Yesterday was a great writing day! Dialogue was flowing, their chemistry was electric. Roth gave me some awesome quotes! 🥵😍 I had to do some research to fill in some plot things involving Rami and Ariana. 💣💰🔫 Happy that’s finally ...

2023-08-18 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostI just shared this on Discord because I couldn't help myself and I'm evil. Part of a scene I was working on yesterday:
Her nightmare was coming. Panic engulfed her. She had to get out of here. She beat her fists against the gold met... 2023-08-17 20:28:35 +0000 UTC View Post
OMG you guys! I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been wrestling with these opening chapters far longer than I thought I would. I think the original draft of this chapter was between 12-14k words. I divided this into three chapters to make it easier to ed...

He panted as if he was the one being suffocated, ... 2023-08-15 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

“Was I such a monster that you felt that you had to sell your soul to the devil to get away from me?”

I still have a bit more to do on the opening chapter. The dialogue bogged me down big time, but we're blasting through and will come back and clean and refine later during rewrites. The ups and downs in this long ass scene tires me out, but will d...

Hoping to complete this opening chapter which has been kicking my butt. It’s now close to 17k words. It may be split into 2 or 3 chapters later but it’s one continuous scene like the end of Bitter Secrets. Mostly dialogue and touching on super...
2023-08-09 20:06:06 +0000 UTC View PostI'm still fiddling with the annoying opening chapter because they address so many important topics. There's nearly two dozen versions of this scene from 2021 to now. The range in discussions, locations in the penthouse where this takes place, and ...

2023-08-04 23:07:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s been so long since I’ve read the beginning of Bitter Confessions that I forgot I wrote them as parts rather than books. In the original, the only flashback I showed during the course of the story was him showing up for her graduation. The...

This chapter is almost the length of a novella. 🙄 Editing what I wrote in 2021 and adding new stuff. They talk throughout the whole chapter. It's an ...
2023-08-03 23:44:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe original opening for Bitter Confessions goes right into the morning after Roth and Jasmine’s big fight in London. I thought it would be a good change of pace to have a softer intro. I brainstormed and decided to show Jasmine as a child. She...
2023-08-03 01:31:25 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve been thinking about this a lot as I delve into book 3 in the series. I think it’s more common for a series to have one couple per book. Christine Feehan, Nora Roberts, Nalini Singh come to mind off the top of my head. I love that, but mos...

2023-08-03 01:21:29 +0000 UTC View PostBecause of some references in Bitter Confessions, I knew I needed to work on this Roth & Maximus showdown. Since books 1-4 are from Jasmine’s POV, this scene will appear in an extra book (5) that will show different character POVs (mostly Ro...
