Getting to know me...

Hi! I thought I would start posting some bits about myself and how real life inspires my writing. I want everyone to have their fairy tale. I want everyone to have a fun sex life and never feel ashamed about what they enjoy. It should never feel shameful if it's consensual and safe.
I tend to write characters with more realistic jobs, who aren't the billionaire type. I want steam, feels, lessons, and a capturing story. I hope. I want to entertain, provoke, and intrigue.
Please feel free to ask any questions. As we go along, you'll see I'm kind of open, crazy, wild, free, and adventurous. *points down* see, that's me at the 2017 Naturally Naughty in NOLA signing, getting painted up by the phenomenal Angela Roberts from Skin Wars. Then, I sat and signed like that the whole day, LOL.
Besides that, I've was a burlesque performer for years, a roller derby referee, a bartender in the Quarter, spent a semester in Madrid, Spain (alone) studying Literature, have studied respiratory therapy and cardiopulmonary technology, for a while wrote for a music zine (and even edited for for a short period) interviewing bands, reviewing music, competed in amateur bodybuilding and fitness competitions...well, you get the idea.
So, please join me.
Be free. Live. Laugh. Love.

Body Paint, Buff Dudes, and Book Signing

This past weekend I participated in my very first book signing:

Naturally Naughty In NOLA.

I have to tell you that it was the best time ever!

My only regret is not getting to meet all of the other authors or partake of the before and after parties.

Next time, I will not tell family I am there, hahaha!

I was unable to interact much at set up because this was happening!

That's right! I got body painted from the waist up body the reknown Angela Rene Roberts from Season One of Skin Wars!

I showed up like this:

and was transformed. I did the whole four hour event topless...

Hey, you know me.

Angela's husband, Cully Firmin, was the male model. He was a brave soul and went bare ass, and front too! Here we are toward the end of the signing.

I met so many wonderful people, authors, bloggers, readers, male cover models!

Alfie Gordillo

and Dusty Griffin

Two of the sweetest hunks of men you will ever get the pleasure of meeting!

This is my newest companion, Slick the Fox.

He has been bombing my Instagram with his cute self, and even attended the event with me.

He stayed and watched my table all day. 

Be prepared to see Slick and my adventures

Music as Influence and Inspiration...

I often get asked about where my ideas come from.

Sometimes, it's based off of something I've heard, seen, fantasy...

Usually, I have the base idea in my head.

I always listen to music.

Of course, at the gym, in the house, when I sleep.

Many times, songs will impact me and the lyrics will cause images in my head, that more times than not, play into the story that I am working on.

I thought I would share some of the songs that played a large part in both of my books.

Well, these two had a huge hand in Candy & Kink.

Lola Montez - Volbeat

The Kill - Thirty Seconds to Mars

These three songs are Faith in Ripped & Twisted. 

Everything in these are constantly rolling through her mind.

Complete inspiration to evolve the character.

In This Moment - Whore

In This Moment - Blood 

Five Finger Death Punch - Coming Down

FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!
