My Baby is One Year Old

By J.M. Madden

No, not my kid. Wet Dream, my 1NS baby.

And it’s still one of my favorites.

As soon as I heard about the series, I had an idea. Cameron and Ginger walked into my brain and I had the hero and heroine. I pounded the manuscript out over about 2 weeks (fast for me) and submitted it. Though I already had Second Time Around with Decadent, I didn’t know if they would want this one. Didn’t know if it suited the series or not. Luckily, they did want it. And it did suit the series.  Within two days I had signed my contract. Just a few days after that and I had my cover.

Wet Dream was number 24 in the series. We’re at around 130 now. Incredible numbers for a series. But it seems to work. Hopefully the series will continue because I have an idea for a second Ginger and Cameron story.

A lot has changed in that year’s time. Wet Dream was my third book. I now have six out. Number seven is coming out in the next couple of weeks, and number eight –an EDGEseries book titled Love on the Line- will also be out in a few weeks. I have more on my plate right now that I ever expected to have to worry about, and I love it.  My career is rolling along faster than I ever expected.

What kind of big changes have you had in your life over the past year? Anything you wish you could have left behind?

JM Madden's Wet Dream (yep, we just said it)

So, my third book is out today. 

My god, I can’t believe I just said that!

It’s a little hard to believe. Actually, it’s very hard to believe. Toyota laid me off this time last year, and I’ve come to realize it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was very hurt when they let me go, because I had been a good worker.  Conscientious. The job was grueling, physically, but I did it well. I thought if I did it well, I would have a good career there. 

Not. 

So, I turned to my writing, that little dream I’d always shoved to the corner of my heart.

Imagine my surprise when I had a contract in my mailbox two days after I submitted to Decadent. I cried when I showed my husband, because it meant there was a possibility I could make a career out of this. Now, not quite one year later, I have three books out and one on the way in a couple of months. Not making very much money yet, but I am extremely satisfied with the direction things are going.

Wet Dream was the most fun to write, I think because I have an erotica author inside me and she’s testing the waters.  I sympathized with Ginger because I know how difficult it is to sometimes fit into a man’s world. And once you make your place in that world, being expected to keep that façade every day, all the time.  Which can be demoralizing to your self.

And I loved Cameron, my veteran. Even though it doesn’t seem like it in everyday life, we are in a war. Most of the time it doesn’t really affect our lives. We go along, all blasé, knowing people are fighting for our country but being removed from the dirty part of it, the actual fighting. Veterans are beginning to return home, though, and they aren’t necessarily pretty. They’ve had injuries, and been subjected to terrible situations and conditions. Hence, Cameron’s burns. 

All heroes deserve love, even if they are a little rough around the edges. What do you think about physically imperfect men in romance novels? One commenter will receive a download of the book, as well as a separate little gift from me. 

Wet Dream blurb:

Ex-FBI agent Ginger Hampton is not surprised when her date is a no show. Madame Evangeline, owner of 1NightStand promised her a perfect night…but Ginger is used to disappointment in love. The fact that she’s six feet tall, model perfect and owns her own high-end security firm tends to intimidate men. In spite of herself, she’d had high hopes for this date.

Madame Eve’s email had told him to watch for a woman in distress, and the woman at the bar is exactly that. Chief of Security Cameron Jones doesn’t see himself as a hero, but he’s willing to check on a special guest for his boss. He doesn’t realize until he sees her face that it’s Ginger Hampton, his own personal weak spot. She’s not turned off by his brutal scarring, and even flirts as if she’s interested. When he escorts her to her room, does he have the balls to respond to her interest, and stay the night? How can he say no to…his own personal wet dream?
