More than the other books in The Awakening Series, writing the fourth and final book,
The Illumination, required pulling together many threads. It was like a giant puzzle as well as a novel.
That made it fun. And challenging.
It was also exciting because at last Tara Spencer comes face-to-face with the forces that caused her supernatural pregnancy. She learns the truth about her child's origin—and her own—and everything rests upon what she decides to do about it.
Completing and launching the book also made me sad because I’ve spent so many years thinking and writing about Tara and the people around her.
Some, like Thomas Stranyero, began as minor characters and turned into pivotal actors in the drama. Others didn’t make it to the end. But all of them became real people to me.
All of this makes it fitting that this is my 100th blog post. I didn't plan it that way, but if I had, that's what I would have wanted.
If you haven’t yet read The Illumination , you can find it in
paperback or ebook editions (
Kindle,
Nook,
Kobo (Canada),
Kobo (U.S.),
iBook, or
GooglePlay formats).
The audiobook is coming soon.
If you have read the series, thanks so much! Reader reviews, emails, and comments are what kept me going throughout, especially when I was also managing a law practice.
Best,
Lisa
P.S. Haven’t had enough of Tara? You can get bonus materials from the series, including deleted scenes and my handwritten notes as I was plotting The Illumination
