Zorn Warrior Series - My books


This Friday Kidnapping Casey is coming out! I'm very excited!!! The first book, Ral's Woman came out in September. Ariel was taken from Earth and she met an alien named Ral, a Warrior from Zorn. The next book, Kidnapping Casey is about Ral's brother Argernon. He gets sent to Earth to make sure the Zorn going there take WILLING human woman home to Zorn with them. Argernon meets Casey and he is willing to break to rules to take her home with him. I think it's obvious to what lengths he'll go to be with her since the name of the book tells you that... Kidnapping Casey.
.
I had written Kidnapping Casey between the time I signed my contract for Ral's Woman with Ellorascave and by the time Ral's Woman was released but I thought it was just going to be a work of love for me, a fun book to write, never really thinking I'd get a series out of it but I was sure dreaming hard. I wrote the third one, Tempting Rever about the time the reviews started coming in about Ral and this amazing thing happened. I got a lot of great reviews for Ral and a lot of positive feedback from readers. I was really leveled by it all, flattered, and touched. Being an unknown author with nothing behind me in the way of a publishing history, I never in a million years expected Ral's Woman to get that kind of welcome that it did. People were leaving feedback comments on Ellorascave and emailing me telling me they wanted to read more about Zorn, Ral's family, and even about his dad. I was floored and... happy dance doesn't cover it! I sent in Tempting Rever and a bit later I got the great news that Ellorascave picked up not only Kidnapping Casey but they took Tempting Rever too! (Wiping at tears... WOW... floored again) I had a series, Zorn Warriors!
.
I can't tell you how amazing it was. I used to dream about having a book out there, to make a go of my writing for real, and as much as I wanted it... I knew how tough it was trying to break into that world. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd have a series of books coming out... I would have asked you what you were taking... and politely suggested you decrease the dose. LOL. Dreams do come true and never say never because life has a way of surprising you in some of the best ways sometimes!!! Thanks to two editors having faith that Ral's Woman could sell, taking a chance on me and my book, and thanks to all the readers who wrote great reviews, bought the book, and took the time to give some typed out love for Ral's Woman... Kidnapping Casey is coming out FRIDAY!!! And soon... Tempting Rever will get a book cover and a release date!
.
I was really surprised when I got emails and read some comments asking about Hyvin Berrr, Ral's father. He played such a small part in Ariel and Ral's story that... I was just surprised that he grabbed so many people's attention. I always listen to what people say. LOL. Hyvin Berrr and those requests settled into my head and a story came to life about the leader of the planet Zorn and a human woman. I wrote the book. I haven't heard back anything yet but it's been submitted. (GRIN) So... cross your fingers. When I hear anything... I'll let you know.
