First big fan! I read that your writing style is similar to Gena Showalter, I think your story telling is so creative that it actually reminds more of Kresley Cole? Any other influences you have had lately? *btw couldnt get pass book 3 from Gena S., yours I finished in 2 weeks, so good and addicting!

Setta Jay It always amazes me when my style is compared to such amazing writers. Thank you! xx

Let's see... I write what I love and there are so many authors that could've affected the way I do things on a subconscious level. Below are some of the aspects I enjoy incorporating into my stories along with some authors that likely influenced my style in those particular areas.

Strong and smart heroines: Judith McNaught (I love that her historical heroines are so intelligent), Larissa Ione, Nalini Singh, and Thea Harrison

Multiple POV: Shannon Butcher and JR Ward

Erotic content: Lora Leigh, Maya Banks and probably Larrell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series

World building: Kresley Cole, Larissa Ione (I love her Demonica world) and Gena Showalter

Sexy alpha males: Gena Showalter, Lora Leigh and Kristen Ashley

I'm sure there are a great deal more that my brain won't pull up right now. LOL

xx
