But not super DARK. I write to escape the trauma of life,
not cause it. I want to write memorable love connections not uncomfortable
moments that make you wish you could wash your eyeballs. I might challenge you,
a little, but hopefully not so much that you need therapy at the end of the
book. The capture/kidnap trope continues to be a favorite of mine so it's going
to always show up in my books as I explore it in all its nuances. For me, this
trope takes a character out of her life (against her will, without her consent)
and gives her the thing she always wanted but could never admit. She's forced
from survival mode into feeling again - and it hurts not because she's used,
humiliated, abused and assaulted, but because change is difficult, even when
it's the best thing that's ever happened to you -
Also, I have a spanking kink, apparently.
