Hello Piper! Thank
you so much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
Oh gawd, that is a very tough question. The best way to
explain it is using actual characters from the story and to say that I gave
them all issues. I know, cruel author lady, but I did give them solutions, they
just had to hunt for them.
Take Mickey, the main character in Invicta Sanctuary. He
enters the story with several issues, but one cause for them all. He needs to
restore his self-confidence. He had bookoos of it at one time, so he’s familiar
with it and can recognize it in someone else, but not within himself. He lost
it, and doesn’t know how to get it back. He realizes this fact, but instead of
trying to fix it, he chooses to throw up walls to protect himself, or so he
thinks. Mickey has several mental projections of himself that range from the
“should have been me” image, to the “was me” version, all the way to the “I’m
expected to be” scenario, where even his own expectations are impossible to
meet. (that one alone tosses him into fear and failure mode by default)
Now bring Kaiden into the story, he can look at Mickey and
recognize the fear side of it. Kade knows how to beat fear because he’s done
it. (or thinks he has) But let Toryn come in the story, and he zooms in on
Mickey’s trust issues. Enter Holton, who has the need to rescue and save
everyone, join in. All he sees is a desire, a strong need
to fit in and be accepted. Holt has daddy issues from his own past. Three
separate solutions to three different issues. One cause.
They dynamics part of the characters is that they all hold
bits and pieces of the solution, and the only way to completely resolve it is
to have all the puzzle pieces. That is what makes them dependent on one
another. Invicta means unbeatable, undefeatable and when they can help each
other like this, that’s what they become…unbreakable. That is what Invicta is
all about. Did that make any sense what so ever? hahaha
Q) Do you have any habits that get you in the writing frame
of mind?
I guess only a couple. I need music, and it has to be
blasting. That automatically tosses me in the zone for the most part. Not sure
if that is a routine, a preference or a habit, it’s just something that has to
take place before I can type one word. Next would be a pot of coffee, pretty
sure that’s just a bad habit, even though it’s still a necessity. I think the last
one, is more an OCD issue, but I have to have a clean desk to start. Once I get
in the zone, I don’t want anything distracting me, so I clean off the desk to
make sure of that.
Q) What are your upcoming projects?

Blurb:
What is
your sanctuary? For Mickey, he never needed one, he was his own. Until now. In
a situation spinning out of control, Mickey is forced to make a move and he's
not sure how to handle it. He's an intelligent, self-reliant man who never
depended on anyone for anything, but now he is alone for the first time in his
life, scared. By accident, he ends up at Invicta, the hottest new male go-go
dance club in town. Owners, Kade and Holt, know the behavior all too well, but
Mickey's trust factor is leveling out on zero, until he spots Toryn. Sometimes
sanctuary can be found in the strangest of places.

Excerpts-
1. That
young, dark haired, and tatted up hottie grabs me right off the bat. He can’t
be more than twenty-four tops. Just right. He’s been poured into those
leathers, his ass packed in nice and tight. Firm. They might as well have
wrapped the man in saran wrap, not that I’d complain either way. He’s finally
announced, but it’s probably a stage name he uses. Who even cares? As long as
he keeps shaking himself around, I’m all good. The man rocks to the beat of the
music. He pops that majestic ass in perfect tune with the thumps blasting from
the speakers. Done like a true power bottom and personally, I’m enjoying the
hell out of it. His hips begin to roll in a perfect circle, as he pivots on one
foot to his side. He coils himself all the way around twice before facing the
front. I’m loving his body movements. Someone stick a fork in me, because I’m
sizzling… I think I may have just fallen in love with the man on the stage and
those ‘fuck me hard’ hip moves.
2. Somehow, with just one
kiss, he plowed right through the thoughts that had me worried sick all
evening, and redirected them to one focal point. Him! Slowly, I reach for Toryn's waist with one
hand to see if he'll let me closer or slap me down. God, I feel like I'm in high school on my first damn date again-CHILL
Mickey, just calm down. He looks down at my hand, then back to me. Without
breaking our eye contact, I feel his hand wrap around mine and tighten. Oh thank fuck! I yank him into me, lowering my head so our
mouths meet. Our kisses, so sloppy, and hungry for each other. I press against
him, unable to get enough. Running my hand along his waist to his back, I
tightening my grip, and spin him around, slamming him against the wall. He lets
out a moan. Before I can stop myself, I bury myself inside his mouth,
swallowing every bit of that delicious moan. Fuckenhell.
3. I yank him into me, lowering my head so our mouths meet. Our
tongues are so much more aggressive, now that all the unspoken terms and
agreements have been cleared. Well, at least they have on my behalf. We dart
and chase around each other, so sloppy and hungry for each other. No matter how
hard I press against him, I can't get enough of him or fast enough for that
matter. Oh my God, the man's mouth feels incredible.
