A submissive like no other
What would it take to be crowned the queen of submissives? Unmeasured tells the story of how Oleg came to adore Samantha and the power she holds as the most irresistible submissive he's ever met. His Dominant friends are not immune either. I loved getting inside the head of my wild-child Senator's daughter. There was always something people loved about Samantha when she made appearances in Make Me and Swept.
When Oleg showed up to ruin Jack's life in Swept, I wrote a character that you wanted to hate, but just couldn't. Oleg stuck with me, and by the time I was finished writing Swept, I knew I would have to tell his story too.

That New York Accent
Both Polished and Swept are
set within the contrast of Upstate New York and Manhattan. As a
native New Yorker, I was particularly committed to presenting an authentic New
York accent in the performance of Spencer who was raised in Queens. What
many don't realize is that there are at least seven different accents within
the tri-state area. Within New York there is a distinct accent for each borough of
Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan as well as Long
Island. George Orlando, who voiced
both Spencer and Jack in Polished wasn’t available for Swept (touring with his
band took him away from voice acting). In
Swept, Jack Hawkins did an amazing job delivering Spencer’s roughened NYC
perspective while still accessing the sensitivity this character reveals to the
two people he trusts. Character Jack
Rothman was raised wealthy on the upper east side of Manhattan and his accent
is much more neutral. Adam Riley, who
voices Jack in all his dominant glory, is actually Canadian. I think you’ll be impressed with his delivery
of Jack in both Dom mode and as he faces the challenges of his
vulnerability. Rory hails from up-state
where the accents are also more neutral.
Erin Bateman is back to give Rory a great rendition of her girl next door
vibe.
Speaking of accents, Russian
mobster, Oleg Balashov’s chilled confidence is delivered with a buttery smooth approach
in exactly the manner that I conjured when writing Swept. The actor Jack Walters who voiced Oleg has an
Eastern European lineage which influenced his performance. Lastly the spunky and vivacious Samantha, who
first appeared in Make Me, makes another appearance in Swept and is voiced by
Vivianna Marlowe. You’ll hear more from Vivianna in the upcoming release of
Four Real in audio.

Swept in Audio
I digress. I wasn't easy on my characters in this book, there are highs that are only more sweet because of the journey they take through the tough stuff. It took a real level of commitment from these performers to pull off the emotion I aimed to bring to this story. I can't say how pleased I am! If you'd like a little taste, whether you've read Swept or not, I think you'll see what I mean.
BUY SWEPT on Audible
BUT First...Get a huge preview of Polished if you haven't already.
These books can both be read alone, but the experience is much more intimate in order.
Mamma Romance
What a romance author can teach her son.
The other day I was hit on in the most awkward way. The worst part wasn’t that the man in
question was a federal employee, with the power to make a simple task nearly
impossible. It wasn’t that it happened with about twenty other people listening. The fact that I’m happily married and let him
know it was not the biggest issue. Yes, all that is cringe worthy enough! The worst part of it was the terrible example
the whole thing set for my son.
If a romance author can clear anything up, it’s the right
way and the wrong way to leave an impression on a woman. One day soon, I see a
sit down in our future. I may not be
able to help him with math anymore, but how to speak to the female heart…this I
know.
I think I’ll let him shrug off the willies first. (Never a dull moment.)
