I’m the author of the novels “The Invisible Histories of the Spiral Mountain” (2014), “The Erotic Tales of Bucephalus” (2017), and “Dominique’s Confession: A Roaring Twenties Dark Romance” (2020). In my tales of magic and mysticism, I examine philosophical dualities, transitions of the psyche, alternate realities, and spiritual revelations. As a constant traveler, I consider myself an international resident with no permanent home. Although, my birthplace of Detroit remains in my heart, and I consider Thailand my spiritual residence.

Interview with Author – J. J. Sorel
I write steamy romance. Often heavy on mystery and rather dark. My first book Thornhill Trilogy introduces the self-made, sexy billionaire sexy Aidan Thornhill. When he becomes obsessed with his inexperienced and innocent PA her life changes forever—from one of poverty to a fairy tale existence. Take My Heart is set in New York, where revenge hungry bad-boy Bronson Lockhart finds himself suddenly obsessed with the girlfriend of the guy who set him up. As a departure from my dark romances, my recent rom-com Beautiful but Strange revolves around two very unlikely lovers who meet when she ties herself to a tree that he, a cheeky, handsome developer plans to have removed. And currently, I’m back to dark romance with Dark Descent into Desire. Due out early April 2020. With strong gothic romance themes, this story revolves around a mysterious billionaire and his obsession with an artist, who manages to go somewhere no one else has ever been: to the heart and soul of this damaged man.
Interview with Author – Linda S Rice
As a child, I was mesmerized by storytellers and my mother always made sure I had a supply of books close at hand while I was growing up. Sitting on her lap and listening to her read to me is one of my earliest memories. I remember drawing pictures and then making up stories to go with them, and as I got older, my stories became longer and more fanciful. At age ten, I began to write them down, and when I was twelve, I wrote my first “book,” all handwritten. I wrote during rainy days in gym class when we all had to stay in the locker room and sit on benches. I had a small cult following of friends who waited for me to finish each page which I would then pass down the row. When I got a typewriter for my thirteenth birthday, I typed up my “masterpiece” and put it in a 3-ring binder then hid it away. The story was actually quite silly. Having a typewriter, however, made it possible for me to write even more, which I did on almost a daily basis.
But, as happens to many young, aspiring writers, reality grabbed me and when I graduated from high school and headed to college then into the workforce, the dream of becoming an author washed away. It wasn’t until I turned 62 and experienced my 3rd job layoff that I decided to try and make my writing dream come true.
Writing has since become an addiction to me, and I’m finding that ideas for numerous scenarios and characters keep flooding my brain, with the characters screaming, “Write about me! Write about me!”
And, that’s what I intend to do.
