The first book in my new series is coming to a close. This is always satisfying, especially when I am planning a second book to follow. The Kavin Cut Chronicles book 1 should hit the virtual shelves some time around the first of the year.
Kavin Cut’s Ring True is a fantasy romance, inspired by a cover my cover artist made and put out for any author to purchase. It starts with a chant on a meadow before a wooded area. There’s a legend that goes with the chant, but it has always required the person saying it to be in some sort of danger. The woods offer sanctuary to anyone who needs it.
Seems a safe bet that if people sing the chant and no danger races behind them, no worries. Or better, don’t say the chant at all but be around someone who does, still no worries.
Either the white oaks of Kavin know something Kambry doesn’t or she’s the answer to a conflict within the innocuous woods. One thing the legend was certain about: whoever the Kavin Cut opens to never returns.
And why would they want to? There’s always that danger they ran from lurking in wait. Except for Kambry who found her danger within.
That’s how this story began back at the start of August.
Each of my series has had its own unique inspiration.
- Students of Jump (Time Travel): the song “Just Dropped in (To See What Condition my Condition Was In)” by Kenny Rogers and the first Edition.
- Standing Stone (Fantasy Magic): A blog post for a friend about how the rules of magic guide the story.
- Solstice Dragon World (Fantasy with dragons and romance): a conversation with my husband about dragon novels. We started brainstorming and had three stories mapped out in just a few hours.
- Kavin Cut Chronicles (Fantasy Romance): a pre-made cover that would not let my imagination ignore it.
I wasn’t sure Ring True would end up a series, but coming to the end of writing it has proven there is more going on here than a wayward legend and the prince of Kavin Wood behind it.
