#Ask the Author: Story Behind Hawk's Honor

 


Question: I'm intrigued with the idea of a Native American hottie who can shift into a hawk.What inspired the story Hawk's Honor?

Coming February 28

I cherished my childhood summers at the family cottage on a lake in Michigan. The neighbor next door, a member of the local Chippewa tribe, would thrill us with the legends and dances of his people. He taught us the importance and spirituality regarding the balance of nature. His stories of people who could shift from human to animal at will inspired me to write my own versions.

After writing Eagle Dance, a red-tailed hawk appeared in my yard after a storm and spent the day with me to rest. The large bird sat on the tongue of our snowmobile trailer studying me with dark eyes, rimmed with gold. Through a mist the creature shifted into an incredibly sexy Native American man. With a mischievous grin, he moved in a graceful manner to sit on a fallen log. Jamie Hawke introduced himself as a Chippewa and a Marine.

He quickly consumed a plate of chocolate chip cookies and entertained me with adventures he shared with his best friend in MARSOC. Hawks often endure a difficult time finding the perfect mate and his turned out to be his commander. Eventually, he might have to choose between love and honor. After the enjoyable afternoon, he shifted and flew towards his next mission.

Madame Eve’s 1 Night Stand might help him sort out his feelings. We shall see. Please enjoy Hawke’s story.

OH, by the way...I’ve placed a few Easter Eggs in this story and a few teasers of who gets their story told next.

Ask the Author: What Inspired Queen of Hearts?


Your Valentine romance, Queen of Hearts features a Alice in Wonderland themed costume party and a really hot couple. What inspired the book?

There is a game a group of we authors play. Someone will post a photo and with a particular time frame, 20 minutes or 20 days, we create our own stories. The best part is reading the variety of tales one image inspires. Ironically, my brain will focus on a photo or image and create a story. Taming Rachel, Dark Soul and Hawk's Honor derived from single photos.

When I wrote the original Valentine's Day romance, Queen of Hearts, a photo in a Lover's Lane catalog set the wheels turning.

Simmering Love

The temps are low and the snow has blanketed the woods. Flyboy is flying somewhere over the Pacific leaving the house quiet. (Well except the ruckus the cat makes when she has the zoomies.)

Since today is a writing day, I've decided to put a simmer pot on the stove. Everytime I make one, I hear my grandmother's voice. "Create a pleasant scent to fill a room and make it cozy." She showed me various fruit, spice and floral combinations to achieve different scents. Some scents are to improve health while others are relaxing. 

Stepping outside to collect some pine needles inspired me to make today's pot FRESH. 
I always start with fresh well water with a dash of sea salt to enhance the fragrance. I added lemons and lavender for their calming effect. The lemons & pine create a crisp, clean scent. Eucalyptus and rosemary produce a relaxing, spa-like aroma.

Benefits of a simmer pot include:
     creating a cozy atmosphere in your home
    set a mood such as inviting, happy, warm, and even romantic
    having natural healing properties
 
Other than the wonderful fragrance, my favorite part of simmer pots is when my guys step in the door and say, "It smells good in here!"

Stay warm, loves!
