The Donor House: In Depth

Type: supernatural fantasy AU

Vampires have always been something I was fascinated by and I wanted to write more about them, but not as alpha predators, although they do exist in my world. No, I wanted to show the outcasts, the vampires who never wanted to be changed, the vampires who did their best not to feed from humans unless they were willing donors, the vampires who found themselves searching the world for somewhere they could call home. The creators of the Donor House were vampires just like that, as are the majority of the vampires who chose to go the the House. Unfortunately not everyone is happy with the fact the House exists - humans and vampires agreeing on something, for very different reasons. The humans against the House think that bribing, mostly, young adults with money they could never get any other way is immoral, and are doing their best to get it closed down to protect the donors (or so they say). The vampires against the House never wanted all of the outcasts to band together, viewing them as lesser creatures because they won't embrace what they've become.

The Fae World: In Depth

Type: fantasy, alternate Earth, other worlds

One of my largest collections in terms of settings, with only the World Walkers having more, which also means there are a lot of characters. Some are on Earth, where one group of the fae ended up, along with some of the shifters and the mer people; some are on Kalinia, which has become home to the Magicians, now that it has regained some of its magic after what the fae did it; and others are on numerous other worlds, ranging from the world the griffins ended up on to worlds that have become real because of the magic the fae brought with them when they travelled to Earth. I still have plans for another couple of settings in this collection, so it's likely to become even bigger, and I can't help wondering if a couple of the other worlds might fit in to this collection somehow, although I shouldn't think that everything happened because of the fae. They have been the cause of a lot of problems, in part due to their insistence on experimenting at times and curtailing these experiments when they feel that they don't have enough control over what's happening.

Aurora’s World: Atecia: Aurora: A Death in the Family

This entry is part 23 of 35 in the Aurora's World collection

Aurora had always known that her father was a magic user, even though there were people who said, loudly, that telling a six-year-old the truth about what had happened was a mistake. She heard them all, because they seemed to think she was oblivious to what was happening around her, but she wasn’t. Being young didn’t make someone stupid and yet that was what everyone seemed to assume. They thought she was too young for the truth, as though she wouldn’t learn their version of the truth anyway, once they stopped criticising her mother and started gossipping about her father instead. Fortunately, by then, thanks to her mother’s belief that she was old enough to understand what was happening, she already knew what had happened.

Aurora’s World: Atecia: Aurora: A Night with Harrison

This entry is part 26 of 36 in the Aurora's World collection

Aurora never really meant to keep the job she’d inherited from her mother a secret from Harrison. Magic just wasn’t a subject that got brought up in regular conversation. It was safer that way. Talking about magic could be enough to get you executed, especially if you knew too much about it, because the King was paranoid. He truly believed that all magic users were dangerous, which was why he’d been able to let someone take his second son to the mountains to die as he was meant to be the son who always had magic. She knew that it was a subject she was more knowledgeable about then anyone else in the kingdom, so she had to be very careful not to say the wrong thing, even when she was with someone she trusted the way she trusted Harrison.

Heliopath’s World: Ildieu: Falcon: Kestrel’s Kidnap

I really enjoy it when characters surprise me and this was something that I really wasn’t expecting when I started writing Falcon’s point of view.

No one knew. It was safer that way for both of them. Yet, by protecting Kestrel, Falcon had made her a target. Unfortunately that was part of the game he’d been playing since his father had decided it was time to move on. The same game his father, his grandfather and his great-grandfather had been playing, since the creation of the Black Hollow. Everyone saw him as someone who had taken the position his older brothers should have had, because they didn’t know why the Hollow had been created in the first place or that some mages from the outside had chosen to enter Ildieu long after it was created.
