The End is in Sight! - Wrapping up a Trilogy

I never knew that when I sat down to write A Hundred Kisses seven years ago (in 2013), that it would grow into a trilogy. At the time, it was my fourth manuscript on my writing journey. I changed my century from the first three “practice” novels to the 13th century, spiced it up with paranormal elements, and threw my heart into it. Lo and behold, this time period happened to be the spark of the Scottish Wars of Independence, too. Go figure. I really did just pick a random year. 1296 sounded good to me.

That story snagged me a publisher!

Here I am four years later. The final book in the trilogy will be out this summer! A trilogy that had never been intended. Hey, you gotta follow the muse, right? After Alasdair and Deirdre’s story was published in A Hundred Kisses, inspiration struck—what about Simon and Gwyn’s (Deirdre’s parents) story? I was drawn to the mystique of the Norse/Vikings in Scotland. I dug deeper into the mystical Ancient culture of Deirdre’s kin. Henceforth came A Hundred Breaths, the prequel. By this point, I knew I needed to complete the story of the Ancients of the isles and the Scottish Clan MacCoinneach in a trilogy.

And now we have A Hundred Lies!

Cover and blurb time!

Do you need to read them all in order?

No.

Do you need to read them all?

No.

But can you?

Sure.

The trilogy spans three generations from 1263 to 1322 and weaves through the history of the time: Norse conquering (and the end of a powerful realm), Robert the Bruce and Scottish Wars of Independence, and lastly the aftermath and English revolts. I take you on a journey of three protagonists with powerful mystical abilities to heal wounds, feel life energies, and portend futures. Readers travel from the Highlands to the Western isles, to southern abbeys, and to the English border.

Each book is a STANDALONE. Yes, you can read them out of order. Heck, I published the middle book first! However, threads run through all three books, joining them into a trilogy. Likewise, characters from the books overlap. My hope is that readers will enjoy each for its own story but when you read all three, you’ll be rewarded with a solid trilogy. That’s any author’s hope, right?

Do I have a favorite?

Maybe. I’ll never tell.

Will you?

…

Water…Fire…and Wind.The mystical Ancients rely on the elements of the earth, but will their abilities be their downfall?
