Maybe I was bored, or lonely, or there was a void so deep inside of me that I needed something explosive to fill it. I don’t know what I was thinking when I hired someone to attack me. The point is to ask yourself: what makes someone redeemable? What are the consequences of vengeance? Putting aside the analytic stuff, DEBT is smokin’ hot.

It might not be the darkest book you have ever read (though for some it may be), but the point is not the be the darkest. Make sure to sign up to my newsletter to stay tuned if you are not already signed up! eepurl.Nina’s note: Debt is not for the faint of heart.

I’ll be posting the title and blurb soon! Now, I’m not saying never, because I could have a moment of inspiration in the shower and suddenly I am writing a related book.įor now, I will be moving on to my next project which is nothing like DEBT, or Strapped, or GRS. They now have each other and will sure as hell need each other to face the pain they have both endured. That is where I wanted to say goodbye to the characters and their story. And I just want to leave them in their moment of tearful and joyous reunion. Their futures will be complex, not something I could even sum up in an epilogue or novella. To write some picket fence future for Tax and Mia would not be in line with the life they will have to face. I know that makes me an outlier, but that’s how I write. As a result, I very rarely write them because I write what I like to read. As a reader, I am not a fan of detailed endings that go out into the future and give you a summary of their future lives. They end up where they will always inevitably end up, back with each other, for better or for worse. This was the story of the past and present converging to the very spot they end in the book. I made a decision to end DEBT the way I did. (You might want to stop here if you want to go 100% blind into DEBT.) So as soon as I outlined DEBT, I put everything into this one book and I already had others waiting to be written. I have a very shitty attention span that way. I don’t want to be formulaic as far as putting out the same type of book over and over. That’s what keeps me fresh, it makes my writing improve. I have so many ideas, and they aren’t all in the same genre. After writing the long trilogy that is Strapped, I just want to be able to switch from one project to the next. I always intended for DEBT to be a standalone. So I figured the best way to address the most common one would be in a blog post: What’s next? And now it’s happening and I don’t know what to do with myself! LOL.Īnyway, I have been getting a lot of messages. It’s the kind of thing I dreamed of when I first published Strapped a year and four months ago: releasing a book that people buzz about. It’s thrilling, and honestly for me, a little nerve-wracking. DEBT has exploded in a way I had never anticipated.
