Matthew Jessup Carter, Jr. will be President. This has been the plan since his birth, dictated intricately by his father. However, one woman stands in the way.

Avery was never apart of the plan, but Matt finds himself in love with her, which poses major problems after his mother marries Avery's father, making Avery his step-sister.

A relationship with Avery causes scandal, leads to trouble and insurmountable challenges that neither Avery or Matt can contain.

Nothing can ever be Something That Simple... as love.

Something That Simple

Matt and Avery are young, far too young to endure the turmoil and strife in their lives, but that is to be expected when they come from rich elitist family’s that are more inclined to eat their young than raise them with a respect for true love over the love of money and a lust for power.
They are preyed upon, captured prisoners in their fate to please their family, charged to build a new generation of power and wealth.

Sorry no Angels, Gods, or Demons in this one; Just humans acting badly.

He will be President, but it is a tough journey to become the leader of the free world.

Matthew Jessup Carter, Jr. is a hard man to love, but Avery Best is up for the task.

Book 1 of Gator is free until Nov 4th. Jump on the bandwagon, grab a friend and read it until you scream and shout, Gad Stephen!!!

Love you all

Good news...I have been writing!

Right now I am working on closing out my Devil's Lesson series. It is my goal to have it all complete by the end of the year.

I did say that is my goal!

I also am working on some more erotic standalones, that I promised last year would be out this year.

I do love standalones!

It has been a while since I've posted anything, but right now I wanted to talk to you all about the Devil's Lesson series.

This is a different series from Gator Girl. Although there is a tie in to Gator Girl in this series, I am sure that most readers of Gator Girl are a bit bored in reading the Devil's Lesson, and I do understand.

Gator Girl was a rollercoaster of emotions. This a different kind of emotions that aren't so volatile, yet. But it will get there.

And I do believe that you will love it!

The Devil's Lesson is complex, and I intended it that way because I did not want to tell a normal story of Angels, with good vs. bad... There is a progression in this series that gives you a backstory of the players before you see what they will become, and what will ultimately unfold.

Ivan is, after all, being groomed to be the Anti-Christ!

He has a wonderful array of women that he will encounter. You will enjoy some of them, and some you will HATE!

I am on Book 2 and Book 3 will, hopefully, be out real soon. (couple of weeks)
I am trying to keep them smaller stories that are way under 1000 pages :)

The Devil's Lesson: In Devotion - Book 2

I loved the idea of the lessons. It is a bit of a lesson for everyone in each book, including for Ivan.

I think everyone will be very surprised and happy with the ending of the series, and what happens with Ivan... will he live or die? Does he ever have true love and happiness?

It is a dramatic tale, where you just don't know who is the good guy/girl and who is the evil one, from one second to the next.

I am trying to do this right, and I hope that I do it justice. It is really an incredible story.

If you rather wait for the standalones or for stories more like Gator Girl... I have those too, and I am so excited to bring them to you as well.

I will keep you posted on everything, and I really look forward to hearing/reading all of your feedback on The Devil's Lesson Series... (and as usual, I love the good and bad)

Thank you all for your support, and as always... Happy Reading.

1.) When did you start writing Crushing on the Rock Star? How long did it take you to flesh out the character? What was the good and the bad of writing these characters?



"It took about three months from start to finish to flesh out the characters and write the book. Once I had the character of Birdie Frost in mind, the story came pretty quickly. I had an image in my mind of a 24 year old woman who appeared to me like she was a songbird kept in a cage, her lack of freedom disallowing her her singing voice. Even though she was aware that she had been caged most of her life, she felt that she had no way of escaping and was pretty much resigned to her lot. She considered that that had been her life to date and it was to continue in that fashion, indefinitely. I fell in love with her character right away. The good and bad of writing this character was the feeling that I was like a parent watching the child make some pretty bad decisions with her life but knowing that she had to take the path she was on because ultimately it was her path to take and all paths are learning paths."

2.) Your writings state that they are clean romance... what made you lead in that direction?



"As a writer I'm more interested in the psychological makeup and development of the characters. All conflict in relationships springs from an inner conflict that each character is struggling with. I chose not to write "hot and steamy" romances or sex scenes because, quite frankly, for the most part, as a reader, they don't interest me. I usually flick through those pages of a book hoping that the text returns to the inner conflict of the character. My parents watched the old movies where love stories could carry you away with merely a look or a gesture shared between the couple falling in love. To recreate something of that passion on the page is a challenge."

3.) Do you have any books or characters that you love from the movies/books?



"Most of my favorite fictional romance characters come from the movies. I loved the on-screen chemistry of many of the classic movie stars such as those played by Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn, for instance. In fact, there's a whole list of them: William Powell & Myrna Loy, Cary Grant & Audrey Hepburn, Bogie and Bacall and so on. Then there's Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan but for more modern couples they tend to be one-time movies like Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams in the Notebook or even Brad & Angelina in Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

4.) Tell me anything about yourself that you want the readers to know.



"I place a good part of myself into each of the characters I write and enjoy asking the question, what if? In this way I get to explore different personas, different ages and sexes, locations and time periods. As the characters get to grapple with their inner conflicts, it's as if I am exploring my own. For instance, the character of Birdie Frost is someone that in her head she considers herself a rebel. However, the fact of the matter is that she has taken very little risks with her life and to all intents and purposes has been living like she is in fear of life and chooses a man to marry that she thinks will make her feel safe. Even though every reader of the book can tell right away that he is the wrong man for her, she can not see it, or rather, she refuses to see the truth until she is sent away to an alien world (to her) and meets a man that is living almost a polar opposite life to hers. Readers can tell right away that he is good for her but it takes her an age to see the truth and has to face up to the lies that she has been telling herself all along in order to live fully to her path and her truth. Through her character I get to ask the same questions of myself."

It is released and this is the true end to the series that I hope has captured your hearts and seduced your minds.

I really appreciate everyone hanging in there for the end. It has been a tough ride. I have never written such an emotional rollercoaster. I loved it and I hated it. In the end it was perfect for me.

I feel so much on this one. Even though it was not the first book that I have written, it was the first one that released for anyone to read. I took a chance and it has been so crazy. My life has endured so much through this.

Happy Reading!
