Hi Tara. Sorry for the delay, but thanks for the question! I didn't think anyone paid attention to my post about Humanity's Fall.
The "good" news is that the story became part of a larger series of books that I'm still developing. The "bad" news is that I'm currently writing a nonfiction book, so I won't be working on this project until about 2020.
I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for the question. 😊

I write using a variation of a screenwriter's method. That means I have a detailed outline for each action/ reaction in each chapter. I don't really experience writer's block because I know where I'm going every time I sit down to write. If I get stuck on a word or a particular phrase that isn't coming to me, I just make a note of it and keep going. I can always clean up unformed ideas in the editing stage.

Write because you love to write. If you write for fame and fortune you'll be disappointed, even if you get the fame and fortune.

I'm currently working on three books right now.
The first is a crime anthology called the Dark End of the Street. All the stories in that collection revolve around people trying to use each other as property.
The second is a novel called A Touch of Honey which is a sequel to A Taste of Honey. It is the story of a young spy who tries to infiltrate a slavery ring so she can destroy it.
The third project is another anthology called Smoke and Shadow. The stories in this collection revolve around the moral and ethical choices people have to make as spies and assassins.

The idea for A Taste of Honey came from my desire to see an espionage story that had both a strong female protagonist and sexual elements that were fundamental to the narrative and not just thrown in for titillation.
