My Muses about Writing
Dabbling off and on with written creative works, I’ve not really thought about publishing anything … till now. I’ve always had imagery floating around my head and found that my paintings were insufficient to express my visions three dimensionally. I think with writing, I have found a way to do just that.
I began writing the Mona Bendarova Adventures as a single book. The idea of which took several years to develop. Then two years ago, I wrote a concept, an encyclopedia of the universe I was creating and eventually, an outline of the first book.
Originally, I didn’t think that I would publish it but the feedback I’ve since received, prompted me to decide to write followup stories, of which the second book is already under development, and outlines for five more books.
I hope you enjoy my work. Feel free to comment.
Are you ever going to finish the books? I read about the Bloodline, but it left me hanging! What happened to the senator and his daughter? What happened to Sir?
Hello, Jeanne. Thanks for reaching out. I believe you’re talking about the Mona Bendarova Series. To answer your question, yes, I plan on getting to the end.
I didn’t mean to leave everyone hanging for so long, and I apologize for that. What happened is after I finished book 4 in the series, I suffered a significant brain injury, and I was off-line for almost a year. The injury stole my creative thought processes, leaving me afraid to I’d never be able to write again.
That changed during a visit to my doctor’s office, and an idea for a new story sparked, which ended up to be my Consortium Series. I’m working on book 9 in that series now, and plan on returning the Mona’s books after that.
Thank you for your patience.

Oh, Jeanne,
I see you mixed the Bloodline with the Consortium. The Bloodline is related to my Mona Bendarova series, which I wrote about above. The rest of your comment refers to the Consortium Series, which has 8 books in the series. Book 8 was just released on July 1, 2025. By the end of this book, you will discover what happened to the Senator and his daughters. I am hard at work on book 9 in the series, having completed about 1/3 of the planned novel. I hope to finish the draft by the end of summer, and get it published this coming fall. I look forward to hearing more from you.
