Forbidden and writing

I just received Editor’s Choice for Forbidden on Romance in Color (www.romanceincolor.com). It was a wonderful review and made my day. I sometimes grapple with my ego when it comes to my writing, wondering if readers will enjoy. Criticism has always been hard for me. Not that I’m a perfectionist (I am one of the least organized people I know), but my writing is important to me and extremely personal. Forbidden, probably more than any of my stories past, present, and future is very taboo in regards to love. I debated whether to even publish it out of fear of what others would say. Thankfully, I was able to put my ego to the side and share. I have had fans of this story since I posted a version of it on Wattpad last year and new fans since it was released April 19 and subsequent sequels on May 3. I have to remind myself that I write for a multitude of reasons, but the main one is because it is my therapy. Whether one person or many love my stories, at the end of the day I can’t lose sight of my own purpose in writing…to teach life lessons to myself and to my readers! Take care as always and happy reading!

  1. Oh my goodness your writing is so good! I’m not even sure how I stumbled across your books but I was so glad I did. I read a LOT of romance novels (it’s my escape). I feel like you figured out what was wrong with the romance novel formula and fixed it. I have to admit I was skeptical about the taboo topic but I’m so glad I read it. The books were good and I loved the characters. Congratulations on a great job! I can’t imagine the work that goes into writing a book.
