With the prequel to the upcoming Archivist Series waiting for Michael’s notes – he is my first beta reader after I complete the third draft, which I did yesterday – I get to spend the day (week) brainstorming and outlining Archivist 1!
Let’s just say that spilling multiple cups of coffee all over herself is, unfortunately, going to be the highpoint of Dusk’s first week as the head curator for the magical archives at [redacted].
But don’t worry, dragons don’t burn easily.
Just FYI, because I’m already fielding questions (which is totally, completely cool), the Archivist Series is set in the Adept Universe but built around entirely new characters. There will be no MAJOR crossovers. As the writer/creator, I retain the right to change my mind at any point, of course. But only if it benefits the plot. (Read: Jade is too powerful to just pop into other books/series for no reason). It’s best to assume that each series is completely separate moving forward with the exception of the Misfits books. Thank you for hanging out with me on this multi-branched journey!!
Can’t wait for these books!
Yay! I’m so glad.
I love the original titles brainstormed in your 2018 post. Sounds like an outline for still another series… ?? Yes
Funny! I didn’t noticed that my blog had automatically linked to that post. I doubt I’ll use those titles. They were good for brainstorming though.
Loving the sound of this series. Will definitely be on my “must buy” list. About crossovers I’m still very hopeful that Jade shows up in the Amplifier series, especially now that Emma knows there are beings out there so more powerful then her that she is practically beneath their notice. (Rubbing hands together in glee)
As my note above, Jade will NOT crossover into the Amplifier Series any time soon. She and Emma are far too powerful to be paired together, and there MUST be a logical plot reason for such pairings/crossovers to occur. The only exception right now is the Misfits series. Cameos will continue to occur in those books, but Jade will NOT be a main character. Jade books are Dowser Series books.
Also, Emma is certainly not ‘beneath’ anyone’s notice. Hence the mention of ‘San Francisco’. And that was before the events of Amplifier 4 unfolded. Just FYI. Moving forward, Emma will need to be very, very careful about what attention she draws and how she does so. That’s is, of course, part of the reason she’s been hiding out in a small town. The ‘rumours’ she’s been told her entire life have just now been confirmed.
I will follow you anywhere!! Your books are the greatest enjoyment in my life!
Mary!!! ❤️
I love your work
You have never let me down on any series and I don’t expect you will in this new series. That I am already happy dancing in anticipation is a given. I hope the headaches are getting better and going away so chocolate can again be apart of your life on a daily basis.
❤️❤️❤️
So looking forward to the new series and thank you for the glimpses into the Emma/Jade situation. 😉
😊
I really enjoy these snippets into your mind/creative process! It kinda makes your books more personal. Thanks for sharing in so many different ways!
Thank you for reading! (And playing along with me).
Another series I know I will love!
And while I hope a crossover happens eventually, It’s only because I know how important your characters and world building are to you. If it does happen, it’ll be great and dreadful for everyone involved and it won’t be a “just because” reason. Which makes any crossovers special. I trust your judgment. ^_^
I honestly wouldn’t mind Christopher and Rochelle meeting, cause bonding over Vision Life. And also because I have no idea what would happen with two Seers in a room. XD
