New covers for the Fate –
Fire – Shifter – Dragon universe! From Games of Fate all the way to Silent, all titles in the FFSD universe now feature the
beast himself, Dragon.
The Fate – Fire – Shifter – Dragon universe:
Do you trust me? Do you
trust yourself?
Ghouls called Burners see Rysa Torres as their
savior. The past-, present-, and future-seeing Fates see her as the ultimate weapon against the coming apocalypse.
The Shifters just want her dead.
But Rysa is much more than
the overwhelmed young woman Ladon and his companion beast, Dragon, find. She
sees beyond the weight of the burdens he carries.
She is his key to
forgiveness.
The Fate - Fire - Shifter - Dragon Series:
New
Adult Science Fiction Romance
The Fate - Fire - Shifter - Dragon series takes Rysa and Ladon—and
Ladon’s companion beast, Dragon—through a landscape punctuated by unfamiliar
creatures:
Fates
with the ability to see past, present, and future.
Ghouls called Burners
who devour with fire and acid.
Shifters who shape much more than their bodies.
And two dragons who speak
with color and pattern.
If you’re new to the FFSD universe, start with Games of Fate:
Rysa Torres stumbles through life an
overwhelmed young woman fighting against her Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
She can’t get a handle on the world, no matter how she tries.
But when monsters activate a
part of her she didn’t know she had, Rysa becomes the Fate at the center of an
epic battle against a terrifying future—and a world consumed by fire.
When Ladon and his companion beast, Dragon,
find Rysa, they see only the potential hell a young Fate might unleash into
their lives. But Ladon quickly realizes Rysa is much more than the daughter of
an old enemy—she is his key to forgiveness.
With the threat of a burning
future distorting Rysa’s Fate abilities, she sees only two options: End her own
life, or watch Ladon, the only man to see beyond her attention issues and love
her for who she is, die. Will they accept the only future they see, or will
they find the strength to break the bonds of fate?

Or, if you’re looking to start with a shorter title,
you don’t need to have read the Activation Trilogy to enjoy Bonds (#4.1):
Daisy Reynolds might be
taller and more athletic than the average seventeen-year-old, but she doesn’t
make waves. Hiding from her klepto mom’s terrifying Shifter ex-boss makes an
invisible life necessary. But when a Burner—a chaos ghoul—gets a whiff of
Daisy, hiding turns into running for her life.
Daisy soon realizes the
conflicts around her run deeper than nasty ghouls and mean Shifters looking to
beat up her mom. Future-seeing Fates want a piece of her, too.
But some fates cannot be
escaped unless you have courage… and an unlikely ally.
Just released: Silent
(#4.3)
As a child, a horrendous
accident stole Gavin Bower’s hearing. Now, he lives his life and works hard to
make it into medical school. But the night the Burners come for his best
friend, Gavin suddenly finds himself drowning in a new world of Fates,
Shifters, and Burners—until Daisy Reynolds Pavlovich saves his life.
While Gavin’s best friend,
Rysa Torres, fights for her life three states away, Gavin and Daisy fight their
own battle. Together, they realize Gavin holds a gift that could save Daisy’s
mother. And together, they work to take down the most powerful Shifter
syndicate on the planet.

Why cover updates?
The next trilogy begins in
early 2015 with the coming release of All
But Human and ramps up the science fiction aspects of the universe. Now
seemed the best time to rebrand the series genre-wise.
Tell us a little more about the beast on the cover.
Brother-Dragon – “Dragon” to
Ladon and Rysa – graces the cover of the Activation Trilogy covers. Only two immortal,
six-taloned dragons walk the Earth. To some, they are Brother-Dragon and
Sister-Dragon. To others, they are the Great Sir and the Great Lady. No matter
what they are called, they are always fiercely protective of the humans they
love.
They live psychically bonded
to their humans, Ladon and AnnaBelinda. For everyone else, they communicate by
using their six fingered version of American Sign Language.
How would you describe Ladon’s connection to Dragon?
Like all long-term
relationships, it’s complicated. Ladon and Dragon are, in many ways, an old
married couple. They picker. They argue. But at the end of the day, they would
do anything for each other.
How does Rysa fit into Ladon and Dragon’s bound?
I think this quote from Flux of Skin sums it up pretty
well:
“You loved many women more
than you loved Charlotte.” Sister’s hand moved, waving in a slow arc through
the air in front of her. “Why is she
different?”
Why? Beautiful Rysa loved him more than any other woman.
For the first time in his
life, he felt like a man. “She makes me feel human.” A real, living, breathing
man, one worthy of a woman’s warm touches. Of her beautiful smile and the
brilliant acceptance she gave him with an open heart and a clear conscience. He
felt alive.
“You are Human.” Sister sniffed
and shook her head. She nodded backward. Sister-Dragon must be squatting on the
gravel next to the van, silent. Still in vigil.
Yes, he was Human. They were
both Human to their beasts’ Dragon, and they’d lived as such through the rise
and fall of multiple civilizations. Human and Dragon, leaders of a Roman legion
so deadly and elite the Emperors hid it from history. Warriors so terrifying
the normals always shrank away. He and his sister were Human, but they were not
human.
But now, in this modern world,
he’d been forgiven his sins. He could take a road never allowed him before. He
and the beast could rest. Work a job. Fix a home. And maybe, if he was lucky,
become a good husband.
With Bonds, Broken, and Silent, you’ve introduced a new couple, Daisy and
Gavin. How do they fit into the FFSD universe?
Daisy Pavlovich and Gavin Bower
are in many ways the opposite of Rysa and Ladon. Where Rysa’s ADHD makes her
life chaotic and stressful, Daisy’s iron will helps her keep her world under
control. Where Ladon has seen too much in his life, Gavin is young, brilliant,
and full of curiosity. Rysa and Ladon established their relationship
immediately; Daisy and Gavin are approaching romance with great caution.
Together, they bring a new
vibe to the series I think readers will enjoy.
It’s nice to see Gavin again after his brief
appearance in the beginning of Games
of Fate. Are there other minor
characters from the first trilogy you will be bringing back for greater roles
in the upcoming titles?
That would be telling.
One last question: The FFSD universe contains a lot of
paranormal and fantasy elements and sometimes the science fiction aspects
aren’t obvious. Could you tell is a little more about how the series fits into
the SF genre?
At this point, the reader
knows just as much about the mechanisms and the rules of the universe as the
characters. That said, there are several characters – and one very large, very
well-funded corporation – doing their damnedest to figure out what makes the
Fates, Shifters, Burners, and dragons tick, Gavin being one of them. Let’s just
say he’s full of questions.
Thank you!
