It’s very satisfying to take an idea and have it come to life as a full novel/story. Traveling along with my characters as they live their lives and find their way together. What is your favorite thing about writing? As I continued, I fell in love with my characters and the story itself. I started with a little idea based on a problem I was faced with (see below) and started writing from there. I have written most of my life, but serious work on writing for such stories as Designs of Desire didn’t begin until I began writing the story in question more than a year ago. I’d like to welcome the wonderful Tempeste O’Riley as my guest today! Tempeste has just recently had her debut novel, Designs of Desire, released at Dreamspinner Press, and she’s going to be telling us a little bit about it.Īlso, Tempeste will be giving away a couple of copies of Designs of Desire as well as a couple of gift cards, so be sure to click on the Rafflecopter link at the bottom of this post! 🙂 This is a posting of 4 pictures of hot men (in both the single and plural sense and in any way, shape, form, or position that I can find them… phew!) that’ll hopefully put that bounce back in your step to get you through the rest of the week – hey, it works for me, so why not 😉

So, I’ve decided to create Wake Up Wednesday. You find yourself dragging along and in desperate need of a pick-me-up, and what better way to pull yourself out of that daze then HOT men.

You’re halfway through your five-day grind at work and you just want it to be over with. 😉 The usual blurb – I’ve always thought of Wednesday as the longest day of the week. Hellooooooo kink!Īnyhoo! I’m continuing my men in uniform theme from last week’s hot firemen to this week’s sexy policemen.Įnjoy the lovelies! And don’t be afraid to let your mind wander a bit – oh hell, might as well let it wander a lot – with the cuffs. Ahhhhhh – as an erotic romance author so many different scenarios just came to my head that involved handcuffs.
