There's good news on the book front for me recently. I've just
been notified that Irresistible Impulse
has a release date! It's coming out on
September 14 from The Wild Rose Press and am I excited! This
short story is special to me because it features Tania and Latisha, the lesbian
couple who appeared in supporting roles in my first two books, One Good Man and Take This Man. I came to love these two characters and it was a lot
of fun to provide them with their own story.
In One Good Man, Latisha and Tania are already an established couple. Irresistible Impulse is something of a
prequel to that story and tells how the women first met. It's love at second
sight!
Ordinarily, Tania Talcott wouldn't be caught dead at a speed dating
event, but she lost a stupid bet. Checking out the slim pickings, she's
convinced the evening will be a total bust--until a classy, sensual, African
American woman enters the room. A woman Tania met briefly once before and never
forgot. Latisha Hobbs is only attending this event to support her young cousin, who's ready to start dating again. Latisha's heart has been on ice for quite some time. But she finds herself immediately--and strongly--enticed by the friendly overtures of a vivacious redhead. Or are they more than friendly?
Fueled by an irresistible impulse, Tania wastes no time getting to know the beautiful woman. Latisha is drawn to Tania as well, but memories of an unhappy love affair make her reluctant to act. These two opposites definitely attract, but will their differences be too much to overcome?
People often wonder where writers
get their ideas. Well, I can't take credit for this story's idea. I'm sorry I
can't remember exactly who proposed it, but the suggestion came from one of the
members of the Short Story Seductions group (now on hiatus). The thought was to create a romance based on
the theme of speed dating. Most of the
authors were going for m/f, but one thought she'd try an m/m story and that
gave me the idea of trying an f/f. And who better to write about than my two
lovelies, Tania and Latisha?
It was great fun imagining them
getting together, and a bit of a challenge, since neither woman struck me as
being interested in speed dating. So they each needed a reason for being there.
It's a case of serendipity, because it turns out that this is not the first
time they've encountered each other.
