Prequel to "My Heart Still Beats Your Name"

Ahh, Friday! I’m currently kicking back and enjoying the end of the week. I plan to add a few more words to both manuscripts before the evening ends.

The prequel to “My Heart Still Beats Your Name” is now flowing smoothly. For some reason a few weeks ago, I could not find the words for this story. Ideas were clear in my mind; however, the words were not flowing at all. I know this one will take a few months or so to complete. I’m currently at 2,000 words, and believe I have mastered working with several different projects at once. As ideas present themselves, I title and save them to a folder on my computer. Research is also a requirement for this read since it is set in the 18th century.

I truly believe this will be an awesome read! The prequel and sequel (yes, I'm definitely creating a trilogy) will extend well past the 20,005 mark of the first Novella. Once all works in progress have been released, they will make for an explosive trilogy! I have included a few twisted plots that will not only intrigue readers with the history of this family; it will leave them wanting to learn more of each character whom I have placed on special pedestals. (They are very special to me) The sequel will be awesome; however, I’m planning to leave an opening for a fourth installment for future generations of the family. Yeaahhhh! That remains to be seen. ; )

Spirit Walker Part 1 - A Free Read

Spirit Walker will soon be found on http://www.longandshortreviews.com/WC/index.htm. To accomodate the site, it has been reduced from 1,666 words to 1,000 words, which I have saved to a folder on my computer.

New Stories

Hello All. Originally, I wanted to create a short story to post to this blog, for entertainment purposes. Well, this story has blossomed into 3,392 words over the weekend. I'm excited, and have decided to walk away from the computer. After updating my blog, I'm closing out and going to bed! If not, I will remain awake until the crack of dawn. Everything is flowing naturally, and I find that absolutely awesome!

I'm still seeking a free read for my blog, hopefully it will flow like the story I'm working on. If I keep this pace up, it is quite possible for me to submit this by the end of the month. At least, that is the goal.

I'm also fighting the urge not to brew coffee.

Goodnight!

Another Story Brewing In My Head

An excerpt of "My Heart Still Beats Your Name," will arrive on Eirelander Publishing's site when ready. My editor informs me it will actually be sent to edits in September, which is not too far off.

The prequel is in the making. Unfortunately, it isn't flowing as smoothly as I thought it would. Although I have a page, it seems as though I will need to rearrange a few things. Something appears to be missing.

Anyway, another story howls in my head like a wolf howling at the moon! I have actually written a page, have the title, plot, setting, and characters. This was supposed to be a short creation for my blog for entertainment purposes, however, it appears as though this story is taking on a life of it's own. My muse is working overtime tonight, filling my head with many thoughts. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Writing this may take several months, however, at the rate I'm going it may only take a few weeks if I write five or more pages per day.

Off to brew a pot of coffee....

Awaiting Editing

I have not had a chance to update my blog in quite a few days. I have completed the polished version of the manuscript for "My Heart Still Beats Your Name." My editor, Lee, of Eirelander Publishing will notify me of any necessary changes. I'm eager to make things happen; after all, this will be my first published book. You may see my author bio here: http://eirelanderpublishing.com/CharismaKnight.aspx

What I enjoy most about writing is creating my outline of characters, setting, and focusing on the plot. When I have everything on paper, or in Word I let things marinate for a day or so. Once my words start to flow, it seems as though my muse is working overtime! This is when I'm awake until 2 a.m. because my characters refuse to let me rest!

"My Heart Still Beats Your Name"

Hello, welcome to my blog. I'm Charisma Knight, author of "My Heart Still Beats Your Name.” This book is due to be published in March 2010 through Eirelander Publishing, with a prequel and sequel to follow!

This is a wonderful opportunity to share my creative and adventurous side with readers of the Paranormal Erotic Genres. As a teenager, I was always attracted to vampires, fantasy worlds, and reincarnation. Watching these movies caused me to drift off into my fantasy world, wondering what occurred after that eternal kiss!
In my world, these beautiful, exotic creatures exist in The Realm of the Beyond, penetrating our world when called upon. Some struggle between good and evil, while others helplessly give into the darkness, forever damning their immortal soul. Last, but not least, some possess a light within, willing to "greet the dawn" before harming another...These are my Immortal Warriors
