#AmWritingBookThree

Is it too soon for me to tell you that book 3 in the Miss Independent series will be titled, Live & Learn?


I'm doing it anyway.


This has been a really fun one to write. The characters introduced in Decision Makers make many appearances in this book! I have had fun getting to know each of them a little better.


Speaking of Decision Makers, how are people liking it? That one was admittedly a hell of lot more fun to edit than it was to write. And I say that because that book in particular hit a little too close to home. I had to think about it a little more, especially when it came to Nikki's portion of the story, and I had to ask myself what I wanted for her versus what was actually good for the story and character. Obviously, she won out over me and I feel it worked out for the best for everyone in this book.


But I'm only of one opinion. How did you feel? Does anyone like her with Oscar? Or does she just need to keep looking for love elsewhere, or perhaps stick with William? And will her acting career EVER take off?


What about Vanessa? Do you think she has REALLY moved on from Nathan and he from her? Or are these feelings just temporary? And what is going on with her and Sheila? Is the truce going to last? Especially now that she is responsible for yet another of Vanessa's exes coming back into her life?


I know from emails and notes I've received that most people are Team Mo. How would you feel if he moved on from Vanessa? Are you rooting for them to make a real go of a relationship, or would you like to see him with someone else? And what the hell is up with Melanie? Does she have a thing for him too or is she just 'antsy'? She's one hell of a complicated bird at this point.


I'd really like to hear your thoughts and know how you're feeling about Decision Makers compared to MI!


I'd also like to send out a big THANK YOU! to everyone who has read the books so far and has left me comments, messages, and emails! I appreciate and read them all.


Keep spreading the word about the series! Once Live & Learn is complete, I'll announce pre-order and order dates, as well as showcase the new cover.


Before I go, I want to mention that I was asked how many books will be in this particular series, and to tell you the truth, this is the first time when I really don't know. When I feel the books are complete and all the stories told are finished and nothing else is left to be said, that's when I'll stop writing them. It's not truly set in stone as it has been with my other books, where I know when and how they will end and how many books will finish out each series. This one continues to take me by surprise with every ending, so I'm just enjoying the ride while I'm on it!


Enjoy the remaining week and as always, keep reading!

CRASHED: A SKULL & BONES MC

It's been a while!  So much has been going on within the world and my personal life that I had to take a severe step back with my writing. I hated it, but it was also necessary. Because I suffered from terrible writer's block and as a result, was unable to pen anything worth reading.  I started writing CRASHED sometime in 2020 before stopping and then trying to pick it up over the last four years. I was never bored with the story but overtime, became unmotivated to finish. Within the last few months, I was able to change that and finally finish the story that had initially gotten me back on my feet after Professor X .  There are some things I changed about the original story, such as the name of the MC, a few themes and the cover. But overall, the story itself is the same and has gone back to the roots of the first MC I had ever written and published, Inflamed . River and Mia also make appearances in this story, by the way.  If you would like to sign up to read an A...

CRASHED: A SKULL & BONES MC

Hope you can still be patient for CRASHED!  Real life things are getting in the way of edits coming to a close, and it's taking longer than I'd like.  But the book is still coming! Dates will be updated once everything is final.   Here's another quote from Jackson CRASH Timmons to Heaven Santiago.  This line is probably outta pocket, but I loved writing it anyway.  You were like an ongoin’ shot of heroin; the needle was hangin’ outta my arm like a goddamn addict and I was achin’ like a motherfucker to get back to that feelin’ you gave me in that truck.

#WriterWednesday - Inflamed 'Fun Fact!'

Did you know...? The scene in which Mia & River finally talk about their feelings for each other and hook up was written about a month before nearly everything else that happened prior to it. Right after I wrote the prologue and first three chapters, there was a giant gap of 'stuff' that was supposed to happen, but I wasn't sure how to fill it because I didn't know what any of that 'stuff' would be. So I decided to move forward with other parts of the story until it finally hit me. That exact moment of their hook up came to me as I was writing another scene, and I just went with it, all while having zero clue as to how the hell they got to that point (given where they started)! It was only when I finished those scenes that I knew what I was building up to and how the story itself would come to an end. It amplified and intensified every conversation and encounter between them, hence the name of the book. I changed the cover three times in the hope of ...
