Today I'm pleased to welcome author and blogger extraordinaire Chrys Fey as part of her blog tour for her latest release, A Fighting Chance. I also had the chance to ask Chrys a question and from her answer, it sounds like she has a lot more exciting projects coming our way too.
Nick Asked: Do you plan to write more series after this or concentrating on standalone books, and can you give us a clue what might come next?
Chrys Fey’s Answer: Both.
I am actively working on what I lovingly call my Secret Book Baby Series (the
real series title and book titles will remain a mystery for now.) I am in the
process of rewriting the first book. For, oh, about the twelve thousandth time.
Okay. So that may be an exaggeration. It’s more like the thousandth time.
(haha) I’ve rewritten this book many times, as well as revised it and
self-edited it countless times.
That series will give birth to many other
spin-off series. And I mean MANY. The universe that these books are set in just
keep on growing. I love it! One day, I hope to share them with you all.
Aside from the books related to my Secret Book
Baby Series, I also have a middle grade series in the works. I started Book 2
last year before setting it aside. I have plans for a new romantic-suspense
trilogy, too.
But I don’t just write books that’ll be in a
series, though. I don’t believe in restricting my creativity like that. Not all
books need or have to have a sequel or series to follow it. I have a long list
of standalone books waiting for my attention.
Right now, I will be concreating first on
perfecting the first book in my Secret Book Baby Series and finishing up a
standalone book I started last year. I got pretty far on that, too, (just eight
chapters sigh of the end), before 2020 happened and stole my motivation for
that story. I love it so much and will finish it. After that, there’s a few
other standalone books I am excited to get to. A couple of which I’ve already
written a lot on, and a couple of which I’ve only plotted out. The
possibilities are endless!
As for what might come next, we’ll you’ll have
to wait and see. 😉

*A FIGHTING CHANCE is Book 6 in the Disaster
Crimes series, but it’s a spin-off featuring a new couple, so it can be
read as a standalone.*
Thorn has loved Amanda from afar, giving her
whatever she needs as a survivor of abuse—space, protection, and stability. He
yearns to give her more, though, to share his feelings, kiss her, love her, but
he's worried the truth will frighten her away.
And Amanda is afraid. She’s scared of her
attraction for Thorn. Most of all, she’s terrified of her ex-boyfriend, who is
lurking nearby where no one can find him. When she grows closer to Thorn, Damon
retaliates, jeopardizing their happy ending.
Up against an abusive ex and Mother Nature, do
Thorn and Amanda have a fighting chance?

EXCERPT:
Amanda looked up from the current list of
up-to-date payments for classes. A movement outside the glass storefront caught
her eye. She tilted her head to see a man coming up the sidewalk from the side
where the picnic bench sat. Through the vertical blinds, she glimpsed a square
face—a short, rugged beard and long, dark hair pulled into a man bun. Her
breath fled from her lungs. Her body went from icy cold to flaming hot in the
span of a millisecond. She dropped to the floor and slid under the counter, beneath
the ledge where they put their purses and cell phones.
“What—” Beth peeked at the windows. Then she
snapped her fingers at April and pointed at the stools.
April jumped into action. She pushed the stools
in so they blocked Amanda. The bell attached to the door jingled as April
removed the jacket she wore and draped it across the stools, creating a curtain
to shield Amanda.
From a crack, Amanda watched Beth move to stand
in front of the twins, who were in their walkers playing peacefully. “I’m sorry,
but we’re going to be closing.”
“I don’t give a shit. I’m here for Amanda.”
The sound of Damon’s voice had her heart
beating even harder. That voice had haunted her nightmares, had come back to
life in her memories.
Beth cocked her head to the side. “Who? There’s
no one by that name here.”
“Don’t bullshit me. I know she works here.”
His voice was closer now.

Note: I wrote The Disaster Curse to answer a
few lingering questions readers may have after reading A Fighting Chance,
and to tie the whole series together with a neat, shiny, perfect little bow.
Plus, there was one disaster that I hadn’t written about yet. *wink*

Wow, sounds like you're going to be busy for a long time to come, Chrys!
Hi Nick :-)
Hi Nick - Chrys is amazing isn't she ... always creating ideas and then drafting up the books and series. Good luck - stay safe too ... Hilary
@Annalisa, I hope so. :)
@Alex, I do, and I'm fortunate that I do.
Thank you for having me on your blog, Nick, and for asking me what's coming next. :)
Sounds like she's got a lot of irons in the fire. That's a good thing.
Congratulations, Chrys!
Sounds like you've got a lot planned, Chrys.
@Liz, I do, and it's very good. When I get stuck on one thing, I can go to another. :)
@Elizabeth, thanks!
@Natalie, I can't wait to finish some of these and publish them. Although, that may be a couple of years or more yet.
Chrys' book looks great, thanks for sharing! :)
