Guest Post: Kacey Hammell on Writing the Best When Surrounded by Support

I’m very excited today to welcome Kacey Hammell back here – and this time she’s celebrating her debut release with Ellora’s Cave!


~*~


I’ve been very lucky. I have a small group of family around me who support my writing and believe in me. Their support never wavers and they bolster me up on the toughest days when writing can be difficult.


My Mom brags to anyone who will listen, and my husband encourages me with massages, kind words and sweet whispers of his belief in me. Plus my daughter and her BFFs love the wickedly hot covers, images of sexy men that inspire me, and all vow to read every book I’ve written once they’re of legal age LOL – though to think of them reading what I write at any age is odd!! *g*


Many people around the WWW don’t find a lot of value in forums/sites such as Facebook and there is often times a lot of nastiness that happens online and it can be a terrible place to find support/kind words.


However, I’ve been blessed to have connected with a lot of authors through Facebook and various places, and so many are very supportive and encouraging. Many are also willing to share info that helps their careers, promo opportunities, swag ideas and/or offering to read a blurb/synopsis that is kicking my ass. Readers are also very supportive and when I get receive a letter from a fan of my books, it’s like Christmas morning all over again.


Whether aspiring or a bestselling author, one of the best things a writer needs to do is surround themselves with as many encouraging people as possible. True supporters who will stand beside an author and lend a hand, provide a shoulder to cry on and tell us like it is—even if it hurts to hear.


I hope all authors have found those wonderful people to surround themselves. Writing can be even more fun and at its best when an author knows there’s a legion behind her.

A Romantica® erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave


As she crossed the threshold, a man looking out the window turned.


Daaaaamn. What a fine specimen.


At least six feet tall with a strong jaw, short dark hair and a silver stud earring in his left ear. Her insides quivered. Dark jeans, a white button-down shirt and a black leather jacket made him sexy and masculine. She guessed him to be in his late thirties.


She’d never met Adam in all the years she and Bobby had been friends, and damn if she wasn’t disappointed she never had. He was a gorgeous man. She’d missed out on a lot.


“Hello, Mrs….”


A tad nervous about her reaction to him, she lowered her eyes, then eased the door shut behind her and turned the lock. They needed privacy. Smiling, she slunk into the room. “Why don’t you sit down and get comfortable?”


He frowned, then tilted his head to the side and scanned her body up and down. His baby blues widened when they landed on her red stilettos.


Lark grinned. So the studmuffin wasn’t used to women who dressed like her. Good. Made it all the more fun to entice them.


“I’m sorry, am I in the wrong office?”


“You’re here to see Bobby, correct?” She knew he was, but didn’t want to give the game away.


“Yes I am.”


“Then you’re in the right place.” She drew open the sides of the belt keeping her jacket closed. Working it apart in deliberate slow motion to heighten anticipation, she again instructed, “Have a seat. I don’t bite.” She smirked. “Unless you ask me to.”


He watched her, eyes bulging as she pushed the material off her shoulders and laid it over Bobby’s desk.


Shock and uncertainty flooded his eyes but was quickly replaced with interest and heat as he took in her scantily clad body.


Good. She liked his full attention on her.


“I’m not sure what’s going on here. Are you Bobby’s secretary?” She opened her mouth to speak but he raised a hand and ushered her to hush. “I’ve never seen a secretary look like you.”


She laughed, ignoring his question about her identity, and winked at him as he sat in the chair in front of Bobby’s desk. “Oh this old thing?” She gestured to her red silk crop top, her black lace bra showing through, and her crimson leather skirt, which was so short her panties would surely show if she bent over. “Just something I threw on this morning.” She moved in front of him and leaned her ass on the desk.


He grinned and stared up at her. “What can I do for you?”


“Oh honey.” She retrieved her cell phone. “Ask not what you can do for me.” She pressed the music button and selected her dance playlist. “But what I can do for you.”
