I've finally finished
writing and editing Sindriel's book. The sequel to Love's Demon Ways; readers
first met Sindriel in all his badass and naughty glory, as the one who helps
Ren and Alexine confront the evil succubus, Phaedra.

That's when I went out on
a limb and introduced Sindriel to Alexine's best friend, Miranda Contreras.
Readers also met her in
Love's Demon Ways, as Alexine's spunky cheering section. I doubt that Ren and
Alexine approved of my choice at first. Well, sometimes we authors have to piss
off our characters for their own wellbeing. I knew Miranda would make a good
equal to Sindriel. She has a way about her that would let her see Sindriel's
true nature and not just his demonic side. She's more than Sindriel expects and
everything he deserves.
While Love's Demon Ways
is a novella of 31K words; Sindriel and Miranda's story is double that at 67K+
words. Amidst the demon realms and conspiracies, Miranda will show her strength
to stand with her heart in the face of darkness.
So, where do we go from
here?
Well, it's time to write
that blurb and Synopsis, and get the story sent out to Siren-Bookstrand for
consideration. Am I confident or afraid? Both, but I've gotten used to the
feeling when it comes to submitting a book to a publisher.
I also need to come up
with cover ideas. Covers aren't easy, and I always stress over what I want to
convey to readers.
Titles, on the other
hand, are easier. In this case, the characters did the hard work for me, and
the book will be titled, SINDRIEL. (Unless, the publisher changes it on me)
I'll keep readers updated
on the progress as I go. Fingers crossed, on an acceptance letter.
Happy reading,
Mary Corrales
