THORNE: Rose’s Dark Contract is getting closer to release! This is a book I started quite a while ago. I was in a rather dark place when I began writing it. I never thought it would see the light of day. I almost just bled the words and didn’t give much thought to it. When I put an excerpt up on Mr. Blackthorne’s site as well as here on my website, I got a lot of interest. People asked me to finish it. Seems I’m not the only one who likes dark characters, damaged men, and an exploration of human motivation. So I decided that as soon as I could, I would get back to it. When I picked it back up a few weeks ago, I realized that dark place I was in was no longer at the forefront of my emotions. I had buried, or at least accepted, certain things in my life as truths and the depth of my confusion and sadness had worked itself out. Well. That may not be fully true. The struggle continues, but it’s not debilitating. There is life again after hurt. Love abounds. All around me. In all different forms. And the love I thought I might have felt seems sort of surreal now, almost like an out-of-body experience. That’s what distance does. Writing doesn’t hurt either. Don’t think this isn’t dark though. It is. If you’ve read Natalie’s Edge, you’ll know that a story without angst, upheaval, insecurities, and flaws is not something I’m capable of writing. And this is from the male’s POV and let me tell you: This dude is indeed flawed! But his story is interesting and I think there is a twist that you will not at all see coming. I hope you’ll read it when it’s complete. And if you hate him or think he’s too controlling or that he has too many issues, keep reading. You just may be quite surprised at what happens.

I look forward to that story and getting to know your characters, especially after I read the last words of Natalie's Edge. It would be something special.

I look forward to this read. Will I be the winner? I caution you though. Do not stop asking questions. You are who you are, with your darkness and all, and that should not be ignored and marginalized. unless you have no idea where it stems from. Keep searching. Don't push it down. Or deny it. It will only harm you to not fully understand who you are and what you were made to be.

Having just finished the first part of "Natalie's Edge - Temptation" I am entranced by your ability to create by vivid description the characters and their detailed interactions both inwardly and outwardly toward each other. You have gotten so close to me in Natalie, I am even more anxious to read your male POV characters and his issues, needs, desires ...

Nothing wrong with dark. It's a writer's job to go where others may fear to tread, to open up the vein and bleed. The more vulnerable you are when creating, the better. It sounds like a winner!

I know exactly what you mean about having to go into a dark place to write. I was in that place when I wrote my novella, and I'm thinking about starting a sequel to it, but I'm kinda afraid because I don't want to have to go back into that place to write it! :) I think your new book sounds fantastic. Nothing wrong with dark, damaged men. :)

Thank you, Elisabeth. I am intrigued to read your book! How many pages is it? Maybe you might be interested in doing a swap of sorts. If I don't hear from you, I know where to contact you. :)
