BURNING MUSES
In the fall of 2012 I decided to write a novel.
I decided to lose my mind.
I decided to find myself.
Three and half years seems like a lifetime ago, or just yesterday. Hell, I don’t know. It was a dark time that ultimately led me to healing. I am still working on getting better. I am still working on myself. Writing this book is one of the hardest things I have ever done. And one of the most rewarding.
Burning Muses is a contemporary romance novel set in the rolling hills and lush woods of the Missouri Ozarks. I live here, I grew up here, and many places and landmarks that have molded me into the woman I am appear in it. My protagonist has faced many of the hardships that I have… I wrote this novel for myself. I wrote what I myself, as a reader, would want to consume.
I hope you will take a chance on me. Take a chance on a relatively unheard of author, known for poetry. And maybe, just maybe, you will find a poem or two woven in…
Successful, sultry, tattooed, erotic author Seraphina Daniels feels like running. Running from the writer’s block that has been plaguing her. Running from her tabloid fodder life in New York City after her relationship with sexy movie star, Tristan, goes up in flames.
So when childhood friend Kat calls in distress, she decides to fly home to Missouri, convinced the quiet country setting will be the change of scenery she needs to write a novel she can be proud of.
But things have changed in the eleven years since she left the Ozarks.
When Sera meets Chace, romance isn’t an option. He is younger, kind, innocent, hardworking, and her family treats him as one of their own. He is unlike any man she has ever met. Friendship comes easy, but soon, the undeniable attraction they are trying to fight complicates everything.
Will Sera finally stop sabotaging her own love life for the sake of her writing? Can she open her heart to a love that may finally inspire her to write from the heart?
