Cheating
Death. The Grim Reaper. I’m fascinated with the concept of looking Death in the
face, and avoiding the final snatch.
As
someone who continuously avoids potential horrendous accidents, it’s a
meaningful subject. (Oh, I don’t cause them, but simply just miss them.) Do I
have a guardian angel? Someone looking out for me from the great beyond? Perhaps,
it’s my mother who died when I was 14, or maybe my best friend, who passed away
in a drunken driving accident the year after I graduated from high school. Or
is it that I have more left to do on this earth?
I
realize these are pretty heavy topics for a blog about erotic romance. It also
gives a glimpse into the psyche, and that fascination with Death. (Note, the
capitalization is totally on purpose … a personification of that we cannot see,
but definitely affects most of us.)
My
first 1Night Stand, A Date with Death,
takes a slightly humorous look at the Great Beyond. The story opens with Maise
in the waiting room of Heaven. I had a friend ask me why a waiting room. It
must have something to do with my Catholic upbringing, and that concept of
Purgatory. What’s one thing we dislike most of all: Waiting. That uneasy
feeling of not knowing, and being stuck between two worlds.
The
same concept surfaces in A Dance with
Death, which recently was accepted for publication, and I’m currently
working on one more for this series. We all have influences that return to
haunt, and some of us may be more perceptive than others. Listen to those voices,
and realize you don’t always have to accept the path given.
A Date with
Death
Death
sucks. It’s boring, and there’s no chance of getting laid. Stuck in the waiting
room of Heaven, Maise fantasizes about all the pleasures of the flesh she
didn’t get to experience. When Maise discovers a business card for the dating
service, 1Night Stand, she wonders if there’s still a chance.
Reece
normally wouldn’t consider being set up, but after his brother buys him a
certificate, he feels obligated. A romantic night on the Southern California
coast, with the full-of-life Maise leaves him wanting more.
Will
a 1Night Stand be enough to overcome death?
