We have a blurb! Sicari by Adrienne Wilder

Sicari

by Adrienne Wilder

When Ben Corbin’s uncle is murdered, he comes into possession of information about the man responsible for the death of his mother and father. A man his uncle appeared to be hunting. Now Ben wants to finish what his uncle began. 

Jacob Moser fell into a cycle of drugs and abuse. His will broken, his life destroyed, he had no hope of survival. But the man who saved him is no angel; rather, the remnants left behind when all the complexities of what makes a person human are stripped away, leaving the darkest parts of a man. 

Marcel Serghi lives by the rules of his House. Rules ingrained in him as a child under the most brutal conditions meant to hone him into a perfect killer. And throughout his life, he has made vicious enemies. Now innocent lives have been swept up into a storm of revenge against him. 

But Marcel isn’t going to save them.

He’s going to change them. 

Because life is a gift.

The book is DONE. Just a little bit of a wrap up and then it is off to the editors... *sigh* Now back to Nox 2.

What's going on and next book update + giveaway

I'm still here. I haven't been active online recently. I thought I would explain why. Nothing horrible, I promise.

I usually work on four or five books at a time. If I get stuck on a plot point in one book, I work on another till I figure out how to fix it. It could be days, weeks, or months before I figure out the problem. Sometimes I scrap most of a book and start again. I wish I could work on one book from start to finish like most writers, but my brain doesn't work that way.

When I finally finish the first draft, it is time to make revisions. I try to stick with the same book during the revision process so I can get it to my editors and then to you. This is when I go into my proverbial dragon's den and disappear online. 

For the last two months, I've been revising a book that might be the death of me. Six years ago (Yes! Six years), I started writing Sicari, a romantic suspense. One of the main characters, Marcel, has turned out to be the most challenging character I have ever written. He is a sociopath, and it is exhausting being in his head. He isn't one of the romantic interests, but everything revolves around Marcel.

But I am so close to the end of my revisions! Sicari is going to be 150K! My editor has been circling me in a predatory manner for weeks, waiting... 

So, that's where I've been. When I hand Sicari over to the editors, I will be free-ish...cause edits. But I will emerge from my den, bask in the sun and get other things done! 

Thank you to all my patrons. I know I haven't been active, and only managing update Chimera Kittens and Bittersweet. I have signed all the books and swag that everyone has been waiting for. Unfortunately, the post offices are slammed right now. Sharon is putting the packages together and addressing them and hopes to mail them the last week of December. I've added extra stuff to make up for the delay.

As soon as I finish Sicari, I will jump back into Nox - book 2, The Darkest Night - Jeff's story, and some other surprises.

Thank you to everyone who has read my books, joined my patron, or left a review. Even though I'm in my dragon den, I always have time to respond to readers' questions. You can email me directly or tag me in Adrienne's Darkside of the Rainbow Facebook group.

Update on writing projects

MinionS here. I finally cornered Adrienne and made him give me an update on what he's writing.

Sicari: This is the next book that will release. Adrienne is currently doing the first round of self-edits. I'm looking forward to meeting Marcel, Jacob, Ben, and Sam. Fun fact. Adrienne has been working on this book off and on for four years! Marcel is the most challenging character he has written because he is a sociopath.

Sins of the Father: We refer to this as the "Priest" book. It is about 30% done and has gone through many changes, but I think Adrienne has settled on how this story will go. Dorian is the priest and Aiden is deaf. Writing Aiden has been a challenge for Adrienne because it is hard to show not tell when someone is deaf. But he likes a challenge.

Nox 2: This is about 10% done. The important thing is the plot/mythos has been worked out. So when he starts working on this more it should write quickly.

Sacrifice (Bound Gods 11 and 12): This is the final book (will be divided into two books) in the current Bound Gods arc. This is where lots of gods, doxies, and people will die. Who? *evil laughter* Wouldn't you like to know...me too. Adrienne has told me very little. I don't think he knows who is going to die yet. Book 11 is about 50% done and Book 12 is about 70% done.

Darkest Night: Jeff's story is about 70% done.

Bitter Sweet: the yaoi-style webcomic drama Bound Gods spin-off. It is about a godling named Jinx and a doxie named Ira. There are 42 pages up on Patreon. The comic has started posting on webtoons for free. One page a week.

Chimera Kittens: A funny and smutty comic about Leo and Kaleb. There are 20 pages on Patreon. You can see censored pages at the $1 level. At the end of the comic, all patrons will get an uncensored PDF of the whole thing. 

There is also a finished webcomic called Chimera Christmas. Funny and smutty. Who knew the Chimera could do THAT with its tongue...

The audiobook of Nox is out. Kirt Graves is the narrator and does an excellent job!

The print copies of Pandora's Heart have been ordered for patrons at the $7 and up level. There will also be some other goodies coming with them.

Adrienne loves corals. Here is his tank: This is an old picture. He is cleaning and adding to it. I'll post a pic once it's done.

And no post would be complete without a pic of Adrienne's puppy Cinder. She has gotten so big! You can see videos of her in Adrienne's Darkside of the Rainbow FB group along with my new puppy Winter. You can see Finn and Pello's feet too!

I think I covered everything... Adrienne is still suffering from sinus trouble. He's got a new antibiotic so hopefully, he'll feel better soon. If you have any questions, you can ask in the comments or in the FB group. Adrienne will answer...but not about who will die in Sacrifice! *evil laugh*
