Riley Parks Sorry, I just saw this! It's available now!
Riley Parks Thank you so much! I’m so happy you loved Bleeding Like Me. My next book is the first in a series. It’s an age gap with MCs who have a very unconventional first encounter. It’s sexy and truly a coming of age story for both of them. I can’t wait to share it with you!
Riley Parks Thank you so much! I have seen Shameless and love Mickey and Ian. What a compliment! I’m glad it was meaningful to you. Jackson definitely has that Mickey vibe but I’m not sure about Evan and Ian lol. I would share my face claims for them but I don’t want to ruin the visual you have.!
Riley Parks Thank you so much!
This is really wonderful to read and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. There won't be a sequel, but I've been tossing around a few novella ideas. I definitely would not rule out a check-in with Evan and Jackson. I love them. I can't imagine never revisiting their story.

On a somewhat related note, my next novel is tentatively scheduled for release on March 27, 2018. The MCs are dueling lawyers (Nicholas and Owen). I think they're really special and I hope you'll fall in love with them, too.
Riley Parks Music helps to inspire me. Sometimes I listen to the same song on repeat while I write a chapter. It helps me keep the feel of the section consistent.

Riley Parks I get to write. Who doesn't want to do what they love? Also, there's nothing like finishing a novel and having it all come together.
Riley Parks An old article I came across in Chicago Magazine.
Riley Parks I write through it. Some people suggest taking a break, but that has never worked for me. Honestly, wine helps. When I'm really blocked I have a few glasses, write something and look back at it to decide if it it sucks or not. Many times it doesn't, but my punctuation sure does.
