My Demon Warlord – Status
Thursday, December 31st, 2015I have a status! Something to tell you! I just sent the MS for My Demon Warlord to the copy editor.
It turned out that I did not one but two significant rewrites even after my revisions were done. I wasn’t happy with certain parts of the story. My second paper read-through was a sea of pretty ink colors. Lets, see, I used sparkly green, copper, sunrise orange, pink, purple, sparkly blue, and sparkly gray. I’d run one pen dry, and either swap out the cartridge immediately and keep going or switch pens until I ran that one dry…. Then I put in those edits and did a third paper read through and…. again massively revised (see list of ink colors above) and then I got in those edits and started reading again, and then I gave up on paper and went back to the digital version and things were finally holding together the way I wanted them to. And then I was mostly catching little stuff like typos and punctuation instead of completely rewriting and now it’s on it’s way to the copy-editor.
After that, it goes to proofreading, then to the formatter.
For everyone who’s been asking about Book 3 in the Sinclair Sister’s series (that would be Emily and Devon!) I can start the plotting/brainstorming pretty much now. I’ve already worked out the basic framework so I may start drafting sooner rather than later.
For everyone who’s been asking about stories in the “The King’s Dragon” world, I’ll be writing the first one after Emily and Devon. That’s a story idea I’ve jokingly called The Dark Elf Series. It’s got elves. It’s dark. There’s a short story set in that world over at Heroes and Heartbreakers. You can read the whole thing there for free. You have to register, but that’s free. MacMillan sells the story for $0.99 at most vendors. (The King’s Dragon, by Carolyn Jewel)
The off-site office makes a big difference in my ability to string together some hours without being interrupted.
My Demon Warlord – Updated Blurb
Saturday, December 19th, 2015I’ve tweaked the back cover copy for My Demon Warlord. What do you think?
Version 2.1
A Demon Warlord Bound by Dark Magic to the Powerful Witch he’s Desired For Years.
Kynan Aijan’s centuries-long enslavement to a mage left him borderline insane and bound to Maddy Winters, a witch he intended to kill in horrible ways. Though he’s sworn the bonds they share will never be completed, their very existence feeds his desire for her even as he accepts that Winters will never forgive him.
For Maddy Winters the fight against evil magic users always takes top priority. But her bonds to Kynan give her intimate access to his thoughts and experiences, and she can’t always ignore their chemistry. Her insistence that she has no feelings for him is a deception she can’t afford to give up.
As Kynan and Maddy join forces to stop a rebellious and murderous witch, the dark magic that binds them locks them into forbidden passions and magic that could destroy them both . Will their fight for what’s right lead to a fight for each other?
My Demon Warlord is the seventh installment in the My Immortals series of paranormal romance novels. If you like magical supernatural tales, explosive chemistry, and irresistible passion, then you’ll love Carolyn Jewel’s latest breathtaking romance.

My Demon Warlord – Back Cover Copy
Sunday, November 29th, 2015So …. what do you think of this?
An extremely powerful demon. A no-strings-attached witch. Is their business really just pleasure?
Kynan Aijan’s centuries-long enslavement to a mage left him borderline insane, and he holds all witches responsible. His encounter with Maddy Winters is supposed to end with him killing her in horrible ways but instead ends with magical bonds he must swear will never be completed. As he regains his sanity, he accepts that Winters will never forgive him.
No ordinary witch, Maddy Winters isn’t big on relationships. The fight against evil magic users always takes top priority. But her bonds to Kynan give her intimate access to his thoughts and experiences, and soon her instance that she has no feelings for him becomes a deception she can’t afford to give up.
As Kynan and Maddy join forces to stop a rebellious and murderous witch, they can’t help but feel the pull of the dark magic that binds them. Will their fight for what’s right lead to a fight for each other?
My Demon Warlord is the seventh installment in the My Immortals saga, a series of paranormal romance novels. If you like magical supernatural tales, explosive chemistry, and sensual sexual encounters, then you’ll love Carolyn Jewel’s latest breathtaking romance.

Technology Woes . . . My Sob Story
Tuesday, October 20th, 2015So, a couple of days ago my 2011 model iMac began misbehaving in a worrisome way. I got the soonest Genius Bar appointment possible and it was still too late. Yesterday it basically died. Yesterday was the same day my replacement phone arrived and with the dead iMac, my phone backup was unavailable. Because of our internet situation here (only recently resolved mostly) I never dared back up to iCloud. Not possible. So… I backed up the phone to my Macbook and for some reason it would only encrypt the backup but without ever asking me to give it a password. NEVER HAPPENED. And it wanted this nonexistent password in order to restore my backup to the new phone.
The workaround is a backup to iCloud. So, OK. Our internet is OK enough to risk it. I started at 7:00PM and at 4:30 this morning it was still going. And at 5:30 it just quit. No error message. No nothing. Just “Your backup could not be completed” or else, no message at all. So I took it to work and tried a backup to a Windows machine. Same thing. Encrypted backup. NO opportunity to give a password. I tried iCloud again. Nope.
Finally, the nice lady at Apple wondered if I had enough space in iCloud. Well, I had no idea how big the phone backup is. Apple doesn’t tell you.
Long story short, the answer is no. Apple just swallows a “you don’t have enough space” error message and misses the upsell opportunity too.
Then I got the extra storage and that took two hours for the phone to believe I had it, and THEN the backup succeeded.
THEN the restore was stuck on “1 hour remaining” for three hours.
I went to my other office where they have super duper internet and started over with the restore and it took 20 minutes. TWENTY MINUTES!!!!!
JFC.
This was nothing but a series of error conditions that Apple should be trapping. I have suspicions about the backup though. And since I will be back on the phone with them tomorrow to explain my resolution and complain a bit, I’ll relay the possibility that iPhone encrypted backup process doesn’t work when the drive is already encrypted.
::Sigh::
Anyway, My Demon Warlord is going well. I’m doing the final paper read-through so the dead iMac could be worse.
Closing in . . . .
Thursday, October 8th, 2015Last night I finished the last of the first pass revisions for My Demon Warlord. Now I’m reading through again. Then a paper read through and then, well. I guess I’ll be done but for additional editing, copyediting, proofreading etc. December is looking good.
Next week the anthology Christmas in Duke Street goes on sale. If you’re interested in a review copy, let me know.
Book Updates and News
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015I’ve been really low profile these days, but here’s some book updates and news. I ended up working on multiple projects at the same time, which isn’t always the best thing for me. I can’t really lay things out linearly because they didn’t happen in a straight line. I have personal issues that are taking up more of my writing time, but I have managed to figure out how to adjust to that. The adjustment involves the word “ruthless.” Woo-hoo?
I have a historical novella A Seduction in Winter for the upcoming Christmas anthology Christmas in Duke Street. It was rough going. My initial idea seemed great. I really liked it. But when I sat down to write, a different story showed up and it wasn’t the story I had prepared for. Long story short (Hah! That’s a writer joke!) It took a lot longer to write and then rewrite than I anticipated. Involved at least one night of staying up until 2 AM and getting up at 6 AM to get in the final edits. However, I really like the story. It came out great.
Now I’m back to working on My Demon Warlord which is on track and going well. I am targeting a December release date, which is well beyond what I’d originally hoped.
After that, I’ll start on Sinclair Sisters Book 3, Emily and Bracebridge.
Once all my fast writing was done for A Seduction in Winter, my hands were sore and achy so I’ve started dictating as much as I can. It speeds things up considerably.
And now, back to the writing cave.
Various Bits of News
Thursday, July 16th, 2015I leave for RWA (Romance Writers of America) Nationals on Saturday. I’m on the National Board which meets Sunday, Monday, and possibly Tuesday. Conference starts Wednesday and ends Saturday evening. The Board has loads of stuff to discuss. I return from conference the 26th. I will try to blog if possible.
If you’re planning to be at RWA, please say hello! If you have any concerns or opinions about RWA, please do let me know. The annual donut party Megan Frampton and I throw is scheduled for sometime Friday afternoon. If you’ve been a past attendee, you know it’s fun as heck. Plus. Free donut. BYO beverage. If you’re not following me on twitter (@cjewel) now would be a good time to follow me so you don’t miss the official time announcement.
I’m busy writing my Christmas novella for Christmas in Duke Street. My Demon Warlord should be back from beta after RWA, so once the novella is done and the beta read is back, I’ll be revising My Demon Warlord. Then I start Sinclair Sisters Book 3 (Emily and Bracebridge, for fans of the series ….)
Writing Progress and News
Sunday, March 8th, 2015I’ve been making good progress on My Immortals Book 7. It’s coming together well, which is good news. I’ve told my cover artist to consider My Demon Warlord the final title so there you go. I should have a final cover soon.
Shortly though, I’ll be writing a novella for the anthology Dancing in the Duke’s Arms. I’m hoping to have My Demon Warlord to some trusted readers while I’m doing that.
I’ve changed my mind about the project after that. I was going to start on the Dark Elf series but I have decided I should write Sinclair Sisters Series Book 3, THEN start the new series.
Here’s a picture of some of the tulips coming up in the garden. It looks a little better close up but hey! Spring is coming!
