| What
order were the stories published? "Falling for Anthony" in Hot Spell (Nov 2005) Demon Angel (Jan 2007) "Paradise" in Wild Thing (May 2007) Demon Moon (June 2007) Demon Night (Feb 2008) "Thicker Than Blood" in First Blood (Aug 2008) Demon Bound (Nov 2008) Although most of Demon Angel's Part One takes place before "Falling for Anthony," the chronological order of the stories is the same as the publishing order. Should they be read in order? Do they stand alone? They don't have to be. The events within each book do have an impact on the characters in succeeding books, but I've avoided spoilers as much as possible and given the necessary background and setup in each book so that if you start in the middle of the series, or skip one, you won't be lost. There are overarching sub-plots between the books in the series that are referenced -- but everything necessary for a reader to know from previous books is explained in the storyline, and each story has a self-contained plot which can be read on its own. If you are starting in the middle of the series, and want to have an overview of the story arc so far with only mild spoilers, you might want to take a look at my "The Story So Far" section of the Guardian Primer. You can choose which book to start with, and discover what you need to know going into that story. I would say that Demon Angel and Demon Moon are the most closely linked, and the characters in Demon Moon have been deeply influenced by events within Demon Angel. Even so, both novels stand alone well. Are they historical or contemporary? "Falling for Anthony" is a Regency-set paranormal. The first part of Demon Angel is set in medieval England, with vignettes from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries -- but the majority of the story is contemporary. All of the other stories are contemporary. What is coming next? First Blood, an anthology including my novella, "Thicker Than Blood," will be out in August 2008; Demon Bound will be out in November, 2008. How long will the series be? I have a complete story arc in mind, which will span eight full-length novels. (This is subject to change, depending upon creative impulse and publishing schedules.) Who/What are the Guardians? For a look at the Guardians, their history and their mission, please visit my Guardian Primer (which includes character bios, a series overview, and a glossary) or the Doyen Scrolls page (which gives a brief history and other information using the words of the Scrolls and my characters). How do you pronounce Caelum? KYE-lum (it rhymes with phylum, and has a hard 'C') |
