What you can expect next from me in the near future!
by Dionne Aubrie
Okay, I have to say first and foremost I’m not writing another space opera for some time. I’m going to let the genre sit for a while and see how people like these books. In the mean time, I’ve gone back to fantasy and tried my hand at contemporary romance. I think I need a genre break, and it’s been so great to go back to my first genre; fantasy, and try something new at the same time; contemporary romance.
What my contemporary romance is about: I just finished-meaning today as I write this- my first contemporary romance about a flutist in an orchestra who’s in love with her boss- the conductor. When I decided to write contemporary, I wanted to write something I knew a lot about; hence orchestras. This was the most fun I’ve ever had writing!
My advice to writers out there: try different genres. You never know which ones you’ll be good at!
Aubrie grew up watching the original Star Wars movies over and over again until she could recite and reenact every single scene in her backyard. She also loved The Goonies, Star Trek the Next Generation-favorite character was Data by far-, and Indiana Jones. But, her all time favorite movie was The Last Unicorn. She still wonders why the unicorn decided to change back to a unicorn in the end.
Aubrie wrote in her junior high yearbook that she wanted to be "A concert flutist" when she grew up. When she made that happen, she decided one career was not enough and embarked as a fantasy, sci fi author. Two careers seem to keep her busy. For now.
Her writings have appeared in Mindflights, Niteblade, Silver Blade, Emerald Tales, Hazard Cat, Moon Drenched Fables, A Fly in Amber, and Aurora Wolf. Her books are published by Entangled Publishing, Lyrical Press, and Gypsy Shadow Publishing. She recently signed her YA sci fi novel with Inkspell Publishing titled: Colonization: Paradise Reclaimed, which will release in October 2012.
