Music as scene motivation
A. E. Wasp - Contemporary and Fantasy Romance
As I have mentioned before, I listen to songs obsessively when I’m writing, sometimes listening to one song on repeat for an hour while I write a scene. I make up the playlists by going through my extensive music library and listening to snippets to see if they fit the emotions I think I’ll need...

Heaving Chests
A. E. Wasp - Contemporary and Fantasy Romance
Hi all, It’s another sunny Colorado day and I’m starting at it out my window. Life is glamorous. I actually caught myself writing the phrase ‘his chest heaved’ yesterday, and made myself laugh. I kept it in. It’s a classic and it does happen. There was no bodice ripping, but mostly because everyone was naked...

Veterans Affairs update: Paper Hearts, dogs, and babies
A. E. Wasp - Contemporary and Fantasy Romance
Hi all, It is a freezing cold January morning here in Fort Collins. And since Red Deer is a lightly fictionalized version of the FoCo and I’m nearing the home stretch of Paper Hearts, the next book in the Veterans Affairs series, naturally I was thinking of my boys. I spend a lot of time...

Writing Roma & the creation of Nikolai and Alexei
A. E. Wasp - Contemporary and Fantasy Romance
This is kind of a writerly post, a peak behind the curtain about how I came to write Nikolai, Alexei, and Maria and their family in Soulbonded. (I also did a ton of research on Norse mythology, current Norse religions, Minnesota, Indian massacres, and Kali and the Wild Hunt. But those are other...
