I knew the ghost of Bastien’s sister, introduced fleetingly in Darkness Dawns and Night Reigns, would return later in the series and find love with an Immortal Guardian. I knew, for example, that Seth’s book would end the first series arc and how the jaw-dropping climax would unfold. Though I didn’t know exactly how many books the series would entail, how many characters would get their own stories, or in what order those stories would come, I did know several key elements of the overall series arc before I began writing Roland and Sarah’s story. This holds true not just for individual books but also for the Immortal Guardians series as a whole. I just don’t always know the path that will lead me there. I always know the beginning, middle, and ending of a story-as well as a few key scenes that have been dancing through my head-before I get started. This does not mean, however, that I have no notion of the plot. I just sit down, start typing, and let the story unfold however it will. By that I mean that instead of carefully plotting out my next novel or novella before I write it, I fly by the seat of my pants. If you chat with me on social media and/or join me on my blog tours, then you already know I’m a pantser, not a plotter.
