#amwriting – a look inside the author process
Welcome to my new weekly series where I give you a glimpse of my thought process on various topics related to the writing of my novels.
Rule breaker, magic wielder, hot mess: meet our best chance at survival.
I very deliberately chose to start my MC, Nava, at a point that some would (and do) call “unlikeable.” For some, it’s because of her sex positivity, for others, it’s because she has a lot of maturing to do. Which she does.
There are a lot of wonderful series out there where the main character doesn’t change. Nave does. Immensely. Which meant I had to very carefully choose where I started her in order to allow this journey.
I’m very proud of the results and of Nava’s end point of growth.

Ash’s further adventures!
Death & Desire is live! Things are heating up for Ash. There are new tests, new mysteries, and of course, His Lordship, ready to make her head explode.
Angel of Death.
Black market magic.
When you’re Ashira Cohen, smart is the new kickass.
When Ash is hired to solve her first murder, it seems like a perfectly normal, open-and-shut case of family feuds and bad blood. Until Ash discovers an evil magical artifact and her lead suspect is of the winged, white-robed, celestial variety. As if that weren’t bad enough, if she can’t find the perpetrator quickly, fourteen vials of lethal, ghostly magic will be sold to the highest bidder.
Her quest to figure out her Jezebel powers and find the shadowy organization responsible for stripping teens of their magic isn’t going any smoother, either. Can’t a girl just pursue her dream career without getting caught up in a mysterious destiny? Or, for that matter, playing a dangerous Sherlock-Moriarty game with the infuriatingly hot alpha male in charge of Vancouver’s magical community?
But when Ash accidentally crosses the cunning and deadly Queen of Hearts, ruler of the magic black market, all those cases may go unresolved.
Permanently.
With the clock ticking, it’ll take all of Ash’s intelligence to survive with her moral center–and her head–intact.
The game is afoot and failure is not an option.

My hot new release that’s getting critical acclaim!
I’m so happy that the release day of Blood & Ash is finally here and I get to share this with all of you.
Cold-blooded kidnappers. Long-lost magic. When things get serious, she goes full Sherlock.
Ashira Cohen takes pride in being the only female private investigator in Vancouver. With her skills, her missing persons case should be a piece of cake.
She wasn’t counting on getting bashed in the skull, revealing a hidden tattoo and supernatural powers she shouldn’t possess.
Or the bitter icing on top: a spree of abductions and terrifying ghostly creatures on a deadly bender.
And don’t even get her started on the golems.
Reluctantly partnered with her long-time nemesis Levi, the infuriating leader of the magic community, Ash resolves to keep her focus on the clue trail and off their sexual tension because WTF is up with that?
But with a mastermind organization pulling strings from the shadows and Levi’s arrogance driving her to pick out his body bag, can Ash rescue the captives and uncover the truth or will the next blood spilled be her own?
Blood & Ash is the epic first novel in The Jezebel Files. If you like headstrong heroines, complex mysteries, and a dash of red-hot romance, you’ll love Deborah Wilde’s laugh out loud tale.
Smart is the new kickass in this hot new release which Publishers Weekly described as, “This giddy, sexy series launch is a delight.”

A Wilde 2019 Holiday Round-Up!
Happy Holidays! Hanukkah is going very well, thanks. My latkes turned out great and I managed to snag some jelly donuts, thus satisfying my sweet and savoury food needs.
Any holiday plans that you’re especially looking forward to?
Thank you for all the love you’ve shown me this year! I spend a lot of time by myself (okay with the voices in my head), while I’m writing and marketing, and it means a lot when my readers reach out.

Happy book birthday Leonie Hendricks!
Happy book birthday, Leonie Hendricks!
Wow! Bet you weren’t sure you’d get a Leo story, were you?
I am so proud of this book and very glad that I got to do a deep dive into what makes our Leo tick.
It ended up being a lot more gut-wrenching than I’d anticipated, but hey, I live to torture you.
