Wedding Season...arrives July

​Once upon a time, I wrote up a vision of my wedding day. It’s still there in my dreamcatcher journal and still sounds like exactly the kind of wedding I’d like to have one day. (There were two pointers to the guy that I remember squinting at as I wrote…let’s see what happens.) 
 
What does this have to do with ROSA’s fabulous new anthology, Wedding Season , releasing July 18? Plenty. I’m not a big believer of marriage. I’ve seen far too many implode, and even more than that hang on in some sort of grim desperation for kids/money/one to die (yes, someone said that). I’ve seen far too many weddings as well where it was apparent from before they even said ‘I do’ that they really should have broken up after one month of solid shagging. But, they didn’t and all the flowers, fine food and photos couldn’t make up for the nothing of a relationship that was ‘joined together’.
Yet, there are the exceptions to this – I wrote Priest for them. ​ These are couples who are happy together many decades later, whether they were high school sweethearts, second time arounders or blind dates set up by work colleagues. They were the enemies to lovers, the friends to lovers, the opposites attracting, and the how-the-hell-did-that-happen’ers. They’re a team, a port in the storm, a safe haven. As my wise friend, Mandy, said, “Some folks get married and start to chip chip away at each other, when in actual fact, they should be building each other up.” That’s what I’d like to think about Max and Billy…if they can even make it to the altar.

What if you could have the perfect man?

I wrote this book because I was getting tired of dating. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to have a robot who could do all the heavy lifting? Well, yes, possibly, but then where’s the humanity in that?  But, this also got me to thinking, if there was a companion robot (and it looks like we’re really close to this being a reality, so it’s not sci-fi anymore), what would that robot be like? Good looking and ripped, sure, but what about the other traits?

Around this time, there were heaps and heaps of articles on classic Alpha-hole traits and how these can rapidly turn toxic. So, the protective man coupled with insecurity quickly becomes the obsessive jealous man. What was once seen as ‘adorable’ is now terrifying. And sometimes it’s really difficult to tell if your man has that ‘flipswitch’. 

Marry these two ideas together, and add in an adventuring hero who has all the commitment phone traits you’ve come to love and expect from a romance hero, and The Romeo Prototype was born.

Nothing breaks like a heart

The dreams stopped when I slept next to him. Nothing - only silent blank spaces. No words. No monsters. Funny really, now that I think of it. My monsters were chained, tamed, even. But it was his that billowed smoke and ripped us apart in the dark. Stealthy. Deadly. 

I’m supposed to be writing something light, fun and bubbly for a summer anthology, and that’s what I started out with instead. It’s difficult to find the warmth in pain. 

​Yeah, I think Miley gets it. On repeat repeat repeat
