The new book is on the way

I finally had some time to sit down and get to work on the next book for the Avalon series. It felt so good to see words forming on that blank computer screen. I didn't get much done on it but some progress was made.

Up until this point, I have been trying to wrap up my work at the college for Spring quarter and start thinking about Summer quarter. Yep, I continue to teach throughout the summer. The nice thing though, is I do wrap up the teaching each day by noon.

This new series for Avalon (written under my real name) is a Victorian series. I have been really fascinated by the early Victorian period in the US, especially with the lives of the people who would frequent Newport for their version of the season. You know, the Astors and their friends.

This new one will be based out of San Francisco, New York and London. I'm loving this as it gives me a chance to really dive back into some great research.

I'll keep you posted and for those of you coming to San Francisco, I'll see you there.

Character inspirations for the Cornish Dukes

This week I got my revision notes back for Vennor Penlerick's story, the very last one in the dukes' series, so I will going into the writing cave shortly for a couple weeks while I tweak this finale to the series into shape. But, before I do, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the inspirations for the four heroes. It's hard to believe this time last year, the series was just beginning to take shape and now it's out there for readers!  So here's how it began. Eaton Falmage , Lord Lynford (heir to the Duke of Bude). He's meant to be a regional fellow, more concerned with what he can do at home for his people than the glitter of London, and with his own secret to hide, he'd prefer to stay out of Society's eye. While he didn't physically embody Aidan Turner, he did embody some  of the similar attributes of Turner's character, Ross Poldark. So, I started there for some inspiration about Eaton. Fun fact: about three months after I fin...
