmArach Dimension for many many years. She has her own secret about the birth of the royal twins.
When she placed a spell on Zelia to give her a form to hide her while she is in the Earth Dimension things back fired a little bit. Or perhaps they turned out exactly like Verucca planned? She is a wise old wizardess and ordinarily manipulates things to be just as they should.
In any event, why did I choose the form of an ordinary orange tabby house cat as Zelia’s alter ego in the Earth Dimension? LOL, her earth cat form is my cat Peyton. And the scene where Maura is trying to get the cat off her doorstep at the hotel is inspired by real life events. This kitten would NOT go away no matter how much I ignored her. She was destined to be my kitty I guess.

The ancient wizardess Verucca Toadswizzler helps prepare Zelia for her mission to the Earth Dimension. Her meddling causes some startling problems.
So, Where did I come up with the name Verucca Toadswizzler? I’ve had several people comment on the interesting choice. Names are key in my stories. I will sometimes struggle for the right name. I’ve often written blurbs with Alphabet letters in place of names. It looks something like this blurb for an upcoming Amethyst Desire Collection story.
Bi-sexual lovers X and Y decide a little variety is the best gift they can give each other to celebrate their holiday yule. Girls just wanna have fun. All X and Y want for Christmas is a little cock. They suspect their neighbor, Z, can fit the bill in a big way. To be totally fair in how they’ll take turns with Mr. Lucky they purchase an amethyst necklace from Salynne’s Crystal’s and Thyme. Whoever has the necklace gets all their boy-toy’s attention. Then, they’ll switch. It’s only fair.
Z’s had his eye on the girls next door and he’s just the man to fill their fantasy and more. Z’s not a boy. He doesn’t plan on being a toy and never, never played it fair. He takes the necklace as the first prize of his seductive war with the pair. He’s willing to take prisoners and plans to have both the women in his bed on his terms. He’ll consider their release for good behavior, perhaps in time for summer.
Sometimes the names have to be carved out of the story. Other times they are right there in the front for me. I can’t always predict. Such is the case with Verucca Toadswizzler. Her name was not popping, squeaking or carving in any fashion. Then one day playing on Face Book I found an app…something like What is your wizzard name? I put in my name and the result was — you guessed it Verucca Toadswizzler. LOL Secret revealed.

So the second secret in the count down for the creation of Dar’kind Promises was found in what type of love story it would be. I am so often drawn to the stories of never ending love. The physical and spiritual attraction that you are mine and will always be so draws me in.
Perhaps it is a consequence of living in a disposable modern society. ‘I want a love that will last’ is a popular song. However, how do we create a love story like that and retain free will? Also, where can we find enough conflict to keep the story interesting?
In Dar’kind Promises our two heroines are thrown together on a quest. They are compelled to be together to accomplish a task to try to uncover leads to find one of the Fae who disappeared.
Zelia is a feline shapeshifter. She’s called a ‘Tracker’ by her race. She has a human form and a very fierce predatory feline one. An ancient wizardess helps prepare her for blending in to the human Dimension by magically giving her a third form.
Maura is one of the race of Fae, a Dar’kind Fairy. Her life has been consumed searching for Ardith her Fae ‘sister’. She carries a burden of guilt for Ardith’s loss. She doesn’t allow time for distractions. Zelia constitutes a major distraction that she can’t resist. She is over loaded and over whelmed.
Zelia feels the connection to Maura first. She wants to reject the connection. She struggles to resist her attraction. Of course, without success.
I hope you will find the result an entertaining read.

I promises secrets about the creation of Dar’kind Promises. I hope I am up to the task. LOL. So the first thing that almost no one knows is: Why did I write Dar’Kind Promises?
It all started when I submitted my first story to Rebel Ink Press, “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp”. My editor sent back the customary revisions letter. She said some nice flattering things that made me feel really really good. At the end she said:
“Although M/M is hot right now, I feel we’re on the cusp of a F/F break out. My proposal is this, please consider writing us something from that perspective, any length any sub-genre. We’d love to take a look. If anyone is capable of pulling it off, I believe you are. We’d also like to see more from you in the M/M category when you’re ready.”
That one sentence, “If anyone is capable of pulling it off, I believe you are.” challenged me. One of my goals in my m/m story was making the emotion and love transcend gender barriers. Could I do it in a f/f as well or was that too close to home?
Believe me, I did a whole lot of thinking before I could move. Eventually, ideas swirled around and I put together a blurb proposal to send in to RIP for consideration. The answer came back we love it, write it!
I wrote for almost a year before I felt I’d nailed it. The result is “Dar’kind Promises”.

I can’t believe it is only thirty days until “Dar’kind Promises” is released on 2/3/13. This is a short novelette length story. It is paranormal f/f erotic romance. Each day for the next thirty days, I am going to give you a teaser and tell you some background secret about the story. You will also have a chance to ask me ANY question you wish. It should be fun. I just hope I can fill thirty days, eek. You can see the offical blurb and cover in an earlier blog here. So happy reading and let the secrets begin. Tomorrow I will tell you how this story got started.
Teaser:
“No, this is better but still not completely right.” Verucca pulled a book from her cluttered worktable and flipped through pages. “Cat’s the size you are now are pets in the Earth Dimension. However, your color is all wrong. There are no house cats with the odd spotted pattern of your fur. Fuss and bother.”
She lay the book down on the table by her hip, studying a picture from the pages. “Now, that color will do nicely. I’ll just have to add another layer to the spell.” She paused to reassure her feline companion. “It’ll be fine.” She shrugged, reconsidering. “It should be fine.” She checked the book one more time, clapped her hands and pronounced, “Orange Tabby.” The dark spots on the animal’s creamy tan fur stretched, elongated, and ran into a pattern of strips swirling around becoming orangish color on the cat’s fur. The crone walked around the animal looking down at her handiwork. “Yes this will do, quite satisfactory, if I do say so myself.”
The cat spoke for the first time. “Sa-tis-factory?” she stressed each syllable. The animal’s voice sounded like it emanated from the bottom of a well, a remote, shrunken sound that modulated through a range of helium-induced tones. “You cronish hack! This is far from satisfactory.”

I’ve received the official blurb for “Dar’kind Promises”. I’m so excited. It is my third release with Rebel Ink Press. Yet for the first time, this seems real. This is my first lesbian F/F release. My sisters in the ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ motorcycle club have been asking me to write some F/F romance. So for all my lesbian friends here you go!
I actually have several lesbian romances coming out this year. “Beverly’s Secret”; “Phoenix Reborn”; More to come!
Happy Noel everyone!
Dar’kind Promises
Darkind Fairy Maura comes to the human dimension on a search and rescue mission for one of her race. The success of the mission rests on her wits and the skilled aid of her feline tracker, Zelia. Unfortunately, Zelia is experiencing unpredictable shifts between feline and human forms.
Distracted by the sultry woman in her bed, Maura struggles to stay focused on their quest. If they’re unable to figure out how to gain control of Zelia’s shifting, all hope for success of their mission as well as any possibility of their future together will be lost.
Worse yet, an ancient evil targets Zelia and Maura in a bid for power and control of their magic.
Zelia is willing to risk becoming trapped in feline form and losing the love she’s found if it means she can save Maura from the evil hunting them. Meanwhile, Maura searches for the strength to abandon the quest for her lost ‘sister’ if doing so will save Zelia’s life and stabilize her shifting abilities.
