Pacing: A Delicate Balancing Act

Pacing in a story that’s part romance and part thriller can be a delicate balance. Too fast and the romance is lost. Too slow and there’s nothing thrilling going on. In the Spell Caster Diaries, it became even more of an issue because I was essentially telling two stories at once—the history between the Merciers and the Red Witch along with the present action.

Book Excerpt

Dark Intent

Eyeing my cousin, I realized he’d grown soft. Laxity was a major issue for Locke men. They were gifted sorcerers, but most of them refused to take it to the extreme—or they wouldn’t embrace it at all.

Like my brother, Marsilius.

He was such a lightweight I questioned even his sexuality. At the moment, he was sulking in his room. Mars, as we called him, was Father’s greatest mistake. He was allowed to live with his human mom, but Father saved me. He saw my value and ripped me from my mother’s arms before she could ruin me.
