Dark Sword & Dark Warriors series – what’s what?

Mar 28 2012, 9:00 am

I’ve had a ton of questions about the Dark Warriors series and why I ended the Dark Sword series. The last thing I want to do is confuse readers. So, I’ll attempt to make things clear without posting any kind of spoilers for those who might not have gotten caught up on the series.

First, let me thank all of you who joined me on the journey of my Highland Warriors and their Druid heroines. I so love the world of my Warriors and Druids, and without y’all I wouldn’t have been able to continue to discover these amazing characters.

You can read The Beginning for the Dark Sword series as well as learn the reading order, find wallpaper, and watch the amazing book trailers by clicking here.

The Dark Sword series does end with DARKEST HIGHLANDER. Sort of. The story line picks right back up with the first Dark Warriors book (Logan’s) MIDNIGHT’S MASTER followed the very next month by MIDNIGHT’S LOVER (Ian’s). From now on the Dark Warriors books will be released back to back every four months!

So yes, the series name has changed, but that’s because of everything that happens leading up to DARKEST HIGHLANDER as well as what happens at the end of the book.

I’ve gotten some emails regarding DARKEST HIGHLANDER. I know some of you are upset, and I apologize for that. I follow my characters wherever they take me, and most times I’m as surprised as you are by what happens. I didn’t understand why the characters had led me to such a scene, and it wasn’t until late in 2011 that it all came together and I finally understood why it had to happen.

There is so many great things coming in the Dark Warriors series that I’m bursting to tell y’all. But I hate spoilers, so I’m going to keep it to myself. All I can say is be prepared for a roller coaster ride that will leave you reeling!

But that’s not all. My publisher asked me to come up with another series that would be heavily connected to the DS/DW world. I, of course, jumped at the chance. The first Dark Kings books will be special eNovellas released in July, August, and September of this year.

You’ll begin to see mention of these new guys in the Dark Warriors series and vice versa. It isn’t too long before the guys from both series get together, and lord help the ladies when they do!

Here’s the 2012/2013 schedule for the Dark Warriors and Dark Kings books:

MIDNIGHT’S MASTER (Dark Warriors) – May 22, 2012
MIDNIGHT’S LOVER (Dark Warriors)- June 26, 2012
DARK CRAVING (Dark Kings) – July 31, 2012
NIGHT’S AWAKENING (Dark Kings) – August 28, 2012
DAWN’S DESIRE (Dark Kings) – September 25, 2012
MIDNIGHT’S SEDUCTION (Dark Warriors) – October 30, 2012
MIDNIGHT’S WARRIOR (Dark Warriors) – November 27, 2012

Title TBD (Dark Warriors) – June 2013
Title TBD (Dark Warriors) – July 2013
Title TBD (Dark Warriors) – November 2013
Title TBD (Dark Warriors) – December 2013

I hope this helps with an explanation. And yes, every Warrior will get to have his book.

I can’t wait for y’all to meet the guys from the Dark Kings. Let me just say yummmmmmmy!!

hugs,
D

New Release – A Kind of Magic

Mar 24 2012, 11:00 am

The second book in the Shield series in now available!

Buy links: Nook | Kindle | Smashwords | ARe

Greetings Dear Reader,

I was born an immortal prince on the realm of Thales. I lived the life of grandeur, revered and respected, but my one true love was fighting. I was given a special gift in my battle abilities and soon became known as Thales’ finest warrior. But all that changed the day my brother died and an evil descended upon my realm. With Thales on the verge of ruin, I bound myself to The Shields to protect the realms from the evil that ravages them. But I have a dark secret that I must atone for. Then and only then can I return to Thales and face my family. My special battle skills and my immortality help to keep my goals in front of me. They have always been clear…

Until Elle.

Elle makes me long for things I cannot have. Her innate goodness makes me want to grasp what she offers with both hands, but I know that we can never have what she seeks. Elle bears a mark that signals her one of a chosen few who were sent to Earth as infants. She and the others who bear the mark must be found and kept hidden from the ancient evil that seeks them, for they hold the key to the evil’s ruination.

The only way to keep Elle safe is to keep her by my side, but can I resist the temptation to take her love?

Roderick of Thales
