I HAVE ZERO CHILL! I know it’s Saturday, but y’all—this week has been a whole year, and I need to focus on some positive things. So GOOD NEWS and later, more good news. But first, I am breaking plan and posting this happy news today via this amazing—if I do say so myself—reel. READY?
I’m thrilled to announce I have signed a contract with Sunrise Publishing to write a new spinoff series. The DISCARDED HEROES: SCIONS will be a three-book series, all releasing in 2026, rapid-fire style. Buckle up and get ready, y’all!!
HERE WE GOOOOO!!
Take a jump in time with me, friends, because the series is set twenty-five years after the events of FIRETHORN. The first book will feature Dante, son of Legend (Firethorn), and McKenna, daughter of Cowboy (Digitalis). I’m about a third of the way through this book, and it’s so fun!! Up next will be Owen Metcalfe, then Dillon Jacobs.
When Susie first approached me about writing another series with Sunrise, I honestly had zero ideas that got me excited. Y’all know that in 2022/2023, I stepped back from contracts to heal and find some peace, so I wasn’t sure if I should accept the invitation, especially with no exciting inspiration . . .
BUT THEN REL! My dear friend Rel Mollet reminded me that a few years back she and I tossed around the idea of a series about the Nightshade kids. Can you imagine seeing what Max’s son is like, innocently gifted with that inner tempest? Or Canyon’s son and the Metcalfe blues (IYKYK)? What about adorably sweet McKenna? Or Dante who lived in the very large shadow of his dad? SO. MUCH. FUN!! What do you think? Are you as excited as me?
