The End of Guardian's Key

UPDATE: 6/9/13 - This has finally been completed properly by using The Sims 3 instead of The Sims 2. The rough draft version this page linked to has been removed. The finished, non-rough draft version can be found here.

No, no, don't panic, I'm not just walking away, I'm actually posting the end of Guardian's Key. As I mentioned in November, I have a non-Sims story that I'm working on and it has, unfortunately, proven to need more work than I at first thought.

Anyway, while I've been working away on those 80,000 words I've also been feeling badly about ignoring Guardian's Key. So, I decided that until I can get the Sims portion of the story done - the pictures taken - I'd just stick up my text file of what I have written. Granted, it's a bit rough around the edges and has some writing and grammar warts on it, but if you don't want to wait any longer, then your wait is over.

I recently noticed I'd started Guardian's Key in 2009. Never, never did I think it would take me this long to get it all posted. Seriously, it should never have taken more than a year, or a bit longer at the most.

I do have every intention of finishing the Sims portion of it as I have time. When I add a Sims version of the story, I'll be removing that text portion until it's only a Sims story.

Until I find my way back here with a finalized version of Guardian's Key: May you all walk with the Spirits.

See how it all ends, sort of...

Thank you for your patience.

Take care,

Guardian's Key is Back

Morana III is here. It's a lot of talking, but from this point on, it's off to rescue Kerrin and then to the hot deserts in the southern parts of Neith. No more trees. Yay! If you've never tried to move things around when you're surrounded by trees, then you're really missing something. More often than not, you'll grab a tree and move it.

I'd really hoped to get to this much sooner, but it turns out that I've recently received a request for chapters and a synopsis for my non-Sims story. Unfortunately, that story had become one story problem after another. So now, I'm digging in and fixing the problems - which really aren't very horrible on the whole. So, as you can probably guess, the editor comes first, but I have every hope of taking a break and fitting in more Guardian's Key just as often as I can.

Speaking of books, Drew, from Drew's Sim Stories, has had two novellas published and a short due out in December. Want a good paranormal read that covers time travel and vampires, then check out her author's page: Karyn Gerrard.

I hope everyone in the US had a good Thanksgiving, however you celebrate it.

Take care,

Morana II

I'm back with more Guardian's Key. Lessa finally tracks down her parents. They've made themselves so inaccessible that by the time she finds them she's more than ready to let loose.

Guardian's Key, Part 8 Morana, Part II

Sometimes picking which picture I want to use can be a chore. I take so few, only three to four max of each from different angles and pick the one that best depicts what I'm trying to say. There are times, however, when making the choice falls into gut feelings and then I feel bad about the ones I don't choose. So, for shits and giggles, below are two pictures that almost, but not quite made the grade.

Enjoy!

As always, thank you all for spending some time in my world.

Take care,

New Sea of Moons Post

Back again, sooner than expected - yeah, for me, too.

It always bothers me how non-alpha male Kerrin comes across most of the time, and how little he tends to have to do since he's a non-magique. So, I desperately wanted to give you a closer look into what makes Kerrin Draonight tick. I hope this between the parts update succeeds in showing you another side of Kerrin.

You can be sure, what happens in the darkness will forever change him. Kerrin's been living day to day for far too long, it's time for him to see he has to embrace the man he is, the good and the evil halves of his personality.

Somewhere in Neith...

Oh, and if you're interested in seeing some of my non-Sims writing, I've entered the Mills and Boon New Voices contest for the second year. Cat's Destiny. It's paranormal, and no, it's not about a cat-shifter. I didn't realize that using the heroine's name in the title would give people the wrong impression until my husband mentioned it to me.

Thank you for reading.

Spirits, I Hate Summer

First the good news, or I hope the good news, I'm back with the next installment of Guardian's Key.

Second, I want to thank everyone who's still hanging in there with me. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate it. Also, I seem to have picked up some new readers as well, and welcome all of you, and again, thank you for your patience.

I love this story and I so want to get the rest of it to you. Things are just starting to pick up and the real fun is about to begin. I've mentioned before that this story will complete the Kerrin/Lessa trilogy that started with A Vampire's Tale. Now that we're back in Morana where it all began, the questions are soon to be answered and their story will reach its conclusion. It's not going to be an easy trip for them by any means, but no longer will either of them be unsure of what their futures hold.

I'd love to be able to promise I'll be back before months go by again, and I'm going to really try, but I can't.

Thank you all,

Take care,
Lachesis
