Post 45

 Finally finished The Elemental Detective. Sent it off with the cover. It's definitely a prequel to a series. But I won't be working on it anytime soon. My muse has been silent on it so it's on the bottom of my queue. TED should be out in mid-June though.

Started working on Book 4 (Wind Whisperer) of Elemental Voice. It's tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of next year. But my muse is fickle so who knows. Here is a little extra: the backstory of how Sara got her gift. Hope you enjoy it. Link: Drabble

My new website is up and live. All my worlds and books in one place. I still plan to update these blogs periodically, just not as regularly as I have been. Here is the link: Grimoire

If you haven't already please check out the books I have out of the Elemental Voice series. 

At least the first book. It was as I say below the first book I wrote. 

And I'm partial to it. :) 

Now on to the regularly scheduled post: 

This is the blog for my elemental books. These books will all be variants on elemental magic.

The original series is an Urban Fantasy called Elemental Voice. It is set in a world where psychics consult regularly with the police and vampires live next door. The FMC Sara reads the earth like a medium hears the dead and finds dead bodies for the local sheriff's office.

The first book is called Earth Reader. Fire Walker (book2) and Water Ferrier (book3) are out. Number 4 (Wind Whisperer) is in the works. There is to be five books in this series. I may branch out to more books with these characters, but whether I will put them in the EV series or start a new series I don't know yet. 

These older books are in what I call 'movie style' or pulp. Fast paced and action oriented with little description and a lot of dialog. They are also my first books, full of my inexperience but also full of my creativity. I have left them as is. Sentimentality. The rest of the books will be in the same style.

There is also a 'companion' series to EV. Right now I have the ideas for just three books, but with my muse being so fickle who knows if more may come.

Both Deadly Sands and Deadly Flames are out. Book 3 of the trilogy is in the queue. These books go into the relationship a bit more and are set around vacations that turn into busman's holidays. Can her vampire FBI agent boyfriend keep her safe when death joins them on holiday?

I will be adding more books as they come up in the queue.  Some will be standalones and others will be series standalones.

 Still haven't finished The Elemental Detective. My muse and characters are just not cooperating. But I said I'd finish this novella and I'm going to. And by the deadline!

Book 2 of the Ghostwolf series under my other name is now out. So Book #4 of Elemental Voice is next in the queue. It's been waiting a long time and I guess it won't hurt it to wait some more til this TED novella is done.

The website is still a WIP. But it will be nice to have all my books on one site and everything linked instead of on these different blogs.

At least the first book. It was as I say below the first book I wrote.

 Still working on The Elemental Detective. I want to be finished with it so I can get on to Book 4 of Elemental Voice but the characters aren't cooperating. And the deadline for TED is coming up fast. 

When my muse dropped off TED, she also deposited The Null Agent story idea before disappearing for a while. She came back but totally ignored those two stories and started talking about Book 4.  But I had already gotten half way through TED and wanted to finish it before concentrating on Book 4. I had made plans to publish it with the Book Goddess and everything. Now my muse is in a snit.

So both my characters and my muse are being cagey with me.

On the brighter side, I have a work-in-progress website. It is under my T. L. Riffey umbrella but will have all my books on it and hopefully my extras that I have here and on my other blogs.  More on this later. 

I got a new review this weekend(May 14). First review since I started pimping Elemental Voice, though I've gotten a few ratings along the way. I like to thank those who take the time to review and rate my books. So Thank You so very much. It makes an Author's day to receive a rating or a review. 

If you haven't already please check out the books I have out of the Elemental Voice series. 

At least the first book. It was as I say below the first book I wrote.

 I'm still working on The Elemental Detective novella. Pushed out the deadline a bit. Stuff is still percolating and the characters are still being cagey. As I said my muse just dropped this TED Drabble and a few incomplete scenes, then left. So the characters are all I got to go on with right now and as I said--cagey.  Maybe they're afraid I'll leave too if they tell me everything. Hmm. 

I've been haunting book groups and pimping this series. I should also be pimping my other books as well especially the Ghostwolf series since Book 2 is coming out this month but I've been focused on EV since there's been movement on it. However was that movement organic or the result of my pimping that first (dozen)time?  And now I'm obsessed with pimping EV.

And I haven't made any new Amazon ads this last week. 

I tell myself pimping on FB is marketing. But I know I need to do more than that to get noticed. And Ads are forever--or at least as long as I renew them. Ads work 24/7 and don't get buried by other posts. I'm resoluting to do them even though I don't do resolutions themselves. 

Next book up in my writing queue is Book 4 (wind whisperer)of Elemental Voice. 

If you haven't already please check out the books I have out of the Elemental Voice series. 

At least the first book. It was as I say below the first book I wrote.
