Tara Maya's Tales

  Today I'm working on the November novel of the Arcana Glen "Elf Tarot" Major Arcana series.  The first round of edits for this book were done in June, but after some feedback from my Alpha reader, I undertook another round of revisions, which means another round of edits. That's where I am now. Then I'll send it to Beta readers (email me if you are interested) and hopefully not have to revise TOO much more before it is published on November 1.  This is Raziel's story. If you've been following the series, you will have seen him in several previous books. Now his secrets are stripped bare to the world... Meanwhile, the book immediately before this one, The Tower & the Star , is coming out in three days. If you buy it on Pre-Order, it's 20% off. Click here to order . You can also read the first book in the series, The Magician & the Fool , for free .

Agent Scott Egan attempts to define the genre of Women's Fiction .   First of all, in most cases, women's fiction is told from the point of view of a female. ... These are stories that are looking at the world through a female lens, therefore, the need for a female protagonist. Hm... well... okay. A lot of the fiction I read has a female MC. Some of the characters ride dragons, some fall in love with dragons, some fight on spaceships... But that's not Women's Fiction. And Egan agrees.   Now, like all pieces of logic, if women's fiction is told from the point of view of a female, then every story out there with a female protagonist is women's fiction. This is false.   Remember, when I say we are looking at the world through a female lens, we are also looking at how the female brain is processing what she sees in the world. The main focus of these stories is to see how women think, see the world and react to things in the world. For all of you academic people...

  This week I'm editing the final three books of The Major Arcana series set in my Tarot Elves Arcana Glen universe.  Try as I did to keep each book completely independent, as I delve more deeply into the series and the world, the connections between books grow closer together. The underlying "side" plot about the mystery of who killed the original Guardians and the Elven War loom larger in the stories as the conclusion of the series. October's book, The Tower & the Star , will show the reader a glimpse into Winterdom, the land of the Jotun (Ice Giants), the Storm Dragons (also called the Silver or White Dragons), and the Azir (the Winter Elves).  November's book, Judgment & the World, features a character I've become quite fond of -- Raziel Ranaci, a Fallen Angel , who betrayed the Seraph Michael in The Magician & the Fool and who has appeared in the tales of several more couples since January.  The last book in the series will be The Tree ...
