Dumps, Dives & Divas

[queenoftheskies]

Back in 2007, I started a story in one segment of my series entitled Dumps, Dives & Divas. Over the years, I would add to it. It would change direction. Until I decided wasn't the story I wanted to use to present my series to readers.

I wanted to start with before my characters came to Earth.

I have 5 of those novels finished and several others almost finished. I had plans for them, the order I was going to release them in, etc.

(You're going to laugh at me from this point on.)

Until I saw K-Pop Demon Hunters, I was going to finish another one of those pre-Earth novels.

But, once I saw it, I realized, as popular as it was, there might be a better market for DDD first.

Why?

Because my aliens on Earth became rock stars and used the cover of their concerts to go to areas where they needed to fight monsters. This was originally going to be my introduction to music as magic in my series.

So, I pulled it out, finished it and started revising.

Another point that might be in its favor is that my characters have "magic armor", and Disney is talking about making an all new Power Rangers to release. And, there's magic/tech armor there.

So, this is where I am currently:



Need to finish revisions.

Need to find beta readers.

Need to revise again.

And, hope that decision to pull this novel out of the trunk pays off.

Edited to add: I've only shown this cover to my kids and to a friend I write with. Would love reactions if anyone has one.

I just got the finished file the end of last weeek.
