                  Q & A TIME!
Q1. What inspired your latest piece?
A. My latest piece “Glome’s Valley” was inspired by the Heavener Runestone in Heavener, OK located in southeast Oklahoma.  The huge sandstone monolith sits upright with ancient carving that MIGHT be Viking carved into the stone long before Columbus came to America.  The area is beautiful and I was inspired to write an Oklahoma fairy tale complete with a modern boy and his cell phone using an app to contact Thor for help.

Q2. What is you secret ingredient/s for writing a great book?
 A. I love to write several genres.  I am an avid reader and I write children’s books, mystery suspense, and pulp fiction.  I think the multi-genre angle keeps my writing fresh.  I learned a long time ago you can’t “force write” and even though I plan my stories, I start with a spark from my imagination.
 
Q3. How do you feel about Editors?
A. I love my editors.  They make me look good.  I don’t always agree with them at first, but normally they are right because they see things in my writing that I don’t see because I am too close to it.

Q4. Favourite Word?
A. Inspiration

                                 Q & A TIME!
Q1. How often do you write?
A.I write every day. As soon as my kids leave for school, I have my cup of tea in hand and I head to my office. I honestly have to make myself stop most days. Once I’m writing it’s like the world I live in is gone and I’m submerged into the world I’m writing about.

Q2. How would you like the world to remember you?
A. For me, it’s not about the world remembering me. It’s about my children being proud of their Mom. When I graduated high school, I got married and started my family. I don’t have a college education, or some big degree. I’m a mother and wife first and foremost and seeing that my children are proud of me is all that matters.
 
But, in saying that I would hope to impress upon other writers who think they can’t write just because they don’t have a formal education, work in a grocery store, a fast food joint, or simply choose to be a stay at home Mom, that it is the farthest thing from the truth! We all have a story waiting to be told.

Q3. What does your family and friends think of your writing? Are they supportive?
A. My friends and family always told me I was a good writer that it just came naturally to me. In fact, if my best friend could she would like to pound that fact into my brain! LOL
But, I would’ve never continued to write if one of my friends hadn’t told me she loved my book Mixers, and promptly asked when the next one going to be finished. After that, I wrote the second book in a month, and I’ve kept going ever since.
 
My husband Bob is truly the sweetest man. He and my children support me 100%. Bob is an Iron worker out of Boston, and on the back of his truck he has a 25”X17” magnet of the image below of three of my books. This is how much my very handsome rugged husband loves and supports me. I don’t know if I could go onto a job site with this on my truck if I was a man! LOL.

Title: The Domination Game
Genre: Romance, Erotica

Adire or A.B. to her friends, is back in Boston after a long absence. She’s called in to help with a PR problem with Gravin Oil Company & Industries, when she meets the owner. A tall, persistent, Texan who doesn’t know how to play by her rules, but insists that he wants to learn how.

For Davis Mills, the Texas billionaire and the mogul at the head of Gravin Oil, the game is all about winning. Even though he is more inclined to be on his ranch back home then too stuck in an office in Boston, he will get his Grandfathers Company back it its glorious reputation. But, when he meets the strong, seductive Ms. Black, all thoughts turn on how to captivate this woman who is all too happy to turn the tables on him.

What happens when a Dominatrix meets a strong Alpha male? And just who will win the power struggle of submission?

                           Q & A TIME!
Q1. How often do you write?
A. Every day… ok, most days. I aim for an hour a day, and between blogging, social media, guest posts, and my WIP I do at least that if not more. But I am trying to work more time into my WIPs. I think I need to start spending an hour a day just on my WIP!

Q2. What inspired your latest piece?
A. Hell School- Fresh Meat (Due out in March) is actually based on my very real and very terrifying experience of being stalked in high school. It will be a four part series.

Q3. Of all the things you could have done, why write?
A. Ha-ha, I ask myself that quite often! Honestly, because I cannot stop writing. I have dabbled in a lot of crafts from acting, modelling, and performing to marketing, data entry and retail, but for as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed story telling. From 1st grade on I knew I wanted to be a writer. Throughout all those other jobs, I never stopped writing. I just knew that I needed something to support me while I wrote.

Q4. Favourite Word?
A. Ha, it changes often! I love words and am always looking to learn new words. Currently my favorite is petrichor (the smell of rain.)

                       Q & A TIME!

Q1. Of all the things you could have done, why write?
A.   I’ve always loved storytelling so writing is a natural extension of that aspect of my personality.  It’s very rewarding for me to bring characters to life on the page and send them on some kind of journey where they learn something.  At least, that is the ultimate goal.

Q2.  How do you juggle writing with your daily life? (Especially if you aren’t a full-time writer)
A. It’s tough.  Coming up with a premise is very specific exercise where I sit down and brainstorm ideas for an hour at a time until I find something worth pursuing.   I may do a couple brainstorming sessions or a dozen, it depends on inspiration and is therefore unpredictable.  Once I have begun writing though, I think about the story at random times: while driving, waiting in line at the store, or showering in the morning.  Since I don’t get to write every day, I’ll scribble down ideas as they come to me.  Usually, it’s a line or two of dialog. In some cases, it’s an idea for a new chapter. They are the fuel I’ll use to write when I get a chance to sit down at my laptop.

Q3. How do you know your story is done and is ready for publication?
A. I read the story out loud and hear how it sounds.  If the writing is good and the characters sound real, if it feels like a complete story that I enjoy, I’ll turn it over to be copy edited and published.

Q4. Favourite Word?
A.     Satire

Author: Chantol Aspinall
Country: Jamaica
Genre: Christian Romance

Summary:
“I’m tired,” he said.
She made a few steps in an effort to embrace him. He wanted none of it. No comfort. His mission wasn’t to be consoled. It was to leave. He held his hands out, stopping her dead in her tracks.  
 “I need a new life. A fresh start which does not include you. Don’t get me wrong, Terry. Together we made great memories, but it’s no longer working for me.”
His words ripped through her flesh and bones and managed to sever her soul.
“What if I-“
“Nothing remains forever, you know that,” John said.
John scanned the room to ensure he packed all he possessed. Satisfied, he went to leave but Terry blocked the door.
 “Woman, move out of my way!” he said, causing her to flinch. Stubborn, she remained unmoved.
He narrowed his gaze, making eye contact with her. There was a mixture of pain and love, yet no regret all combined in her beautiful face. However, he refused to make her deter him from a better life.
“I said move!” he repeated, pushing her out of his way, causing her to lose her balance.
To regain her steadiness she grabbed his shirt and ended up tearing it in the process. Her repayment; a backhand which sent her crashing to the floor.
“I’m so sorry, Terry!”
He never laid his hands on her - ever. Guilt gripped his conscience. To make some sort of amends became his new mission.
