I've been told off yet again about the more taboo parts of my first story by a reader who (or so it appears) hasn't seen very long disclaimer regarding the dark content, but also other reviews stating how taboo/controversial the subject matter is in Embracing the Darkness, and the Black Rose series as a whole. Please understand that while feedback is important, there's no need to be cruel or vicious with your reviews guys. We are all just people too and sometimes you read things that are not for you, but is there really any need to then rip said book to shreds?
I warn you now, if you carry on there are not only spoilers for the first Black Rose novel, but in fact the entire series. I am going to give away part of book five, so click away now if you do not want to know or would prefer to actually experience the many twists and turns I love to throw at faithful readers by reading them for yourself.
You have been warned ;-)
Carry on at your peril.....
Ok, so you are all sure you want this? Let's do it!
Yes, my first novel contains not one, not two, but actually three apparently incestuous relationships. I do not agree with them, but my story demanded it, and there is no trying to change things now. No, I do not have daddy issues, nor do I find it hot to get forced into a relationship with your father - hence the fact that (I'll say again - SPOILER) Cate and Lucifer do not stay together. They are not and never were intended to be a long-standing couple, only the start of the story from an explosive storyline. Their relationship brings about the presence of not only their children (yeah ok, I know it seems weird but bear with me) but also the other stories in the series. The first book lays the foundation for all the others, and the demise of the Cate/Lucifer relationship is also the fundamental push Cate finally needs to take charge of her life and eventually the throne.
A revelation from Lucifer in book five then reveals that Cate and Devin are not actually his children, but his sires. He isn't their father at all, more of a demonic blood donor who gave them their powers directly from the source while in the womb, hence their heightened strengths and powers etc. In the end you discover that Lucifer's only real children are Blake and Luna.
So....no incest...ok?
Boom! Did I just blow your mind there? Are we clearer yet? It's a dark and powerful story, and has very taboo themes. Please do not question my sanity or judge me by this one plot point instead of simply taking a breath and carrying on with the story. Can we all please move on and agree that while I did an apparently amazing job of convincing people the devil seduced his daughter, it isn't actually the case in the long-run? There are much darker elements to the stories than the incest, and yet it's the one subject that really seems to stick with many of the readers.
I adore this little series of mine, and while I know controversy is a great way to get noticed, I would like to set the record straight once and for all. It's a tale I wove one day and decided to tell the world. It is to be enjoyed and treated as a world in which we can escape to for some fun, frolics and yes, fucking. Sorry, I couldn't resist!
I love you readers, and want you to stay with me instead of putting the book away in the DNF pile. Please, read it to the end and see for yourself how it turns out.
Love and virtual hugs to each and every one of you. Am I forgiven yet? ;-) xxx
I've always wanted to write, and now I've had amazing chances to do just that. It took me until 2013 to finally find my voice, and that was because one particular story just wouldn't go away. The Black Rose series is my first baby, and now they've evolved and grown more than I ever could have imagined. I'm a hopeless romantic with a dark side. Be warned, I may give my characters their HEA, but I make them work hard for it!

“How
is he?” Kyra had to ask, and Thrayke frowned. He was used to this question by
now, thanks to her having asked almost everyday, but she knew Thrayke still hated her need to enquire after
his leader’s wellbeing. Her memories of Kronus and the way he’d once been so
affectionate and caring were still with her day and night though and she missed
him, as both a friend and as the Thrak who she had idolized since he’d saved
her life as a child. Kyra simply couldn’t forget her affection for Kronus, no
matter how much it pained her to think of him.
“He’s
quiet, reclusive, grumpy, and he’s let his beard grow again. He still rubs it
when he’s anxious, which seems to be a lot of the time—despite the success of
his mission to Earth.” Thrayke left his food as well and watched Kyra with a
sad look on his weary face. “He asked about you and your final days again. I
think he misses you. I know he’d never say it, but I
believe there’s a tremendous amount of regret hounding him for the way your
life went in the end. And how he treated you.”
“How
can you tell if he won’t say it though?” she asked, ignoring the iciness
rolling off him.
“Because he looks like I know I would if I’d lost you that day. Like he’s left a part of himself behind, and whether he admits it or not, I know it’s the part of himself he gave to you.” Kyra’s heart pounded harder in her chest.

What's the opposite of writers' block?
Because, I think I have it! Honestly, this is no joke... Ok, maybe it is a little funny, but seriously, is this a real thing? It's hard to explain, but I feel like my mind is going 100mph and I haven't got the time to sit and write so I can keep up!
If I stop to think what I want achieve, I realise I need to have some kind of super computer setup with five screens all working effortlessly together while my hands whizz across the keys at record speed! I want to dip in and out of my various works in progress because my mind seems to be conjuring scenes for simultaneous manuscripts without a care for my sanity! I fall asleep thinking about them and then wake with my mind racing the following morning.
Perhaps I'm going mad? Or, is it that maybe I'm becoming a truly serious writer at last? Nope, I think I'm going crazy, hahahaha!!!!
