Sort of. There will be a story about Iggy who is in both series. I want to incorporate characters from WtF in it! Stay tuned...
Sidney Halston

Hi! End of June....fingers crossed! I'm re-writing it now because I didn't love version #1
Sidney Halston
Funny you should ask. ... Travis may in be in for a surprise (book 6). And I think after book 6, I may write a novella because certain characters deserve a big epic wedding and maybe you'll see some kids there. Thank you for writing and I'm so glad you're liking the series. Hope you have a smooth delivery! Xoxo

Hi there! Yes it will. I don't have a date yet, though. But soon because it's already in production. ☺

Yes! Laid out coming out later this year is Cain and Violet's story
Sidney Halston
I'm hoping to. I love that series.
Sidney Halston
Yes! Cain's book is #4. I'm currently writing it and I love it. I've cried a few times as I write. Next out will be Tony/Francesca.

I talk it out. My poor husband *sigh*. I just start rambling on and on about the issue and it normally just fixes itself through my rant, but sometimes he'll say something that may not exactly be the fix to the block, but it'll trigger a direction that I didn't see and then I stop whatever I'm doing and start typing because if the inspiration leaves..then, I may not be able to get it back.

Hands down, the people I've met. I have become friends with some of my favorite people during this process. Also…when you get a great review. I think, " wow! Someone actually liked it".

Write. Just sit and write. Write anything. It doesn't have to make sense. I don't write linearly. I'm what they call a pantser. I don't plot. I just write. If I've written 50K words and it makes no sense, I may nix it. But usually something will start forming around the 20K word mark and then I will have a direction that I can take. When I feel I've finished, I go back and read the mess I wrote and start editing, copying and pasting scenes that I think are out of order and at the end…it all works out. BUT--don't throw out whatever you nix. It may not make sense now, but in a year from now, you may reread it, and there may be a story in there somewhere.

I am currently trying to finish, Below the Belt, Book #3 of Worth the Fight, Series. It's HOT! It is also somewhat different than the 1st two because the heroine can kick some a** as well.
Sidney Halston
I think I'm always inspired to write. I always have some story happening in my mind. I write notes on everything-- my phone, napkins…etc. Reading inspires me a lot. I'll read a book and sometimes some inane subplot or background occurrence will trigger a "Oh…what if…" And then I run with it.

HI there! The idea for Against the Cage came from watching my husband training (he does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). I love the camaraderie between the guys at the gym and at the fights. They're these huge tough guys, and afterwards they hug and are completely friendly. And, when they win a big bout, they get all teary eyed. I love this. That's why the small town and the Academy itself plays such a big role. The romance part came to me after I came up with the friendship between Slade and Jack (and the rest of the gang).
