Blurb/Synopsis
I'm known as the Black Widow because the desires I hide inside are pure poison.
I was a different person once. Faith, a young wife, hoping to become a mother. My life was pleasant. Stable. It was hell. Until Killian Knight opened my eyes to a world of espionage and intrigue. He saw something in me, something I was too afraid to acknowledge. I didn't want to be excited by the danger. Didn't want to crave the wicked passion only he could provide. But I did want, so now I run. And I pay.
I never meant to corrupt her, but I'm not sorry.
After all, I'm already damned.
After four years of searching and longing, I've finally found her. Faith, the one person in the world I breathe for. She lives beneath my skin as surely as I wear proof of our transgressions inked on my body. And like the forbidden fruit that doomed us from the beginning, our end is inevitable. We lived with no regret. We loved without inhibition. We betrayed those closest to us. We killed for that love. Now...we will burn in hell together.
1. When did you first start writing and when did you finish your first book? I started my first book when I was about 15 or 16. Like most first drafts, I abandoned it because it was pretty bad! I didn’t write again for a very long time, not until my second child was born, and I published my first book Hostage To Love (under my Maya Blake pen name) in 2009.
2. Where do you get your ideas from? Ha! I get this question all the time, and I wish I had a profound answer. Simple truth is that I have a very active imagination. And I people-watch a lot so I find myself wondering about people’s lives and what excitement I can throw in there to make a story. I’m always playing the “what if” game but with a twist. For example, what if that bodyguard walking two steps behind that celebrity on TV has a secret crush on said celebrity’s little sister and has been hiding it for years but can’t keep it hidden anymore? That sort of thing. Not all my ideas result in a story but if it’s strong enough to survive the see-how-you-feel-about-it-next-week rule, then I go with it.
3. Do you work with an outline or just write? Before I start a book, I normally have a rough road map of where the story’s going. I don’t plot every single scene/detail because I find that boring, and I normally stall myself. I like to leave the actual road trip to the characters and just tell them the destination.
4. Is there any particular author or book that has influenced you in anyway either growing up or as an adult? Growing up, the late Penny Jordan was my absolute idol. Her piece of writing advice: “If you can anticipate where the book you’re reading is going or think you have an idea of how to make a story you’re reading better, then try writing it,” which was the reason I attempted my first story.
5. Do you have any rituals or writing quirks? As long as I’m fueled with my cup of strong coffee, I’m good to go.
