My next novel, Birdwoman 2 (Quest for the Stone), is in the publisher’s hands.Īs I’ve honed my craft over the past eight years, I’ve become increasingly interested in the cosmology aspect. Nonetheless, I have stuck by my hybrids, and the gifted, strongly sexed sirens in my novels are very human and endure tortuous human problems, particularly around the issue of reproduction. Perhaps modern readers would be more accepting of an over-sexed heroine if she was partly paranormal? When I published Home Schooling: The Fire Night Ball in 2012, I expect Hardy was spinning in his grave. ![]() It occurred to me, several drafts/years into the process, that a destructive sex drive is part of the siren mythology. I was struck by how Hardy evidently hates his sexually assertive and selfish heroine, as do many readers. Believe it or not, I was modeling the plot and setting for my first fiction attempt on Hardy’s Return of the Native. I started writing novels in 2008, but my first pass was about as far afield from paranormal as one could get. When/how did you begin writing paranormal novels? And why paranormal? What does the genre, in particular, open up for the writer/reader?. ![]()
