The clawed grip around her ankles as the sheet slithered down her body frightened her, even in her in-between state of sleep and wakefulness. More real than dream, sleep paralysis locked her in place and cut off the scream that would wake her and free her from this nightly, nightmare visitor.

I'd travel to Christine Feehan's Dark Carpathian world filled with warriors, vampires and Lycans, in search of my own life mate.

Hi Valerie, I am so sorry for this way overdue response. But YES! Book 2 of the series is due to be released on 22 Sept, 2018. And you're absolutely correct. This is Gabe's and Naomi's story. Gabriel's Fire is currently up for pre-order on iTunes, Kobo, Barnes & Nobles and Amazon. Thank you for asking! And I really hope you like it!

I think each book I write always leads me to the next. They're all connected in one way or another. My current book came about initially as a novella. Something I thought would be a quick project, and would force me into the next bigger project.

It's not hard to be inspired to write. There's always some story or line going through my head. At any given moment. Most of the time, while working on a current story, there's already another one niggling its way in between the empty spaces. Characters tend to speak to you off-line, while you're writing. Especially secondary characters. Even if they have no significant part at the time.

I'm close to release my second book in the Men of Thorne Enterprises romantic suspense series, entitled "Gabriel's Fire". While progressing through all of the pre-publishing stages for book 2, I'm currently working on a prequel for the series. This is a shorter story entitled "Love Conquers All". It gives insight/backstory into why the hero in book 1 is so pissed off at the heroine in "Love Hard Love Deep", which starts three years after she walked out on him.

I don't think I can express enough just how important support groups are. Or having your own personal cheerleader. Someone or a group of someone’s who keep you going when you're absolutely certain that you can't go on. Being surrounded by others with the same goals and aspirations keep you centered and moving forward. I have found that the author/writing community is an amazing group of people. Filled with an amazing collection of knowledge and experiences. And they are willing to share what they've learned to help others succeed.

I think the best thing about being a writer is having an outlet for all the fantasies that take place in my head. Deep thoughts. Intimate feelings. And I can express them, in any way I choose. And I have the luxury of using others (characters) to voice what I probably wouldn't dare say or do in reality. There's a certain kind of freedom that comes with writing. Not only am I able to stretch my imagination and incorporate fantasy into reality. I also get to share them with a lot of other people.

There is an ongoing debate among authors whether such a thing as writer's block even exits. I've heard arguments from both sides, and have decided that--I get stuck. And that's mainly because of my creative process. I don't outline or structure my novels. I might have an idea where the story is going, but I don't always know how I'm going to get there.
The way I handle the problem is either, breaking down the current chapter or scene and figuring out what I want to happen right then, a page/scene at time. Or, by calling up my two accountability buddies and talking the problem through. One is a writer, the other is a reader. Both have unique perspectives of the problem, and both offer great advice. Or, they just listen to me. Sometimes we just talk and end up stumbling onto a solution. Sometimes I just have to put it aside for a day or two. When I come back, ideas start to flow.
