Hi, Marina! Yes, I'm currently working on the third book in the BB Chronicles, and it is scheduled for a November release. Thus far there are six books planned in total for Vicki's adventures, so I hope you'll stick around and catch them all. Vicki's life is about to get interesting (if it hasn't been enough already). Thanks so much for reading! --D

Thanks for the question, Garland! "Rising from the Darkness" is currently a work in progress and is slated for release late 2014/early 2015. In the meantime, you can check in over on my blog to read the first and second chapter sneak peeks.

WRITING!
No seriously, if it weren't for the ability to write, my head would literally explode. There's so much rattling around up there, haunting me at every turn, that writing has become an outlet that frees my mind from turmoil and torment. Writing is my catharsis.
Now from what, I'll let you decide. :-o

Too many things! I just finished the first draft of a non-fiction book for indie authors and how to inspire reviewers to want to read/review your novel. Then I'm in the middle of the third and final book to the Deepest Darkness series, which fans have been anxiously awaiting. Finally I've started a new cozy mystery series that's been a lot of fun writing. The new series will be shorter stories, more of a cross between a novella and a short novel length book.
I hope readers will be interested in trying something new from me.

In so many instances, I take experiences from my own life, from situations, emotional elements, and people I know. Then I roll it all up and see what lands in the right spot. My dreams are also extremely vivid and provide a ton of fodder for my pen. I've got a paranormal series just waiting to be written from very creepy dreams I've had over the last couple of years.
Sometimes writing fake book blurbs brings the muse to the forefront, and then I'm all over that. I just finished the first draft of a non-fiction book for indie authors that involves how to grab a reviewer's attention and make them want to read your book. For examples, I wrote several different book blurbs as part of this exercise and a few inspired further development.
I don't think there's any way I'll ever get all of my ideas on paper, but it's still fun to play!
