I definitely did not know that.
AnonymousI pronounce it own-air-roy. Although, some people pronounce all of the letters making it own-ee-air-roy. I prefer to keep it simple. 🙂
I can attest to the fact that this is real life. I often wish my life had as much witty banter as hers.

AnonymousFirst of all, congratulations! Finishing an entire novel is something to be proud of.
I have developed a process through several books. This is what I do:
1. I put away the MS for at least two weeks (usually 3-4 weeks). It is tempting, but I don’t look at it at all. Then, I go through and do a quick clean up. This is mostly catching missing words and horrible typos. Writing at 3:00 AM always provides some humorous errors (sell phone instead of cell phone…or the scandalous: pubic instead of public…yeah, that happened).
2. It is at this point I hand a hard-copy of the MS over to some trusted beta readers.

Yes, I do have some brainstorming done for three different projects. I’m not sure which one I will do first. I have a Hollywood producer wanting me to write a few novellas that can be turned into scripts. One of those projects is a reboot of a fairy tale.
I am also planning on writing a few more extras and putting all of the shorts together into one book.

The simplest possible answer is that it made her feel like property—and more specifically—a whore. Remember that this is an emotional response and she hasn’t had even twenty-four hours to digest this information. She already feels like her life has been stripped away and she is living like a prisoner. To be told that if the man she loves can’t do the deed, then they should just have someone else do it was demeaning.
Ali would have probably ended with the same conclusion Winslow had suggested, but it was too soon. Everyone was thinking it, but Gabriel and Joshua were at…

First of all, thank you for reading. I am honored that people are passionate about my books. Unfortunately, we can’t *make* people like what we like. I am a little baffled on the not having enough personality. Ali is strong and sassy in my mind’s eye…

I think it is one of the highest forms of flattery. Love it. 🙂

Yikes! Ummm. There are so many directions I could go with this.
If someone says that they are going to hurt you, believe them. Run away. It is a terrible excuse for bad behavior and it should not be tolerated or accepted. The chances of “fixing” someone like that is beyond rare. So, like I said, run away.
And that is officially the first time I have written any dating advice.
We might have laughed at her when she said it was going to be a short story. But I am certainly not complaining at how it turned out!

I may at some point. I have a difficulty with short sometimes. In fact, I intended ALLURE to be a novella (20,000-40,000 words). It ended up organically growing into much more, both in word count and story. I’m glad that I didn’t stick to my original plan. I am proud of the way it turned out. The total word count was 82,000 words.

The answer is actually pretty simple. I had said that people are drawn to her and that she is a leader. If she didn’t have lots of friends I felt it would be a kind of an empty characteristic. I have read many books where the protagonist is dubbed a “leader,” but only has two friends. I wanted to show not just say it.
Now, that being said, it was my first novel. If I was doing it again, I would probably have cut two and developed Kaela and Marie a little more. But throughout the novel she is actually pulling away from her group of friends in order…
