She’s Dreaming
Gateway to Kalethia was a story that I have written and scrapped so many times that I thought it would never get done. In the end my daughter Emily got the name The Diamond Rose tattooed across her sternum to get me to hurry up and finish writing the damn story. She’d like you all to believe she was the one who came up with the concept of the whole story—she’s dreaming—in fact, she only came up with two of the character names and one of them is dead before the story even starts.
This story was born because I love writing and I especially love writing paranormal and the concept of there being gateways to another plane of existence has always intrigued me. I also like putting my own twist on the story so things are never quite what they seem. I’m not a plotter—usually I just sit in front of the computer and write whatever falls out of my head on any given day… though lately I’ve been finding myself when I’m not on the computer with a stack of foolscap/loose leaf paper and madly scribbling out notes on various stories. I’ve already got pints I want to cover in book two: So Pretty on the Outside. I just have to decide which characters I want to write about—Tori & Darkan—Brannan & Ollian—Wynn & ??? I’m hoping the characters work out who is next in line. Right now they’re all talking to me at once and it’s utter chaos inside my head.
