It's time for a Shadow Dance!




Moving the Shadow Riders stories to New York is exciting. Will I miss the Chicago Ferraros? Well, there really isn’t a lot to miss when they show up in New York. They’re there to help, especially Stefano who is close to his cousin Geno. It will be a great opportunity to show the bigger family dynamics as we see the Chicago Ferraro family alongside the New York Ferraros.



Of course, having two alpha males who are used to being the leader doesn’t always make for a smooth experience. What happens when they don’t agree? Especially with emotions high because someone is murdering shadow riders.

I am glad to finally be able to talk about Geno Ferraro’s past. You see how he grew up and why he is the way he is. And how he is with his brothers. Geno, like any of us, is both good and bad. What makes him one way or the other is complex and sometimes surprising. Like Stefano, loyalty is important to Geno. The fact that he believes other shadow riders are killing other shadow riders has a certain sharp edge of betrayal that Geno will be challenged with following the rules or giving into his need for his own brand of justice.



Amaranthe is such a different heroine. Her character is both soft and ruthless. It’s like she lives two different lives, but upon closer inspection they are actually very similar. As a worldclass ballet dancer she must train constantly, be strong and have incredible discipline. That’s how she became a famous dancer. And those traits are why she is an extraordinary shadow rider. One side is creative, beautiful and captivating. The other side is fearless, strong and ruthless.



As a couple Geno and Amaranthe have a rocky start. But once they join forces the only outcome they will accept is complete and total justice. Working together they are almost scary. It’s the emotions, the passion and newness of their relationship that make this dance challenging.

If you could choose between Chicago and New York, which city would you like to visit? I've been to both and love each city for different reasons. Let me know which you'd choose!
