Great question!
Let's see, I have 3 WIP's I'm writing right now. Two are continuations of books I've written (only one is up for sell right now) and one is a rewrite of a story I'd done a while ago.
1) Is DARK ILLUSIONS: THE FINAL CHAPTER and that is [hopefully] going to be the last in the series, but there is no telling. If so, I would have to change the subtitle, haha. It's the continuation from the first I wrote, DARK ILLUSIONS: THE BEGINNING. Oddly enough, I had no plans on making more, but people asked for more so I went back and saw that there was more to the story I could tell. They wanted more back story and information about the clans I used. So I ended up writing DARK ILLUSIONS: THE NEXT CHAPTER, and somehow Kat and Julian weren't finished, so I continued on to this current one: DI: TFC (#3).
The idea came from a TV series I'd watched as a child and always wanting to explore vampire stories. When I really brought it back and rewrote it to what is is now, it was a new take on vampires. Vampires with the ability to transform into wolves and who held onto a lot of the traits of the wolf while in human form, but they were still vampires. Now that it's progressing, it's an even more advanced and new-age look at what vampires could be if they retained abilities that also touch on their more human side. I also wanted to continue to truly show Kat as someone who is a strong and capable woman, full of confidence, yet still faces occasional issues (like most of my female leads) with insecurity moments. Where it's going is a place I never thought it would take Kat, but I think people will love it.
2) Is my fifth book in my Sorceress Series. I'm hoping in Summertime to have the first out, if not by the end of the year. That one came from a dream. Literally. The first part of book one, is pretty much my entire dream written out with a tad extra, haha. I wanted to do a book with witches. I wanted to touch on everything great about witches, but take it further into a Sorceress. I also wanted a female lead who was empowered and strong. She has to face realities and things she never thought possible, while still being human and facing human issues. So the entire series is her becoming everything she never thought existed, while facing regular issues, overcoming them, and even more: being strong enough to face them and deal. I wanted a series where I could bring to life everything about fantasy that people love and more. May (Maeve is her real name, but she'll correct King's even, to NOT call her such) came about.
3) My rewrite of a future story. HOPE OF THE FUTURE was a book that touched on a future where women couldn't have children. I guess there is a movie like it so I pulled back (from a friend mentioning it) and ended up combining it with a book I wrote when I was a teen (that one was about the world shutting down and a group of powerful rich men taking control). This time around it's turning into an alternative sci fi-ish book. The idea merged from "couldn't" to "didn't want to," to the point that in the future, the female body changed. Humans altered their DNA to survive in a world that changed also. The world ended like they said they would, but nobody could ever have imagined it becoming what it became.
