I would like to write a novel that every, single person loves, but not even J.K. Rowling could do that. Instead, I try to write stories that pull on people's emotions. I believe that sadness is the most powerful emotion, and swirled with regret the two become a dominating force. I love villains. Three of my favorites are Mother Gothel, Gaston and the Evil Queen who all suffered from a pretty wicked case of vanity (like me). I like to make these personality types the center of my stories.
I love rain, Coke, Starbucks and sarcasm. I hate bad adjectives and the word "smolder". If you read my book-I love you. If you hate my book-I still love you, but please don't be mean to me; I'm half badass, half cry baby.

So when life gets heavy it’s hard to channel energy to being creative when your energy is going to stress management. Sometimes it’s just part of the process to wait for creative lightening to strike. I often submerge myself in other people’s art to find inspiration. Let art inspire art, you know? (less)

Marrow

I ONCE SAW A YOUTUBE VIDEO of a woman beating her baby. I was shocked by how calm she was. She wasn’t being forced; she wasn’t visibly angry or flustered. She sat with her back to the camera, punching, slapping and pinching—over and over while he screamed.
Why did I spend six minutes of my life watching as a child, who could not yet sit up by himself, was brutally beaten by his mother? Because he s Read more of this blog post »

message 34: by Jules

Jules A teaser would be very much appreciated! I don't think my psyche could handle a re-read...I consumed Caleb and Olivia's story and became tooooo emotionally involved.

FAVOR: PLEASE let the producers of 50 Shades know who the model is on the cover of Thief. He is absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for Christian Grey!

Ash Wednesday Congratulations on the early release of Dirty Red :-) I stopped at 10%, I may need to buddy read it... Someone else needs to hold my hand while going through Leah's POV. (Edited because i'm such a spazzbrain I typed the wrong title x.x)


Jennifer Brennan Tarryn - I just finished reading your book for the fourth time yesterday. And once again, I found myself up in the middle of the night, thinking about these characters that Aren't. Even. Real! What is wrong with me?? I have read many, many books, some by your very good author friends, and none of them, NONE! have affected me the way The Opportunist has. Bravo...I love you and don't even know you. Thank you for doing what you do, and doing it so well!

Sara Sooo excited for Dirty Red!!!

Erica E thanks so much for accepting my friend request. just started The Opportunist this morning on my way to work. Let's just say I've been thinking about it all day. Can't wait to get out of here so I can continue reading ;-)


message 16: by Dina

Dina Hello!
Just wanted to say that I loved The Opportunist, one of my favorites!
Can't wait for Dirty Red. *.*


message 15: by Sara

Sara This book was so good. I wasn't sure what to think when I was done. I was mad that Olivia was such an emotional idiot, that Caleb didn't fight enough, and Leah can simply kick rocks!! Looking forward to book 2. I hope it ends like I want it to :)

There is a spoiler for book two at WWW.thepressedpenny.com
Caleb will have his own book, in it I think he will redeem himself to many of the readers. Don't forget the sacrifices he made for her. I didn't write a "perfect" character like Edward Cullen. I wrote about a flawed human. I think sometimes that is what delivers the whiplash. ;)


Stephanie Tarryn, I felt like you punched me in the face last night when I finished The Opportunist. After calming down and sifting everything through my brain for the last 12 hours, now I'm just beside myself. Maybe they arent supposed to be together. Now that I think more about Caleb, he really isn't that good of a person. Reading their college years and how he bounced from one girl to another then the cheating to top it off, I really dont know if I even like him. You have given me a whiplash of emotions and for that, I thank you. This one really made me think...
