Welcome, Katze. Your new novel,\u00a0Broken in Silence<\/strong><\/em>, is hot!<\/p>\n

Broken in Silence cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All authors have their own reasons for writing a book. What are yours?<\/b><\/p>\n

To keep myself afloat in this sometimes suffocating world. For real, that\u2019s why I write: to stay sane. It\u2019s through writing where I am reminded that there\u2019s so much beauty in our world, so many possibilities and random acts of kindness. Writing is more than just my passion. It\u2019s my world.<\/p>\n

What would you like readers to take away from your story? Does it contain a message?<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the main underlying themes throughout my Demons and Wolves series is whether or not monsters are born or created. I am huge on symbolism in my writing and leaving messages for readers who read between the lines. As a reader myself, I love when an author does that and you can piece everything together like a puzzle.<\/p>\n

Tanner\u2019s internal struggle with his old self, and the self he was forced to become, is a prime example of \u201cit\u2019s not you, it\u2019s what happened to you\u201d. We all have our demons, some more than others, and I believe that nurture categorically wins over nature. I guess I wanted to reflect this belief through Tanner. Each title of D&W is a message conveying Tanner\u2019s battle with his inner (and physical) demons. The question I\u2019d love for readers to ask themselves is whether or not we [society] create monsters, or are they born? I think one\u2019s response can be extremely eye-opening. It wasn\u2019t until I did an essay on this at college when I looked beyond the nurture vs. nature theory and began to see from various points of view. Personally, I find debates like this invigorating, especially when a book has the ability to really make you think and question things.<\/p>\n

Where did you find your inspiration for the story? Was it a person, a current event, something you witnessed, or something else?<\/b><\/p>\n

Actually, my inspiration came from my debut novel, Alpha\u2019s Bane, in which Tannerian Wulfric was the antagonist. Throughout that book, Tanner was consistently painted as the bad guy. In Broken in Silence, I wanted to change that. Most of my readers had already grown to loathe Tanner. But by showing them that looks can be deceiving, and it\u2019s \u201cwithin these depths\u201d of our beings that truly matter, I was able to portray Tanner as an anti-hero. It came as a shock to Alpha\u2019s Bane readers, but I love to surprise them. It keeps them on their toes, too!<\/p>\n

Sure, Tanner is ruthless, gritty, and certainly unafraid of getting down and dirty. At times, his motives are questionable. But everything that Tanner does is for a reason. There\u2019s a purpose behind ever move and every countermove. He\u2019s usually always one step ahead of everyone, and I love stepping into his mind.<\/p>\n

As for Alex Jonas? Let\u2019s just say that Alex has rekindled an old flame within Tanner. A flame that had long since been extinguished, and gives him hope.<\/p>\n

Did you face any obstacles or challenges while writing the story and if so, what were they?<\/b><\/p>\n

Urgh, self-doubt. It doesn\u2019t come as a surprise that as an artist I\u2019m my own worst critic! I think I\u2019m so inadequate as a writer and too young to be in the market. But I am so determined to prove my demons wrong and grab life by the balls.<\/p>\n

What have you learned from the main characters in your story?<\/b><\/p>\n

That Alex doesn\u2019t do as he\u2019s told and Tanner is a force to be reckoned with. In Meadowsin City, nobody is what they seem.<\/p>\n

How much emphasis do you put on supporting characters to move the plot of your stories along? Have any of your supporting characters ever gotten their own story? Truthfully, this varies. In Broken in Silence, the supporting characters played a minor role\u2014a distraction of sorts\u2014but throughout the series, they truly start to come into their own. I would even say that they sometimes snag the limelight, which is why I included a surprise at the end of book 2. Readers wanted more, so I gave \u2018em more!<\/p>\n

Do you write in other genres and if so, what are they? What genres would you like to try that you haven\u2019t already?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, I do. I currently have two books published in cozy mystery and, slowly, I am working on a mainstream crime thriller. This year, I will also be stepping into MM historical fantasy romance. Yup. Me? Writing an actual<\/i> romance? *gasps* But I am extremely looking forward to this collaboration in particular. Dragons, knights, time travel, shifters, betrayal and love are totally my cup of tea. Or wine. Or vodka. It\u2019ll be a bumpy ride, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d also like to one day try science fiction. I already have 40k words written on a sci-fi WIP. It\u2019s mainstream, but I may switch it up and make it MM. It\u2019s (of course!) really dark and gritty.<\/p>\n

What or who influences your writing?<\/b><\/p>\n

I have so much influence on my writing! From the people I randomly encounter, work colleagues, family, friends (IRL and online), to my favourite authors. I would say that, out of everyone, my parents, best friend Tammy, and friend\/fellow author Zoe Perdita have encouraged me the most. I owe everything to them. My Demons and Wolves series certainly wouldn\u2019t exist if not for Zoe. I recommend readers check out her paranormal romance series, Haven City. It was this series that not only changed my life, but introduced me to MM four years ago.<\/p>\n

What is your writing process? Are you a patnser or a plotter, or a little of both?<\/b><\/p>\n

My process? Uhhh\u2026 I \u201cresearch\u201d online, and by research I generally goof around on Facebook or watch movies for \u201cinspiration\u201d. I find it incredibly difficult to get into the writing zone. My usual bursts of inspiration normally attack me around 2 AM or while I\u2019m at my desk at work. But I will say that when I am in the zone and feeling motivated by my characters, I write a LOT and it feels so amazing. Probably one of the best feelings in the world to me.<\/p>\n

As for plotting. Well, when I first started writing, I didn\u2019t really plot all that much. I was able to just write and see what happened. But when I started to publish, my worlds manifested into something so complex and huge that I had to start planning ahead. Plus, those darn plot bunnies are always sneaking up on me!<\/p>\n

Do you have any author idols and if so, how would you like to meet them?<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh! Yes. As I said, Zoe Perdita would be my number #1 author to meet. I\u2019d also really love to meet JK Rowling. She was a huge part of my childhood and her work brought my closer to so many people.<\/p>\n

Within MM, I\u2019d LOVE to meet Ashleigh McLaughlan, Grein Murray, Annabella Michaels, Aimee Walker, Raissa Phoenix, Emily Jean, Nicholas Bella, Dawn Doyle, Kaje Harper, Christine Wright, Sloan Kennedy\u2026 So. Many. More. I could seriously go on and on as I have too many to list. There are a lot of wonderful and genuinely kind authors in MM.<\/p>\n

What are your three favorite books by other authors and why? You don\u2019t have to limit this to three. (I know I can\u2019t.)<\/b><\/p>\n

Strain by Amelia Gormley. This was the second MM book I ever read and it was\u2026 Man, it was so beautifully written. Love it! It also inspired my scifi WIP.<\/p>\n

Tiger\u2019s Den by Zoe Perdita. I\u2019ve mentioned countless times in our community that this was the book that saved my life. During a deep, terrifying depression that nearly took my life, this book saved me. I still don\u2019t know what made me pick up a book when I so badly wanted to no longer exist. But I did. And I was so, so glad because it was the first time I\u2019d laughed in several weeks.<\/p>\n

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. This is my go-to book when I\u2019m feeling sad or lonely. I just love this book and have read it waaaay too many times. I love all of the movie adaptions.<\/p>\n

What do you do in your down time to feed your soul?<\/b><\/p>\n

I watch movies with my furbabies, Kiba and Juno, snuggled up at my side. I curl up to a book\/my laptop with a delicious cup of coffee and some snacks. I visit my family, catch up with friends, go for a walk and be around nature. Listen to music. Buy new clothes. I also hang out with my friend and her new baby. Babies and animals bring such joy and love to our world! I\u2019m quite boring, really. I have a small circle of friends and family in real life, but I can honestly say that they\u2019re friggin\u2019 awesome for putting up with me\u2014especially my down days where I shut the world off.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next on your literary horizon?<\/b><\/p>\n

The MM dragon romance I mentioned. I cannot WAIT to write this! The world will be complex but utterly riveting, as will the characters and plot. Extremely excited to start writing this in April.<\/p>\n

What is important in your life and why?<\/b><\/p>\n

Being surrounded by good energy and loving people. When I moved out at 16, I have spent a lot of time on my own, and while I do love that, I\u2019ve grown to miss the company of friends and family. So, this year, I have decided to really change my life around. I\u2019m focusing on being around my loved ones, ensuring my furkids are happy and healthy, and that I\u2019m living instead of just existing. Also, my writing is one of the most important things to me. If not for my writing or my online \u201cFB Katze family\u201d, I\u2019m not sure where I would be right now. So, thank you to everyone who is sharing this journey with me. Love you all!<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/b><\/p>\n

Tannerian Wulfric is a leader\u2014a strong alpha who bows to no-one, especially those who try to undermine his authority.<\/p>\n

When an opportunity arises, he grabs it with both hands and lets nothing get in his way. Trouble is, his brother has been caught in the crossfire of glorious retribution, and Tanner is in need of assistance.<\/p>\n

For many years, Alex Jonas has lived his life in peace. But when fate lands him in the hands of his ex-lover and alpha, he finds himself in the centre of a feud he never knew existed, and must immerse himself in ways he had never imagined. One chance encounter, one night, and everything comes crashing down around him. Alex must fight for his life while Tanner fights for one thing and one thing only\u2014vengeance, which has never tasted sweeter.<\/p>\n

Can Tanner avenge his family\u2019s death without spilling more blood? Or will his inner demon tear apart everything he has worked for, and lose the man who owns his heart?<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/b><\/p>\n

Tanner\u2019s hands grasped Alex\u2019s clothes, and the fire mage wriggled out of his jeans, socks and Converse. He pulled Alex\u2019s jumper and shirt over his shoulders, saw that Alex had indeed come prepared\u2014a metallic butt plug poked out, just slightly, from his deliciously tight ass.<\/p>\n

Tanner grinned and found the mage\u2019s lips again, sucking and biting on the lower one. It didn\u2019t feel like their usual kind of fucking. It wasn\u2019t loud or messy or inventive. This time, it felt much deeper than that. They didn\u2019t feel the need to fill the silence with the sound of their teasing or Tanner\u2019s orders like they normally did.<\/p>\n

Only the sound of skin brushing against skin could be heard within the dark room, then Alex moaned as Tanner worked his way south, leaving a soft kiss on the tip of his fully erect cock. He was going to fuck this boy so hard he wouldn\u2019t be able to sit for a month, let alone sneeze.<\/p>\n

Tanner devoured Alex\u2019s cock. His inner wolf immediately lurched to the surface, its black eyes and head glistening in the murkiness of his thoughts, licking its lips as fiercely as he lapped at Alex. He tried to go slower, tried to brace himself and savour the moment, but the sensation was irresistible. He wanted Alex now and, Shadow Ball be damned, at that moment, it was all he\u2019d ever wanted.<\/p>\n

Alex\u2019s hands snaked around Tanner\u2019s head, curling in his dark hair. Tanner hummed along Alex\u2019s shaft, glanced up, and saw that the fire mage\u2019s eyes glowed as fiercely as an inextinguishable flame. Not even his darkness could overpower it. The thought tipped him over the edge. He sucked harder, faster. His fingers crept under Alex\u2019s balls and teased, circled, and pressed into them, but no, he wasn\u2019t ready to give in.<\/p>\n

Alex gasped as Tanner released his cock and wiped the pre-cum from his mouth with the back of his hand. He threw off his own sweater and grabbed Alex by the top of his thighs. He tugged the fire mage closer so that he was positioned on top of Tanner\u2019s lap, his ass exposed to the night air. He pulled the plug from Alex\u2019s swollen hole and expertly angled it as he thrust it inside again, flicking it against his prostate. He repeated it to the sound of Alex\u2019s moans, just moving it an inch and then back again, and the fire mage bucked so that the plug hit his sweet spot every time.<\/p>\n

Tanner pulled the plug out with a plop<\/i> and leant towards Alex\u2019s splayed ass cheeks. He dived into his hole with his hot tongue, prodding hungrily and then circling the puckered ring while Alex quivered on his back…<\/p>\n
