I know you’ve heard me say this before, but some characters are just louder than others. Each one of them is different, but some characters just keep chattering and want to tell me everything from what they had for breakfast to what they want to do next year. Loren was one of the chatty kinds.

For me, one of the hardest things about writing is keeping anything short.

Archer and Declan are finally here. The Beautiful Shame books are always some of my favorite to write. The dirty talk and edging are so much fun to write and the characters always have tons of chemistry and emotional connections. Archer and Declan have that same chemistry from the first time they meet, and in between the sexy teasing and the dirty talk, you can see how they come to care for one another. If you’re looking for something sexy and sweet to read that has a dash of kink and some fun cameos (Archer works in insurance…hint hint) check out these two. Here’s the first chapter if you’re curious.

Starting a book for me is always a very random process. I find inspiration in odd things like song lyrics or comments on the radio or bits of conversations I hear when I’m running errands. Sometimes it’s a picture, but not very often. Usually finding a picture that fits my idea of who the characters are comes late in the process. But once in a while, that changes. A few weeks ago I was browsing through Facebook and I saw a premade cover (a book cover a designer had put together randomly and not for any specific author) and I knew he was one of my guys. But I didn’t know what I was going to do with him. I […]

Foreplay has always been one of my favorites parts of a book to write. I love the teasing and the build-up and everything that leads to sex when two people are perfect for each other. I think that’s why I love my Beautiful Shame series so much. It’s a series where I get to give myself permission to add in all the dirty talk and teasing I want, and somehow it just makes the story come together even more perfectly in my head. As I sat down in October and started playing with different ideas about who the characters would be for the next Beautiful Shame book, Archer and Declan came to life quickly. Archer looks all sweet and shy […]

I’ve always loved sci-fi books. Aliens who crash on earth and fall in love…Stargate…Star Trek…Captain Picard was my first love. I’ve always imagined writing science fiction of some sort, but I never pictured my first alien book being about tentacles. Of course, it turned out to be so much fun to write, I had to do another. His Human is the second in the New Neighbors series. In My Cameron, you met Cameron’s best friend and boss Trip. Well, His Human is Trip and Maverick’s story. If you haven’t read any of the chapters of this in my Facebook group or in the newsletter, I can’t wait for you to see how sexy and funny they are. I love getting […]

I know some of you have browsed through my MA Innes books on Amazon and scrolled through all the stories I’ve written before stopping at My Cameron and giving it a curious look. The cover alone definitely makes it stand out, but aside from the aliens aspect, it’s really the same sweet, sexy type of characters that are in my other books. Some of you have heard this story before, but I originally started thinking about tentacles from a post in a Facebook book group. A few people were talking about tentacle porn and just having a good time and it got me thinking about what my version of tentacle porn would look like. Sweet and dirty and much more […]
