Why I write.
When I first started writing I thought the goal was to write what you love to read. Makes sense, right?
What I learned after meeting other struggling writers is that writing for readers and writing for publishers is not the same. Publishers are the people who spend their days doing research. They look into trends, predict what will be the top selling romance sub-genre in 2018. But I often wonder…how may of them read for pleasure? It’s like the fourth year college student who reads textbooks all day. How many of them are going to want to crack open a book and pleasure read at ten o’clock at night?
So I decided early on that self-publishing was the better route for me. I didn’t want to write for those who study fiction like a science.
I want to write for women like me. The ones who deal with heartache in their life and can’t escape the devastating reality of every news report that comes on over morning coffee. The women who navigate the perilous terrain of raising children to be responsible adults and contributing members of society. The women who have enough real life drama and choke on it more often than not.
I write for readers who want to escape to a place where heroes exist for all women regardless of their flaws. The place where good wins over evil, every time. A place where she can let herself be taken on a journey safely because she knows in the end she’ll be placed lovingly on a pillow of Happily Ever After. So that when she finishes that book with a heavy sigh and a smile, she can go back to her real life recharged and ready to face the day with renewed strength.
I can say with conviction that reading romance in all it’s varieties has gotten me through some difficult times. Writing romance has done the same.
Reading and writing is a wonderful escape, and if I can accomplish anything, I hope it’s creating beautiful places for that to happen. That’s why I write.
Book#1
What happens when in order to win, you’re forced to lose?
The only daughter of an infamous Las Vegas pimp, Raven Morretti grew up an outsider. Liberated from the neglectful home of her prostitute mother, she finds solace as a mechanic. With few friends, she’s content with the simple life. Flying under the radar is all she knows, and more than she expects.
Until she catches the eye of local celebrity, UFL playboy Jonah Slade.
Weeks away from his title fight, Jonah is determined to stay focused on everything he’s trained so hard to achieve. Undefeated in the octagon, he’s at the height of his career. But resisting Raven’s effortless allure and uncomplicated nature is a fight he can’t win.
Jonah trades in his bad-boy reputation and puts his heart on the line. But when her father contacts her, setting in motion the ugly truth of her destiny, Jonah must choose. In a high-stakes gamble where love and freedom hang in the balance, a war is waged where the price of losing is a fate worse than death.
Will the hotheaded Jonah be able to restrain his inner fighter to save the woman he loves?
Or will Raven be forced into a life she’s been desperate to avoid?
