Coffee Time Romance asked writers
“How much of your real life bleeds over into your books? And do you worry that someone will be able to tell the fact from the fiction?”
Here’s a snippet from my reply…
“…when they ARE my emotions, the causes of those emotions are often different. I’ve never been chased by hostile aliens, for example. But I HAVE been chased by hostile humans. I’ve never lost a best friend during a military battle, as another example. But I HAVE lost a best friend to her battle with cancer. I’ve never fallen in love with a cyborg. I HAVE fallen in love with a human male (the Dear Wonderful Hubby).”

Warlord Sky
No one grounds a barbarian warrior.
Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.
The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.
Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.
But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

CS: I love your writing. I’m a fan, but I’m definitely not a fan of BBW. In fact, I would go so far to say that if you are going to write about large women, you need to make a few of the heros large as well….and not in the good way (think beer belly). Fair is fair. But that wouldn’t sell, right? So, while I am a real fan of your writing, could you balance your books with some NON BBW heroines?
As a ‘real fan’, Instant Gratification, you must know my heroines have all types of body types. They include Dita, the tiny superfit heroine of Dark Thoughts, Joan, the stocky yet muscular BBW heroine of Releasing Rage, Mira, the lush, curvy BBW heroine of Breathing Vapor, Kasia, the tall, willowy heroine of Seeking Vector and many, many others.
As a ‘real fan’, you must also know BBW in my books doesn’t merely mean curvy. That term refers to tall females, to stocky females, to other shapes.
So I suspect your distress isn’t over me writing ONLY BBW heroines. I suspect your distress is over me writing ANY BBW heroines.
I can’t help you with that issue. I’m a classic BBW (as a ‘real fan’, you know that also). I have found lasting love with my Dear Wonderful Hubby. Many of my BBW reading buddies have found lasting love also. We deserve to have stories written about us.
But those stories will be clearly labeled (as I am proud of those heroines). You can avoid them if you wish.
