Zoe Forward So glad you brought this up. This is the 7th Pleiades descendant whom we haven't met yet in any of the books. But her story is coming, hopefully next year.
Zoe Forward We writers all have low days...and high days. As writers we take risks. Sometimes we're not sure about them or we'll have critics who are tough on us.…moreWe writers all have low days...and high days. As writers we take risks. Sometimes we're not sure about them or we'll have critics who are tough on us. But we have to write what works, and what the characters need for us to write. In my genre people sometimes expect the writing to fit into a certain and exact model. However, I try to push the limits by writing about new kinds of supernatural creatures and weave in interesting and new stories. It requires a lot of world building and a lot of research, especially for my Greek Gods in the Keepers of the Veil (witch) series. And, it's just so much fun. So, there are tough days when I get lost. No doubt.
That's why it's important to have a team on your side such as a writing partner or two who understand and can help you remember why we do this...because it's what we love.(less)

Okay this concept was SO fun. A girl who is totally obsessed with a broody vampire from a TV show suddenly finds herself actually communicating with him, and then stepping into his dangerous fantasy world? I was hooked.

"Did you just curse me?”
Zoe Forward, Protecting His Witch

“I’ll shoot,” she murmured against his rock-solid pecs, burrowing the muzzle of her Glock into his abdomen.
“Go ahead, sweetheart. Add it to the tally for the night. It’ll sting like a bitch, but I guarantee it won’t kill me.”
Zoe Forward, Dawn of a Dark Knight

to get there.”
