You will
often hear me say that my muse is an unpredictable and contrary little so and
so. She can drive me hard or she can take herself off to lie by the pool and make
out with hot men gather inspiration in the name of research, of course…
*grins*
Oh yes, my
muse is definitely female and very mischievous. She'll bombard me with snippets
of ideas all the time, and once she's decided that I need to tell a story, she
will throw a hero at me. Yep, it's always the hero who sits on my shoulder. The
very first of those heroes was Sven, the hero in the first manuscript I ever
wrote.
Sven is
based on this young man
Alexander Skarsgard |
and he's
taught me many things.
1.) That my muse is definitely visual.
2.) That I'm a panster and that
resistance is futile.
3.) That characters are always, always, right.
4.) That I'm an Erotic writer, and to
even try and turn down the heat is a useless exercise
5.) To never, ever, give up.
You see Sven was not only my first, he was also my most demanding hero, and I've re-written his story three times now.
He was the first contract I signed two years ago, (unfortunately that publisher turned out to be a nightmare), and having recently regained my rights to his story, yesterday saw me sign another contract.
*dances*
The Housewife and The Film Star is coming to Evernight Publishing in October and I'm still grinning that new and much improved Sven will have his day to shine. He might finally stop grumbling at me.
Now for my Giveaway, which is open internationally.
I'm giving away two $5.00 Amazon GCs. To be eligible to win, hop across to my website and tell me how many books I've released since Sven originally started growling. You can find see them all on my books page.
Before I go let me share my upcoming release Auctioned To The Honorable Dom.
This story is another example of my muse going little crazy. All it took was this pic
Fifteen years her senior, Slade had thought her too fragile and innocent for the lifestyle then, and he made a promise to her brother to leave her alone. This time he cannot walk away, especially as Laura is not the innocent girl he remembers. She has grown into a beautiful woman willing and able to gift him with her submission, and their chemistry cannot be denied.
As he explores her boundaries and pushes her further than she has ever been taken before, Laura flies, but their painful past may prove one obstacle too many.
There's only one thing Slade can do…
Releases September 25th with Bookstrand
