The runner up from my Fan Art Competition requested, as their prize, for me to do a coloured version of the group portrait artwork. Seemed like a great choice to me, although it proved difficult choosing the colour scheme.
Over all I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It was also a fun test for me to see whether I could take the digital black and white artworks I paint and traditionally colour them.
I’ve illustrated a new scene from Memory’s Wake. The scene was chosen by the winner of my Fan Art competition. Nicole Cadet requested something with ball gowns, particularly, the scene at the masque where Memory is stolen into the garden by the savage.
Here’s a short excerpt and my illustration of the scene-
Rough hands grabbed her from behind. One forceful tug pulled her back into the scratching leaves of the hedge.
She tried to wriggle free, but strong arms pinned her against a body of firm muscles and furs. Dragged through the dense foliage, she closed her eyes to the twigs that rushed by. In a burst of leaves, she and her abductor emerged from the hedge. She looked up into blue eyes. Blue like the sea, they even made her feel sea-sick looking into them. Eyes she remembered from the forest.
If you’ve been inspired to create something based on Memory’s Wake, please send it in for inclusion in my collection here. I love to see what creative works readers come up with! While my original fan art competition has now ended, because I love to reward people for their work I will continue to offer a free ebook copy of Emotionally Charged to readers who send in fan art 
(Free copy of Emotionally Charged will be in the form of a free download coupon for Smashwords, different ebook formats available including Kindle, Nook, ePub and PDF.)
A lot of people have been reading Memory’s Wake, and keep asking me “Will there be more?”
Yes, Memory’s story will continue. Memory’s Wake is just the beginning for her, with two more books planned for the Memory’s Wake Trilogy.
I’m working hard planning what happens next. If you’ve read Memory’s Wake, you’ll know there are some tricky twists and complicated goings on- even more than are revealed in this first book. The following two books explain even more about why Memory is how she is, how her magic works, and the implications for Avall and the rest of the world.
So what happens next? Here is a little teaser of what books two and three will be about. I will continue to call them book two and three for a while. I know what the titles will be, but won’t be releasing that information until close to their release. At the moment, I’m hoping book two will be released mid 2012, and book three at the end of 2012.
Book One was all about finding yourself. Memory quite literally had no idea who she was and desperately wanted to find out, find her past and family, and had to learn that to really discover who she is meant more than recovering her memories.
In Book Two, the characters are still learning about themselves, but about being true to themselves instead of trying to be something they aren’t in order to fit in.
It was easy making strong friendships while stuck together running for their lives, but will Memory be able to stay friends with Eloryn, Roen and Will when trying to get by fitting into courtly life? Her link to Thayl brings her more answers about her past which are heartbreaking as she questions whether the man is still a threat to her or something else. The Wizard’s Council are helping restore order to Avall and Memory isn’t sure of their methods and motives, especially when arranged marriages become an issue. She tries to be true to herself, both new and old, but she struggles as she is haunted by her old self, quite literally. When Memory hits her lowest point ever, will her friends be able to bring her back from the edge?
Book three is all about breaking the rules, breaking traditions, breaking old grudges and forging through to something new and better.
It’s become clear that someone, or something, has been manipulating Memory since birth. Memory and her friends try to find out what, and why, while Memory tries to hold the kingdom together. The fae have become more and more unsettled and violent, and those closest to Memory are under the most threat. A wicked plot, dating back to the very beginning of Avall and the Pact is coming to it’s end, and Memory is a vital part. In order to save her friends, Memory will break all the rules and risk the world. With the world broken by her actions, she will have to step up and make the greatest sacrifice to repair Avall and the world to something better than before.
