Hi EmJay-
Thank you! I would love to release audio versions of my books. Lately I've been listening to a lot more audiobooks and so the idea has become even more appealing. It's something I plan to explore in the next year.

I think writing about the characters from the Commitment series is something I do often because it's both enjoyable and, quite honestly, easy. I know them so well at this point that it's not difficult to follow them into new and different circumstances, nor to widen their circle. But having said that, after 2017, I hope to challenge myself more by writing about completely unrelated characters.(less)

'The Soulmate' by Sally Hepworth

I really enjoyed this one. Sally Hepworth is the kind of domestic suspense writer I most gravitate toward. The surprises and twists are well within the realm of the possible, never go for cheap shock value, and the characters are always flawed and interesting with full backstories, the details of which she sprinkles gradually throughout her novels without being too heavy-handed about it. And then

“He had never thought in his wildest imagination of marriage as an option for
him. Never believed there was a woman out there that would make him sign up for that particular brand of madness. And, in the abstract at least, it still sounded like madness but this wasn’t about marriage, it was about Riley. With her, he knew that boyfriend-girlfriend shit wasn’t going to be enough. He had to have her locked down.
Nia Forrester, Commitment

“Brendan's not the guy you use to figure your shit out, Brendan's the guy you hope you get once you have figured your shit out.”
Nia Forrester, Unsuitable Men

“I had lunch with my brothers,” Mark said, his face serious. “While you were still asleep. They told me. About Corey and that stupid set-up you agreed to where you’d pretend not to be my wife . . .”
“I never agreed to pretend not to be your wife,” Dylan said.
Mark’s face grew serious then. “That’s what it amounted to in the end though, didn’t it? You pulled away from me in exchange for me getting . . . what?”
“Your career back,” Dylan said. “Your life.”
“Dylan, you’re my life. You.
Nia Forrester, The Seduction of Dylan Acosta
