In a slightly more unusual move, I thought I'd write a post
on what The Witching Pen trilogy is all about, for anyone that hasn't
come across it yet. I'm going to keep it short, because I'm appallingly bad at
talking up my books!
First off, this is a paranormal romance series. There's
steaminess in there, oh yes! But there's also a damn fine plot, which begins to
unravel in book one, and truly takes off in book two. In this respect, urban
fantasy lovers may enjoy the series as well as paranormal romance lovers, as
long as they don't mind that the stories do contain those sexual interactions.
When I first started to write the series, I had a vision of
something like Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the TV series),
only in book form, and without the vampires. I wanted the characters to have a
similar kind of banter; a similar kind of integration with each other. I wanted
it fast-paced and action-packed, as if you're watching it on the television.
Unlike a lot of paranormal romance books, you won't find
that each book in the series is very samey. This is because every character and
every couple are different with different needs and wants, and that's reflected
in the stories: book one is quite light and fun, because that's what the main
characters call for, and book two is more dark and gritty, although no less fun
(I like my tongue-in-cheek humour).
What's the series about? It's about a pen that can write the
future, and the true purpose of its creation; it's about angels and demons;
it's about magic; it's about sex and love, and what can be gained and lost from
both; it's about acceptance and sacrifice, and it's about bonds that cannot be
broken.
So there you have it – I'm going to stop now ;)
I'll leave you with a little treat I whizzed up for fans of
the series: a FREE short story that gives us more insight into Karl and Elena's
relationship (we meet them in book one, The Witching Pen). Although the
series is written for adults, this short story is suitable for YA readers. You

Enjoy, and thanks for reading :)
