There is a saying which says music soothes the savage beast. For me, writing soothes this author’s soul.

I’ve said it before on my blog. The characters write the story. I merely hold the pen. I think a lot of authors would agree with me. Characters have a way of getting under my skin if I haven’t written anything in a while or if my idea differs from how they think the At times, the creative process can be annoying.

My husband can always tell if I go periods of time without getting into a story. He says I get short and grumpy. That’s because writing to me is the ultimate form of self-expression. Much like readings, I submerge myself into the story. Transported to another world or galaxy. It’s time to escape from every day boring drama and hang on for a wild ride. When I’m writing, I’m not worried about cleaning my house or if my car needs maintenance. The dishes can wait for a few more hours. I don’t care if I had a bad day at work or my microwave isn’t working. I’m focused on Dr. Madison Brooks and her adventures. My attention is on Ember Wilson and the rest of the Amethyst team as they attempt to save Earth from a raving scientist who has frozen D.C. and California. The rest of the world is put on hold.

Sometimes it’s good to get away. At times, getting lost in Maddie’s story is more beneficial than a vacation. I’m still in my recliner, on my laptop. But I’m really underneath a purple sky or dealing with a different species with scales covering their blue bodies and horns coming out of their head. And they plan on taking over a planet but Mack, Jackson, Maddie and the others stand in their way. Now I’m caught in a battle as the team attempts to save a benevolent race from being enslaved.

I always feel like a weight has been taken off me by the time I have to shut down my computer for the night. Sometimes I’m exhausted depending on where I am in the book. My characters are a part of me and I tend to leave a little bit of me in the pages you read in my stories. It’s the ultimate therapy. Escaping within the pages, putting your heart on the line… It’s a great release. But don’t take my word for it. There are two sci-fi romance series to choose from. Pick your pleasure: clones or genetically engineered super-soldiers.
