Friday D. V. Stone and friends are visiting and talking about their latest release #MFRWAuthor #Pirate

 

1. Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

       Quartermaster is a paranormal pirate romance and a spin-off from the Walk the Walk series. Branko and his vampiress may be living their HEA as landlubbers but Patricia’s Wish sails on with Captain Teeth at the helm and Chub returning as Quartermaster. It’s 1725 and most of the pirates have taken pardons from the Spanish or English government. Teeth and Chub are on the hunt for treasure—not gold, but love. The sidekicks are ready to become heroes.

 

2. Where did the idea arise?

       I’m a homeschooling mom. I needed to teach the foundations of democracy to my then-10-year-old. From Hammurabi’s code in ancient Mesopotamia to the pirate parlay code, I found democracy was found in more places than in ancient Greece and the colonial USA. In fact, women and people of color had equal rights on the sea, but not on land in colonial America. I fell in love with the governing systems of what I always thought were “lawless scoundrels.” Every job aboard was a voted position from Captain to poop deck scrubber, and each person holding those positions had an equal vote. Pirate Captains were slave liberators and portrayed by villains because the ones losing money are the same men writing the history. The truth is buried in the shipping logs from the port masters and merchant boat Captains. I was fascinated!

 

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

     Quartermaster comes from a love of psychological warfare in the records of 1700s piracy. In the movies, pirates are portrayed as brainless sword-slashers when historically, they hardly ever boarded another vessel. They depended on their reputations to scare their opponents—easy when the general population was superstitious. I fell in love with the tales of Sam Bellamy taking the Whydah by making a pretend ghost ship, Blackbeard braiding firecrackers into his beard to appear possessed, and the rest of the shenanigans of the 4 years called the Golden Age of Pirates. While I wrote about this time period in the Walk the Walk series, Quartermaster takes place in 1725. Most of the pirates had taken pardons and retired from the sweet trade to a landlubbing life of agriculture or crime. I wondered what would happen if a boat refused to retire. They would be hated by the Spanish, English, and colonial Americans…

 

4. How long did you take to write the book?

        I wrote Quartermaster in a month. I was already half in love with Chub from his role in my other book series. I knew I wanted him to represent tough men who weren’t tall, dark, and classically handsome gentlemen. Chub is a 5 foot 5 inches tall, freckled, red-headed pirate with more brains than manners. What he brings to the table is a patient disposition, a talent for teaching, and a huge heart. He teaches the young crew how to sail, the Captain to read, and his lady love to trust again. I wanted his HEA so badly, the story wrote itself.

 

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

        This Aries sun/Taurus moon/Aquarius rising author started writing in 2018. I used to write books to be printed at our local office supply store, so my friends could read them after their homeschooled kids went to bed. We would meet for drinks and an informal book club to giggle over the dirty bits once a month. When the pandemic canceled my husband’s business travels, he found out about my “playing author.” Within his first 24 hours at home, I had a website, business cards, manuscript queries sent, and a membership to the Kentuckiana romance writers.

  6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

          I may bounce from pirates to cowboys to scientists to monsters, but all my books are paranormal. They say you must write what you know, and my life is too strange to write anything else.

1.      Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

 

Seeker is a medieval Scottish romance, part of a 7-book series about a magical mortar and pestle that brings true love to its holders. Castles…mythical creatures…to everyday adventurers, it has something for everyone. In Seeker, restless archer Aileana yearns for a target to prove her worth, but when a magical mortar and pestle spins its charm upon her and a rival clan’s son, winning the yearly tournament might mean the difference between war and peace, as well as risking her heart.

 

2.      Where did the idea arise?

 

Seeker came about from two minor characters in another one of my books in my historical trilogy (A Hundred Lies). I wondered: Wouldn’t Aileana (the spunky sister of the hero; she is adventurous and a very non-typical noblewoman of a magical family) and Brodie (a reserved, beta-hero who has a medical condition that prevents him from being war chieftain) make a great story of their own?

 

3.      How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

 

Thankfully my world was already built in my trilogy. However, I had to stay on point with the continuity and timeline, so it matched the other books in the series, since this story happens concurrently with one of them. And rabbit holes – yes! I spend hours down them all the time. Researching this and that – clothing, foods, archery, illnesses, herbal treatments, vernacular, medieval tournaments, and oh my so many strategy and tavern games of the 1300s. With historical books especially. For one of my previous books in the series, I visited an actual Viking ship since the Norse played predominantly in that story. I’ve also been to Scotland, and have visited countless castles.

 

4.      How long did you take to write the book?

 

Since it’s a novella (~150 pages or so), it was quick. Only a few months! This one came rather easily to me. That is not always the case.

 

5.      Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

 

I’ve been writing for over twenty years and have five books published. I’ve written about nine or ten though…I’m a Pisces and love the great outdoors. Although I’m not psychic, I am very true to my sign’s traits.

 

6.      Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

 

I write contemporary romance, women’s fiction, mainstream/commercial fiction, and historical romance (with paranormal elements).

Sea Hunter

By

D. V. Stone

Book Four of The Mortar & Pestle Series by various authors

 

1. Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

Hi, my name is D. V. Stone. I’m so happy to be here to talk about my latest book, Sea Hunter, which is part of a multi-author series of seven books tied together by a mystical mortar and pestle.

Sea Hunter is my first historical/paranormal/romance. It takes place after WWII and focuses on Zahra Corbyn and Jack Alexander in an enemy-to-lovers tale of the high seas.

 

2. Where did the idea arise?

I am part of an author support group. We came together as writers needing shoulders. Things like social media, marketing, writing craft, etc. Through that, ideas started percolating. We have quite different styles and backgrounds, but the center of us all is the creative. And, ta-da, the M&P series was born.

 

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

For Sea Hunter, I traveled to Maine and Massachusetts, visiting shipyards and museums. I even spoke with an underwater archeology conservator. I will say the most fun was researching the post-war vernacular. The slang of the time was a hoot.

 

4. How long did you take to write the book?

From concept to publication was about a year. I had other projects I’d committed to and needed to finish. Once they were done, Sea Hunter’s first draft took about a month. The rewrites, editing, and formatting filled the rest of the year.

 

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

My first book was independent and published in 2017. Since then, I’ve grown to nine books published or about to be. One is an anthology through The Wild Rose Press. My work is almost 50/50 between independent and traditional. My sun sign? Gemini.

 

6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

I’m split between Fantasy (both epic and contemporary), Paranormal, Contemporary Romantic Suspense, and Mid-Grade Paranormal. I wonder if that reflects my sun sign?

 

7. Where on the internet can you be found?

I’m all over. The best place to go is my website, but here are all the links

Thursday featured today is Writing Escape Book one of Affinities #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #fantasy #earth #fire #water #air

 When I began writing Escape, I realized from the fifty page of notes I'd written about the book, I had enough for more than one book. At the time, four of the main characters were based on my grandchildren. Their birthdays made each of them a different element. That formed the base of the story, Each child had talents in the elements of what I wrote. What I found is a bit interesting is that one of them has found his path in life as a plumber. One in talking to people and having a talent for music. A third is a gungho kind of person and the fourth is interested in athletics. When I finished what is the first book of the series, there remained much of the story to tell. Writing Escape was fun and sometimes hard since I had to remember which of the four elements steeered their actions and reactions. Many times while writing I ahd those bits of excitement and wanted to shout Yes. Following the four as they escaped from their home, sent out by their parents who sacrificed themselves. The four set off to find a place where they could learn to use their affinities. Along the way they met a fifth one whi had talents similar to theirs. When I ended this segment of the story, these characters and others who were their friends and acquaintances faced trouble in the future.

Healwoman Meet the Hero #MFRWHooks #BWLAuthor #Fantasy #healing #swords #sorcery #romance

 

Join the authors at #MFRWHooks here  http://mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com for some intriguing excerpts. Mine is found at eclecticwriter.blogspot.com and features the hero of Healwoman

BLURB:

 Born under a dark moon, Norna has to battle rumors that she is tainted by evil and unworthy of being anything more than a servant. Discarded by her mother, she runs away from her aunt, a priestess who wants her to enter the temple.

Instead, Norna chooses to be a Healwoman, and a chance encounter with a novice hoping to be a priest helps her discover she has talents of water, air and fire at her disposal. With these gifts she is called on to battle treachery and attempts to prevent the promised prophecy of the god and goddess. As she battles evil powers, she loses her heart to Shandor, the man she met when her journey first began. She must come to grips with Britha who plots against her. Shandor has his own enemy Vorgan. When the pair of foes unite, the battles begin.

Excerpt:

A pungent odor halted him.  Though he’d never seen a living firelion, when he’d been a student in the Gate of the Tutors, he’d seen drawings of the beasts.  He’d also smelled vials of the feline’s venom and would never forget the phosphor scent.  He also knew the danger of an attack.  Not only did the firelions use claw and teeth, their fangs contained a fluid that ate flesh.

He cautiously crept forward until he reached a small clearing.  The fire in the circle was dead.  A heap of cloth lay on the ground beyond the fire.  When he edged into the clearing, he realized the cloth was a shredded chameleon cloak.  The priest had curled into a protective ball and spared his face from wounds.  Shandor noted the claw marks and the patches of burned flesh on mid Chu’s arms, legs and back.

Shandor searched for water and found a small stream not far from the camp.  He filled a leather flask and returned to the priest.  With cloth torn from an extra tunic, he cleaned the wounds.

Mid Chu’s eyes opened.  “Vorgan came.  Bragged.  Your trophy.  Took token.  Left.  Firelion came.”

Shandor leaned closer.  “I’ll find a way to help you.”

“No time.  Go.  Find Vorgan.  I’ll live as long as I can.”

Shandor sucked in a breath.  How could he abandon the man who had been his mentor for his entire training with the Shadows?  Mid Chu would suffer an excruciating death.  Shandor didn’t know how the Healwomen treated such wounds, but he had to try.  As he worked, he saw signs of Vorgan’s hasty departure.  He thought of what the priest had said.  Had Vorgan driven the firelion to attack the priest?

After building a small fire, Shandor lifted the older man’s pack.  He was torn between following the priest’s order to catch Vorgan and staying to help.  How could he leave?  Where would he find help?  How could he transport mid Chu to where help could be found?

By midday, the priest’s condition had worsened.  Several clusters of small blisters had formed on the burned flesh.  Shandor wished he had more than a talent for calling fire.  Why hadn’t he watched his Healwoman mother as she worked?  Could he have learned what to do?  He’d been just five when he’d left Bethsada to join his father.

He put water to heat and added chocha leaves.  While a mug cooled, he drank some and set snares in the forest.  Then, he carried the warm beverage to the priest.  “Mid Chu, you must drink.”

The priest’s skin burned.  Shandor sank on his heels.  He had to find help.  If the priest died, there would be no witness to Vorgan’s duplicity.  That meant any chance to join the priesthood would be lost.  The nearest place was the temple, but no priestess of Midra would help a servant of Midran.  How could he leave his mentor unprotected while he hurried to the nearest posada?  If the firelion returned, the priest wouldn’t survive a second attack.

Tuesday's Writer's Tip - The Quest Plot #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Writing #Plot #Quest

 In the Quest Plot, the main character is searching for a person, a place of some object. The character will move from place to place in search of the desired object. During this quest, he or she will change. Perhaps the change will be positive or the change could be negative but the change is important in realizing the quest. When the character remains essentially the same, this is not a quest plot. Perhaps easy or hard to determine.

Quest plots are among my favorites. When I began the Affinities series, the four characters were searching to escape and find a teacher or a place where they could learn to hone their affinities with their element, earty, air, frie or water. This quest carries them through four books until they realize mastery oftheir talents. They emerge from the entire story as differemt. They are grownup, masters of their affinity and able to become the leaders they were intended to be.

Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #reading #writing #thoughts

 Meander 1 - Finished Roberta Grieves latest offering and enjoyed the story. With two heroines and slightly different time lines, the story flowed easily. Then Back to Anne Perry's Monk series that I'm re-reading and learning new things with each one.

Meander 2 - Thoughts - Sadly nothing changes. I certainly hope something will rid congress of the Santos man and his lies and nonsense will pass into merely a silly tale of a con man who recieved what he has earned. Then a special election should come about and no way will any Rep win. Just make the congress more equal. I'm sure there are other liars among those who were elected and perhaps life will become better.

Meander 3 - Writing - Had to start Home Caring over again but that's a good thing. Making the first chapter make sense as to time and flow is a good thing. Am half doneiwth the re-writes on  the first chapter and should have it flowing again by Monday. Then it will be full speed ahead.

D.V. Stone and friends are Visiting and talking about their coming release #MFRWAuthor #fantasy #paranormal #Viking

 

Thank you so much for hosting the Mortar & Pestle authors, Janet. I took a good, long look at your body of work on your eclectic writer website, and I’m very impressed by the scope and variety. I look forward to discovering a new writer.

 

My book releases March 21. It’s a paranormal romance, my first ever.

 

 

 

Tell me about your latest release, how you got the idea for the book, and the genre.

 

The idea for Revamped, my latest book, came about one afternoon when I was socializing with six other author friends––or mateys––as I’ve grown fond of calling them. Mind you, we weren’t at a happy hour in a restaurant.

We were all on Zoom.

By the way, I borrowed the term “matey” from my author bestie Marilyn Barr. I have six author besties in our Mortar & Pestle group. Over the past year and a half, the six of us got to know one another online as we discussed publishing, writing, marketing, and brainstormed our story ideas. I wouldn’t have written Revamped without my besties.

One day, when we were gathered around our computer screens, someone suggested we write a series together with a common element that travels through time. How we decided on a Mortar & Pestle, I don’t recall. We all came up with book proposals and chattered about them. It’s much easier to pop out ideas for a book than to write it.

Since my favorite books to read and write were women’s humorous romantic fiction, that’s what I said I’d write.

Until Sydney said, “Why don’t you throw in a little paranormal?”

“I don’t know anything about paranormal.” Thinking how ridiculous. “And I don’t like all that blood.”

“You make it all up. It’s your scene, jelly bean,” piped up Darlene. Or was it Jean? Or Marilyn?

“Your character can be an energy vampire,” said Donna. “No blood.”

“Yeah. No fuss, no mess,” Ginny laughed.

The truth is I don’t remember who said what, but the end result? I took the bait and invented a new world, different from the world I usually wrote in. What fun I had cooking up trouble for Dante, my energy vampire, and Sophie, his honey. And figuring out how the Mortar & Pestle would appear in the book and bring the two main characters together.

As a side bonus, I now find myself open to reading across many genres as I devour my mateys’ books.

The series starts with Sidney’s Selkie. I can’t wait to read her book. I’ve already read Jean’s Seeker, Marilyn’s Quartermaster, and D.V.’s Sea Hunter, all thoroughly researched. In fact, D.V. traveled to immerse herself in her research by climbing all over a ship off the coast of Massachusetts. Darlene’s Trickster was a hoot, and Ginny’s Artist comes next on my TBR pile. Our books are the three contemporary romances in the series.

 

 

How much research was involved in Revamped?

 

Not much. I read up on energy vampires and watched a few YouTube episodes of What We Do in the Shadows to learn about psychic vampires, called energy vampires in the book.  

 

Mostly, I had to create a world in which energy vampires were a thing and figure out how to reveal the world to the reader without info-dumping. I wanted my vampires to be able to go outside since they live in Florida, and I read that energy vampires aren’t affected by sunlight. So, that worked.

 

How long did you take to write the book? 

I think it took me three months to write, but I rewrote and edited for another two months afterward.

 

 

Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

I wrote short stories back when I was a teenager, wrote a book I self-pubbed but didn’t know how to promote, and that’s my story.

 

Sorry, but I have no idea what my sun sign is.

 

Do you write in a number of genres or stick to one? I write women’s fiction that’s heavy on romance. Revamped is my first paranormal story.

 

Where on the internet can you be found? Don’t forget to grab a copy of our FREE Prequel to The Mortar & Pestle series where you’ll meet all the characters I mentioned in the books above.

1. Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

 

Selkie is a fantasy viking romance set in 900 A.D. When Klaus’s bride is snatched on his wedding day, he makes the drastic choice to capture a powerful selkie and use her to barter for his bride back. However, he never expects to fall for the alluring selkie. But as the blood feud between clans creates tension, he might realize too late that he had everything he wanted by his side all along.

 

The Mortar & Pestle plays a big part in Selkie, symbolizing true love and complete sacrifice.

 

2. Where did the idea arise?

 

I already had some of the story mapped out in my head but didn’t quite have a use for it yet. When a group of authors proposed the Mortar & Pestle series, I knew this would be the perfect fit. I thought the idea of Selkies was something new and fun to write about, and pairing it with Vikings just made sense.

 

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

 

A frustrating among of research. I’m not normally a historical author, so when I write historical pieces, it really stretches my comfort zone, and I only hope to get everything correct by the end.

 

4. How long did you take to write the book?

 

About a month. Once I have an outline, I aim to write 1500 words a day. The editing takes longer, especially when I have to add, subtract, and polish. Overall, around three months.

 

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

 

I’ve been writing for about fifteen years. Though, only in the past three years have I focused on an actual publishing career. Leo is my Sun Sign.

 

6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

 

I read a ton of different genres, but I usually stick to writing fantasy and paranormal romance. Occasionally, I’ll write a historical, but it’s usually infused with a fantasy element.

Trickster is a contemporary romance with a mix of fantasy. Here's a teaser and the blurb...

 

Revamped with energy, the mortar and pestle materialize in Redford Falls. As smoke circles within the stone, orange flecks of glitter turn to green, strengthening its chosen path and setting its magic in the hands of a woman with eyes the colour of jadestone. She is the only one who has the gift to heal the man known as the trickster.

 

Can she heal a trickster before he breaks her heart?

 

Working for a top modeling agency is Jade Parsons’s dream job until her boss suffers a heart attack, and his son temporarily fills his position. Eric’s push-pull approach fuels her frustration. While anticipating the troublemaker’s imminent departure, Jade’s destiny is revealed through a magical mortar and pestle, leaving her heart tormented by whispers of a different fate.

 

World-renowned photographer Eric Martini returns home to restore his relationship with his estranged father, but wounds from the past haunt him. Enchanted by his father’s feisty assistant, he masks his heart and refuses to give in to desire. Convinced his destined future is already written in the stars—and doesn’t include Jade, Eric’s only choice is to walk away.

 

Will Jade and Eric find the courage to trust the mythical and smokey signs before their paths are severed forever?

 

2. Where did the idea arise?

Jade Parsons, the heroine, has appeared in two other books in my Redford Falls series, and I had a story planned for her, but when my group of writers brought up the idea of writing a series of books with a common link, Jade's story quickly came to life.

 

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

Because I was working within a series already developed, I only had to research some Italian and Indigenous language, but one always seems to fall into the proverbial rabbit hole of research. 

 

4. How long did you take to write the book?

 I started Trickster in April of 2022 and finished in October. I'm a slow writer.

 

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

I've been writing since my teens, but scripted my first full manuscript over fifteen years ago. I'm a Capricorn, and Capricorns can be incredibly hard on themselves and that trait is especially true with my writing, leading me to be persistent and determined.

 

6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

I tend to stick to contemporary romance on the sweet side, but I enjoyed mixing in fantasy. I've also slipped some mystery into some of my contemporary romances and have a mystery trilogy I'm hoping to write.
