In Death Prayer Serenity/Camil is seen in one scene, and I loved the mystery around her that I wrote Frozen Moment. This book is about her, and when she is witch I call her Serenity, when she becomes the Pheonix I call her Camil so when they exist in the same time period which does happen, it makes it easier to know who is who. Also she has to hid her identiy from those she may potentially meet in the future, so she has to take a different name to give to those in the past.
Frozen Moment is about the pheonix Serentiy/Camil, and the people, or person, (hard to explain in so few words) who is chasing her through out time in an atempt to take and keep the power of the pheonix. They just don’t know the real power of the Gaurdians of Time, the great Pheonix’s.
I like both names, and think that Serenity will dominate the book, since it is her name first, but Camil will be the name she uses to hid from the vampire she will fall in love with, while he will fall in love with Camil and before either of them know what is going on her will be drug into the whole mess and have to hid in time like she is, not only to save her, but to save him self and to realize that a mage can become a vampire, for he sees himself a one, and that brings about a whole new dilema, for he is a hunter of said creatures of the world. It is looking to get so much stronger in drama before the end is seen. Though when that end will be for Marick, mage or vampire and Serenity/Camil mage or pheonix will all depend on the time period they find them selves in at the end. It will be so full of deception and time trickery that it will be fun to finish. I am re-writting the begaining of the book right now, and clarifying the Serenity/Camil name change, but the story line is so fun and wonderful that I can’t not leave the end the way it is. I jsut hope I can make it as good if not better than Death Prayer.
I bring the world I see in my head to life upon a page, and that world is so vivid and full of fun, it is hard to know which parts are one world and which are the next.
I also write historical fiction, and have put my current piece on the shelf to collect dust and give my mind a chance to let it get lost in the currents of my mind so when I puck it up again I am picking up a book I hardly remember, then I can bring a more reader point of view to the book, and hopefully I can take the writter in me and make the reader in me happy. It is probably a useless attempt to make my work better. But sometimes when it has collected enough dust, I will realize I missed something that is very important to the story. I try never to leave out things that are needed, unless that is my intention to highten the suspence.
The books are all comming along well, but I still am trying to keep the story lines strait. From one world to the next I jump yet seem to love every moment of it.
