Hello! Thank you so
much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!
Q)
How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
The concept for the main character, Ryan Wills, actually was
inspired by a philosophy class I took.
John Locke’s, the civil savage.
From there a friend and I were going to enter a writing contest asking
what the 11th commandment is. THOU SHALT
NOT HAVE SEX WITH ANDROIDS is what I came up with. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Star Wars and
science fiction in general. From these
humble beginnings I wrote A Test of Wills.
Q)
Is this part of a series? If so, tell us
about it!
A Test of Wills is the first in a series. The next book will be more about some of the
inner workings of the Meridian Project brought up in the first book. Without giving too much away Ryan’s past
comes back to haunt her, again.
Q)
How much
real life do you put into or influences your books?
Real life absolutely influences my writing. For example, Ryan from A Test of Wills is
basically me without a filter. A few of
the snarky things she has said have come out of my mouth. Some of the more cutting remarks were not
said by me but I did think them.
Q)
What are your upcoming projects?
I am currently working on an erotic romance trilogy. I hope to finish the first book by the first
of August. If all goes well.
I am also working on the second book in the Wills series and
I am tinkering with a novella.
Blurb
When a witty computer genius purchases a sexy android, she
gets the surprise of her life.
Thou shalt not have sex with androids. Yeah,
right. Taylor, my sexy android, makes my body tingle and fills my head with
illegal thoughts. To hell with the law; I might just have my wicked way with
him.
But before I can pursue that train of thought, I'm
distracted by the fact that something called Meridian Project just hacked my
computer. What the hell?
Encountering a parade of hopeful but clueless ex-boyfriends
and a shadowy corporation that is up to no good tests my patience and my
self-restraint. I'm determined to get the answers I'm looking for…if I don't
kill someone first.
To discover the company's secrets, I will have to reveal my
own if I ever want to learn the truth.

Excerpt
"Why are you so quiet, Taylor?" I ask.
"I was thinking. Mike is interesting."
"Yes, he is."
"Do you love him?"
I pull onto the highway before answering. How do you explain
love to an android? I would kill for Mike because I care for him, but he's my
friend and that love is different than other types of love. I decide to keep it
simple. "Yes, I do, but not romantically. We're just very good
friends."
Taylor nods and turns to look out the window.
"I do have to apologize for him."
"Why?"
"Because he asked you if you were anatomically correct
and fully functional. That's private." I would still love to know the
answer, but that would set me up for some sleepless nights.
"That's okay…and I am."
I whip around to stare at Taylor, and he's looking out the
window. "You're what?"
He looks at me with those liquid brown eyes. "I am
anatomically correct and fully functional."
Time stops for me when I hear those words. I completely
forget that I'm driving and lean closer to him. A car horn blares, and I jerk my
attention back to the road. Why the hell did I have to bring that up again? I'm
already having problems trying to get Taylor off my mind. Now I have to deal
with a fully functioning Taylor. Once again, this is a mistake. It is
against the law to have sex with an android.
