A conversation about boundaries is always healthier than a blind expectation to obey

I aim to write polyamorous books with authenticity. I’m looking to explore different ways people identify themselves as poly to others. (Without using an app that allows one to check a box.)

Authors that influenced my love of reading

S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders – the first book I remember reading that I truly enjoyed

John Irving’s The Hotel New Hampshire – Started my love of the dark side as a young teenager

Stephenie Meyer – Twilight Saga – This book got me back into reading after decades of nothing.

Confessions of a Spicy Romance Author…Doggie Distractions

Meet Boomer (Bernese Mountain Dog/Cavalier King Charles), Tanner (Aussiedoodle), and Bash (Cavalier King Charles)

All three are a distraction from writing and a cure for writer’s block. Taking the dogs for a walk while listening to an audiobook helps get me back on track.

Authors are readers before they become writers

I read romance books with all levels of heat. Recently, I have been on a dark romance kick. I’m welcome to all book recommendations, so if you have any, please leave them in the comments below.

I tend to stick to contemporary romance. I’m not into romantasy, but I do love paranormal romance. Bring on the werewolves and vampires.

I love almost all tropes. Please don’t spoil the plot with trigger warnings.
