I wanted to create a more realistic mafia story. I mean come on, why would a powerful mafia boss let a young outsider disrespect him? It just isn't realistic, and I got tired of reading the same plots over and over. I just wanted to do something different.
2 what was something you struggled constructing with your story?
Trying to keep the realism without going overboard. Especially where the proper use of guns were concerned. The mafia is full of a lot of violence, so it was a bit of a challenge to balance the romance and action, but I think I did a good job in the end.
3 what has been the overall response of your story from your readers?
Amazing! I had over 10k comments in just 10 weeks! Unfortunately, that success came with some drawbacks as some jealous person spam reported my story and wattpad unfairly took it down. When I contacted them about it they apologised, blaming it on some automatic system they had and they could not restore it. So I had to reupload the story. I edited some parts and added some additional content and many of the re-readers love this new version even more, so I suppose it was all a blessing in disguise.
4 what did you enjoy writing most about your story?
The dynamics between the two main characters. Jade is a sadist and Dominic is a pyromaniac. They are both damaged, physically and emotionally, but balance each other perfectly. I had never written such over the top characters before, but I loved every minute of it.
5 is your story a stand alone novel or part of a series?
Blood Power and Desire is the first in a four part series.
6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?
That even broken people can find their place in this world and no matter a person's past, they can overcome anything.
7 what advice would you provide to other writers, when it comes to focusing on their story?
To write the story that they want to read and write about. That way, no matter what obstacles they face, they will still enjoy what they are doing.
8 does the main character share any similarities with yourself?
Her fierce loyalty to those around her.
9 what is something of your story, you believe would draw in new readers?
I think my unique take on a mafia romance, as one just needs to read the extended blurb to see that Jade and Dominic's story is a unique and addictive one.
10 do you have any other future projects?
Yes, I am currently working on a fantasy romance involving Lycans. It's called Mine At First Sight.
