Reflection: What I write. #writerslife #amwriting
As much as I love to write fast paced, engaging and gripping stories. With strong characters and even some very dark unsavoury ones. When it comes down to it, I’ll always be a romance writer at heart. My stories will always comeback to this no matter how gritty , controversial or full of drama they may get.
Yes I’ve knocked out some gritty characters in crime, and physiological themed stories as part of the weekly challenges for Kim and Didi’s Suspenseful Collection. And I’ve started to write a novel with this theme too! But this week as writers we have both put out such a different feel. So different the story moved me to actual tears I just read it back to myself. I can’t recall I time I’ve actually been moved to tears, by something I partly wrote 🙂
Maybe it was the music, I dunno? Unintentionally at the moment I have Magic FM on the radio. If you’re not from the UK, you might not know that this station plays some of the most relaxing feel good songs. I love to write with it in the background to focus. Around this time in the evening 9:00 p.m it gets a little soppy! It’s called ” Mellow Magic.” This song came on, I actually shed a tear (or a few) while reading the story. Good ol’ Whitney! It fits the story so well.
As I said earlier on today it’s a real close call between week four, and week one as my favourite story so far. I loved creating both pieces of fiction. As a romance author, I sincerely hope you enjoy what Didi and I came up with. And I thank her openly for the decision (not mine) to do a romance theme week. Because love really does concur all.
Now There’s An Idea? Should We Do It? #kdsuspense #amwriting

It seems Lisa Vanicilli is a very popular woman indeed. Don’t be afraid to like her! We love her. We’ve had great feedback, and I’ve heard more than once ” you and Didi should write part #2 of this story.” Should we do it?? Should we see what happens now that someone finally managed to crack the tough, strong first female serial killer from New York for a confession, after ten whole years. All Tiffany had to do was walk in with her killer high heels and short skirt, Lisa was like putty LOL. Of course we will keep it engaging and raw.
What happens to Lisa, does she confess all about her murderous career on the mean streets of New York? Is she executed early?
Does Tiffany’s career fly now she has a confession?
Oh the suspense!

The Big Reveal: WHO IS AUTHOR A & WHO IS AUTHOR B FOR WK 1-3’S STORIES?? …. #kdsuspense #amwriting
Evening guys,
Both Didi and I have had some positive feedback from readers, about our stories. We are also both LOVING working together on them each week, it’s a shock to us to see where our story will end up, if you’re author A, as well as a shock to see what will land in your inbox to finish writing if you’re author B. Personally, I like both roles A and B I have no preference. What’s the hardest thing about working with Didi? …. Stopping writing! No matter if I’m A or B . We have both knocked out 90,000 odd word novels ,and it’s hard to put a lid on it once we’re in the groove! We Skyped about this, then guess what we went over the word limit each again lols.. ah well. Sooooooooooooo I guess by now some of you want to know who is author A and who is author B, for the first three stories we have done. Okay your wish is our command, did you guess right…. take a look.
Week 1: It Was The First Time I Killed A Man. click here to read a steamy 18+ historical bit of crime fiction about a woman on death row.
Author A: 
Author B: 
Yep I whipped up that crazy ass woman Lisa Vanicilli and handed her to my partner in crime to see what she’d do. Didi did not fail me! She aced the ending so well. And you know what I loved writing Lisa. She’s nuts! This is my favourite story so far. That said, this week’s one for Tuesday maybe a close call. I heard through the grape vine a few of of you thought it may have been Didi as author A. Humm maybe, as the main character is a blonde female from the USA…. “They say we write what we know “ well I’m from London, my accent is nothing like the New York, Brooklyn accent that I love so much that we both tried to portray while writing. And I could not be more far removed from the main female myself as a woman, but we did tell you we’re skilled at adapting our writing styles. We’ll write anyone, any age, race, gender, sexuality we’ll try to step into anyone’s shoes.
My First Reaction When I Read Didi’s Ending For This Story:
“Holy sh*it Didi is even more nuts than me in her character development, Lisa is crazy lols. Then I read real close again about two or three times and was like , hey you can’t even tell there was a change of writer. This is freaky it’s like one of us knocked out that story on our own.
Week Two: Every Time I Hear That Voice From The Basement: Click here to read. A psychological suspenseful story.
Author A: 
Author B: 
My First Reaction When This Story Landed In My Inbox:
When Didi sent me over the story, in her email she was like: ” I gatta real dochebag for ya Kim. Can’t wait to see what you do with him.” I read the email and laughed, but never expected what I read. I loved it.
When I finished reading I was like..What a freak he is! Didi can step into the shoes of anyone, she likes to write ’em crazy all right. I had so much fun with this story as I zoned in the the “disturbed” personality our main man has. The bleach part with his wife Jolene was a creative fluke. It just came to me while I was writing, focusing on his OCD ways. In fact this story was a real “fly by the seat of my pants story”. And as many of you know, I’m not “a panster” as a writer I like to plot my outline, then fill in with creativity as I write, I always have a direction. With this one I just sat behind the laptop and tried to craft a character that was true to what Didi whipped up, I had no direction. I think, this story was the most fun to write for me as I stepped into the shoes of a very ill man. I dropped in the part about London and his obsession for Dana, rather than turn him into a serial killer or let there be a murder, just to be a little different, and more creepy/ scary. I see this guy as a more passive dangerous character ,rather than an outright murderous character like Lisa Vanacili. George is sly, very sly not so bold. He’s a plotter very calculating he won’t lash out like Lisa. Maybe Didi feels otherwise when she crafted him, we’ll see in her reveal post.
Week Three: The Entrance To The Tunnel Is His Only Way Out. Click Here to Read It. A short sharp bit of crime fiction.
Author A: 
Author B: 
My First Reaction When I read Didi’s Ending For This Story:
Wow! I never saw that coming at all. Now that’s a surprise twist. I was very shocked at how Didi set me up to think that Juan would make it out okay, he just needed a little sleep. I think personally, she kept his character very true to what I created, Juan did not change. I also would NEVER have thought to go in that direction creatively at all, never ever. I don’t know what was going through her head when she wrote the ending, but what ever it was did me proud.
So there you go. You know who author A and author B is for weeks one- three. Stay tuned for week four’s story which will be posted on Tuesday!

The Shushing
January 10, 2015, McPherson Home
Nyla knows her daughter will visit today. She saw this moment long before Tara’s troubles started. For thirty-eight years, and before Tara was born, Nyla has been waiting for this day. With the onset of the girl’s troubles, she realizes Tara will have no choice but to embrace her gift of precognition. The aroma of blueberry cobbler fills the home, Tara’s favorite treat. Nyla hopes the bittersweet dessert will soothe her fear. If not, a chilled bottle of red wine is ready on the dining room table.
Nyla recalls the intensity of her dreams and visions while carrying Tara during her pregnancy. The images were so vivid and precise, she feared for her unborn daughter.
