Cocktail Week Continues!

Whew, this one was a little challenging, but I loved the way it made me take a closer look at my characters. 😅

What about you? What cocktail would YOUR characters (or favorite characters) be?

It's Cocktail Week with Maeve!

What does that mean? It's a silly little thing I thought would be fun, envisioning my characters and book as cocktails, but I'm starting with the raccoons behind the writing.

I've included my favorites, but I got to thinking. If *I* were a cocktail, what would I be?

I have the absolutely delulu goal of publishing three books next year. I am almost done drafting a standalone dark cowboy romance that took me by the horns (pun intended) and demanded I write it before continuing on with the Children of Urth. My hope is to release it early next year and then

When it comes to writing, I've never found my inspiration in any one place. It comes from everywhere. From the lyrics to a song, a picturesque view, another book, a video game, or even a wild dream (wish I would have more of those, honestly).

Before I set out on my writing journey, I did a ton of researching, and so much advice I saw said to pick one genre and stick with it. That writing multiple genres under one name might confuse readers or get you the wrong audience for some books based on what was in others.

Like all advice, though,

When we put our stories out into the world, we know that there will always be those who don't enjoy them—not every book is for every person—but we hope that somehow, in the sea of thousands and thousands of readers, we'll find our own. When I sent Gift of Fate out to ARC readers, (1/3)

Matilda "Mattie" Swenson is ready to give up on finding "the one." So much so that she's willing to get out of the country on New Year's Eve just to put some distance between her and her last failed relationship.

Little does she know that her last-minute trip is going to change her life forever...

When I set out to write this story, I knew I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to weave threads of fantasy into shifter romance. I wanted to put a little spin on everyone's favorite tropes. I wanted to write something that was *me.*

I went back to Ontario this year in September, and there is the COOLEST arcade bar. It has emulators for all the old game systems, and you can choose from quite a few games. I'm definitely going back next time for an all-nighter of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

We notice the things that matter to us, don’t we? Erik loves thick thighs and thick biceps, and Fate brought him two lovers so he could have both.

Erik is unapologetically flirtatious, loves deflecting emotional and tense situations with humor, and isn't afraid to call a bluff in the name of oneupsmanship. He's also diplomatic when tempers flare, fiercely loyal to those close to him, and unafraid to be open with his love.

Things we love in a fictional man:

- Long hair
- Tattooed forearms
- Piercings
- A sense of adventure between the sheets.

Erik brings all of this and more in my debut novel, Gift of Fate.

Another great part of my trip to Ontario in 2024 was that my hotel was RIGHT next to a Tim Horton's. I'm not saying I went there every day... but I'm not not saying it either. They had gorgeous, limited-edition travel cups that year, and I still use mine at least 3 times a week.

Delve a little deeper into the first MMC of my debut novel. There's much more to him than just a brooding, growly exterior.

More Moody Monday vibes with the first MMC of my debut novel, Gift of Fate.

Aside from writing, I also have a massive love for the ocean.

In 2024, I visited Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. When I tell you I almost CRIED because they had sea dragons! I never for a second thought I'd see one in my lifetime.

I still think about that trip at least once a week.

When you'd do anything for the ones you love, including the thing you fear the most.

Mattie Swenson has never wanted to hold anyone else's Fate in her hands, but a business trip to Norway propels her into a life she could never have anticipated. A life she didn't expect but was always destined for.

Get to know my FMC:

Mattie is a plus-size woman who doesn't hate her curves, but she isn't without a bit of self-doubt after failing to find "the one" while creeping up on 40. Fiercely loyal to her small-business clients, she enjoys reading and daydreaming—especially on those perfect rainy days.

“We come from a long, proud line of insensible women.”

A lifetime of unyielding support from her mother has instilled Mattie Swenson with both curiosity and a sense of adventure. Why else would she jump on a plane on New Year's Eve to jet halfway around the world on a last-minute business trip?
