Wilding Heart

So it's official. The third and (hopefully) final Fae Tales book, Wilding Heart, is set to be released on July 29. You can check out an excerpt here: http://bit.ly/QQBuNE





I'm still a bit bemused when it comes to my faery tales. They are romantic (as opposed to erotic), silly and fluffy most of the time, and without any real purpose beyond escapism. So why do people like them so well?





I've been told it's partly because of that fluff brained sort of humor. I have to admit I have fun writing them. The first (Faery Tail http://bit.ly/Qtxa4Q ) was something of an accident. I starting writing "chapters" simply as a running joke for a friend and discovered that, somewhere along the way, I'd developed a plot. It's a contagious thing (no known cure for it that I know of beyond finishing the book)





The second (Griffin Feathers http://bit.ly/S11ias ) was written quite simply to assure several people that I hadn't killed off one of their favorite characters. Damien has his own charm but I love Eithné and all her quirks and temper. And I had to meet his mom. She's cool...





Wilding Heart was written for me. I've been curious about Carradoc since I mentioned him in the first book. Melody is, quite simply, one of those people everyone likes. Happy and easy going and without all the drama so many people think makes them interesting. Not to mention that I started a war I didn't finish. And a love story involving Lady Luck and a Fairy Prince. Longer than the first two, it covers two love stories, a war, several coronations and a few Cymric Myths.
