INFLAMED Thoughts From Mia's POV

One of the most difficult things to write for most authors is a love scene. At least, for me. LOL. You don’t want to sound mechanical, and yet you also don’t want to make a list that reads like the analysis of a science project.

Interestingly enough, writing intimate scenes between Mia and River came a little easier this time around. I’d never written a couple like them before; both of them were very intense, which made the attraction between them that much more... what’s the word?

Hm. I’m not sure, why don’t you tell me???

Anyway, this small paragraph is from Mia's POV during their first love scene. I loved writing this part in particular because it’s the exact moment when she realizes just how much River truly loves her.

This is partially NSFW by the way! LOL:

I grinded myself against him and opened my eyes to his face. His eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, his nostrils flared and his jaw was locked up tight; he was hard, he was soft, his breath quickened, then relaxed and spread across my skin, creating goosebumps all the way down to the tips of my fingers and toes. I rolled my tongue between my lips and brought a hand back up to move my fingers across his features, around his eyes, down his nose and to his lips. His eyes opened and as he stared down at me, all I could see this time was... love. This man loved me, completely, fully, honestly, obsessively, ridiculously, crazily… he loved me. It should've scared the absolute shit out of me to finally have it all, to feel just like this, to finally have him; it should've made me run. But all I wanted, all I needed was more of it, more of him, more of this, more of us. I needed it, I craved for it. I desired it even more than his desire to keep me safe.

I never knew if what I wrote between Mia and River was too much or not enough, but in that case, I felt that it was actually just right!

Thank you all again so much for your comments and emails and FB messages regarding this book! I truly, truly appreciate hearing all that you have to say and love that you are loving the book as much as I loved writing it. I can't wait for you to get your hands on Blue's story later this summer!

As always, happy reading, enjoy your Friday and if your friends are still looking for a spring/summer read, ask them...

HAVE YOU BEEN INFLAMED???

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...

#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 ...

UPDATES: Why I've Been Off The Grid, and REAPER'S FIGHT: A WILD REAPERS MC

I first want to say to my readers that I DEEPLY apologize for the continued delay and silence regarding Reaper's Fight . But I have to be honest in telling you all that I have considered not even putting it, or any other book like it, out for the last few months or so, and I can't fully explain all of that without fearing that I might piss you off or let you down or both. There's been so much going on in the world as of late, one thing on top of another, piling on like bricks on top of more, unsturdy bricks, that I've been battling with myself and what I write; I've been battling with how I write and what's appropriate as well as what isn't. And for a longggg time, the joy of putting words on paper had been completely zapped from me. I'd literally look at my laptop and sigh because I just couldn't bring myself to upload the book or allow it to be read by anyone else, even as an edit. Currently, I'm still struggling on a certain level, but I...
