As Liza has wrapped up her delicious Multiverses
series with the last story, Surviving Sojourn, and is all set to write a new
yet related spinoff series, The Search for Sentients, I thought this would be a
great time to talk about endings and new beginnings.
Putting on my reader hat, I’m always torn when a
series I love ends. On one hand, I know I’ll miss the characters and the world
the writer created. I’m also a bit worried that I won’t love the next series as
much as I love the current one. On the other hand, the next series could be
even better! Writers normally refine their craft with every story they write,
every series they plot. The odds that the next series will be even more
terrific is pretty darn good.
In Liza’s case, she’s already given us a hint that her
next series will be awesome. We know that characters will be searching for
sentients. Sentients, not merely humans. I’m super excited to read about the
different species the characters will discover, what they’ll look like, their
abilities, their goals.
Releasing Rage, my cyborg romance, is the first story
in a thrilling new series for me. This dark, sexy, and very intense series
explores the world of cyborgs, warriors who are half man and half machine. All
stories will be standalones (they can be read on their own or out of order).
They will each have a romance happy ever after for the couple featured in the
story. But, of course, there will be things in subsequent stories that only
readers of the previous stories will know. (grins) I’m tricksy that way.
How many stories will be in the Cyborg series? I don’t
yet know. Often I’ll have a set number. In my Warlords series, I knew I’d have
four stories (well, at first, I thought I would have three but then the villain
wanted his story told). With Cyborgs, I know I’ll have at least five stories.
Judging on the abundance of different cyborgs existing, every model having
different challenges and different strengths, I can’t foresee running out of
fresh, exciting stories any time soon. That thrills me as a writer.
How do you feel about series ending? Are there some
series you wish had gone on longer? Is there a series you are waiting for?

Releasing Rage
Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station's first female engineer, has one goal--survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage's priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg's heart for both love and revenge?

You are welcome any time.
DeleteBook 1 of your new series sounds fabulous!
I too adore Liza's stories. Surviving Sojourn was my favorite of the Sci-fiction set. I'm excited and nervous to read the next one but I'm sure Liza will tell a fabulous tale. Maybe there will be a mouse in it! She's been having one heck of a time with one at her house.
ReplyDeleteYour book cover is amazing and the series sounds great! All the best!
