So, you are a writer

Were there ever five words which are heard more than once or twice. And, let’s not forget that, because the cover implies romance, the next question: “Is it like …?”. I will leave out the name of THAT book.

Actually, I am not just a writer. I am a working mother and wife as well as being a writer. Ironically, more recently, the writing came about as a means of relieving stress and boredom as my day job requires more than a few nights away from home in hotels. I had long since thought that no one would want to read what I had written. It was just a schoolgirl’s fantasy, after all …

In to my Facebook messages dropped a note from someone who ran an online role-play group related to one of my own favourite authors, Sherrilyn Kenyon. Would I be interested in writing with their group? Cutting to the chase, I started to write the part of one of the Dark Hunters of Ms Kenyon’s creations, and much to my surprise, I discovered that people liked the way that I interpreted how he might react after the story in ‘his’ book.

Unfortunately, that group imploded for various reasons, and I started my own group, the very early stages of the Hunter’s Arrow. I was delighted when my writing partner from the role-play group decided to continue writing with me, and even more so when another writer from that group joined us.

It seemed that we ‘clicked’ as writing partners, as demonstrated by us writing a first draft of what would become Volume 3 of our series over the Christmas break of 2014. Who would guess that by 2016, we would be writing the first draft of Volume 9?

And now? Where are we now? Volume 9 “Cythraul” is progressing. Volume 3 “Beta” is being edited for publication in October 2016. We have three very gifted and creative younger writers who have joined our group. I have made friends with people around the world. Yes, some whom I had called friends have parted company, but that is life.

In answer to that question above: yes, the stories do contain sex. And no, it is not like that ‘other’ book. If you want to know more, then look up the titles on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Smashwords and iTunes.
