I was asked recently how I got the inspiration for this series. It started with a question after hearing a news story about a closet (see #3 when it comes out). What would it be like if the woman running the charity constantly gave of herself, not realizing her own needs, and what if the hero can see this and recognizes her potential? So many ideas flooded me that I had a hard time picking but wanted to keep it at 3 stories for my first themed series. So there you have it! We'll see how well it is received. Maybe there will be more, maybe not. But I've been sitting on these for about 5 years and didn't want to wait any longer. My research included: Angel House- http://www.stfrancishouse.org/site/PageServer?pagename=SFH_homepage My Angel- http://www.chemoangels.net/ Angel in My Closet - Coming soon!- http://www.svdp-sf.org/index.html Many of the other websites I used are outdated, unfortunately. I have the intention to donate part of my proceeds to the charity that is nearest to the topic I write, but that must come after my cost to publish. Mainly I wanted to call attention to these oft ignored parts of our society. We are all part of a bigger whole and must love even the most downtrodden.

Why I do it this way. I decided to write romance but not erotica and nothing explicit because I believe in idealistic principles. I wanted to tell my friends what I do and hold my head high. I want to buck the system (you have to know me to get this) which is leaning heavily towards erotica and more explicit sex. I am a mom and I want a better world for my children, plus wanting them to know and be proud of what I do. I generally write at a 1-2 on a hotness scale of 5. That means bedroom doors stay closed IF there is sex but there is sexual tension and a developing relationship. I don't think sex is bad by a long shot. (:] I think it has a place in intimacy, which is what I attempt to show. I do not write inspy but do have a firm belief system. I feel what you believe is personal and you will be led to your path so I never preach. I hope that my romance stories cross all faiths and speak to everyone. I sincerely hope you enjoy my writing. Honestly, I thought the day I publish would never come, given my other challenges. But it came and I'm reviving my blog because of it. I'll be back!
