Many of us turn to our four-legged friends when our hearts have been broken and with good reason. They don’t ask questions. They snuggle and bring us comfort without asking for much in return. Their non-judgmental companionship is a treasure.
When I started writing Bondage Anniversary, I never dreamed it would be my breakthrough piece. It began as a naughty tale meant for my husband’s eyes only. He had been away on a business trip and I spent many lonely hours working on the story. Once I emailed it to him, he told me, “This is it, baby. This is the one.” Turns out he was right.
Now, I have five books published and two more, including the opening book of a new series, coming out in March.
Three of my favorite TV and movie couples:
• Edward Lewis and Vivian Ward. In Pretty Woman, both characters were struggling to find their way. Edward was highly successful, yet unfulfilled. Vivian was a misguided girl who was attracted to the wrong type of man. Together, they learned a new way to live. He taught her to believe in herself and she showed him there was more to life than making money.
Why do you love your stories to be so scorching hot?
Subtlety has its place in the world, but my characters feel a burning passion for each other that doesn’t lend itself to veiled innuendos. Besides, I’m about as subtle as a bulldozer; it would be contrary to my nature.
