Well hello there...my name is Havan
Fellows and I'm here to ask you a question. Well to peddle a book or two and
get some ideas in return, actually...but asking a question seems so much nicer
doesn't it? *winks*
What do you do when inspiration strikes
your fancy at an inconvenient moment? I know there are a million and one
answers to this question...and every one of them is correct for the people who
use those methods.
Me...well I burst out in song.
*heads desk to hide blush*
Oh yeah...like the other morning, I was
driving to my EDJ (evil day job) and the second book to my Wicked Solutions
series popped into my head. I'd already written the first chapter...but was
stuck on how to get to the ending I knew I wanted. So here I am doing the speed
limit *cough cough* with another fifteen or so minutes before I get to work.
And once I actually get in the office all
bets are off that I'll be able to jot anything down immediately...it is a rare
day when I don't get jumped as soon as I walk through the door...lol
So what is a girl to do? I started
singing the idea...it made a catchy little tune...and when I walked into the
office I turned it to a low hum—put out any fires that were waiting for me and
jotted it down in bullet form. Problem solved.
That time...
But I'm always looking for new and
ingenious ways to get what's in my noggin out. Got any ideas you are willing to
share?
Oh...and if you are interested in my
little ditty I came up with, it will be available in March—until then you might
want to take a peek at the first book in the series. This is a new series for
me and a few of my friends called Pulp Friction...we are taking you back to the
hard edged, not always on the right side of the line good guys. You might not
get your HEA immediately...but stick with us and I'm sure you won't be
disappointed...
Here's a little glimpse into the Pulp
Friction world...
Wicked Solutions
Sometimes the only way for justice to
prevail is to get a little Wicked...
Blurb:
People who call him know the deal. He'll solve their problems, but
he'll do it his way. That's the only way Wick Templeton plays the game. His
years on the force and connections to all types of specialists put him in a
league of his own. That's how he intends to keep it.
An ex-boyfriend in need puts Wick on a path that crosses that of
Ned Harris, a stranger who proves to be a worthy adversary.
Wick's simple agenda gets a little more complicated. Item one:
Clear his ex's name. Item two: unmask the enigma that is Ned Harris.
It's a good agenda. Too bad Wick can't seem to stick to it.
You can find Wicked Solutions at All Romancee-books & Amazon
Excerpt:
Wick whistled while he worked, clicking on different files in
Neer's computer and copy/saving them onto the brand new flash drive he had
brought with him. Most of the files would end up being worthless, but he
wouldn't chance missing the right one because he didn't want to transfer them
all over.
"Would you mind not whistling that shit?"
Wick didn't even bother looking up, he could tell from his
periphery vision that the big brute still sat proper in the chair. "Oh
sorry, was that bothering you?" He licked his lips and when he blew
between them the theme song for It's
a Small World took flight.
"Just kill me now."
"I don't take requests. Now less talking please, I'm concentrating."
He continued whistling his little ditty while he finished the last of the
transfers.
He reached into his pocket for his second flash drive when he
noticed a link on the M drive that he could've sworn wasn't there before. He
clicked on it...nothing. He moved the mouse over it again and double
clicked...still nothing.
"Say, Cliffy dah-ling. What's so special about the M
drive?"
"Go to hell, fuckwad."
"Okay, that's a tad unwarranted." But it wasn't the
words that got Wick's interest piqued. No, he already guessed Neer wasn't a
poet. The way his back stiffened when asked about the M drive, now that
interested Wick.
He messed around trying to find a back door for this elusive
drive, but no go. Finally he just put his pointer over it and clicked
repeatedly out of frustration.
It opened up to a password protected file.
"Well fuck me, that really does work?" He chuckled as he
searched the obvious places on the desk just in case Neer's denseness equaled
Brad's. Unfortunately, Neer didn't leave a handy dandy sticky note with
passwords stuck anywhere. Well, this was as far as he could go without asking
for help. He curled his lip up to the right, he hated asking for help.
"Hey Cliffy, wanna play a game?"
He twirled the chair so he faced the back of Neer's head and
propped his feet on the desk.
"Go to hell, fuc—"
Wick raised his voice over Neer's, "There are five main swear
words that are frequently used in the English language to hurt people's
feelings. When used with lesser cuss words you can procure hundreds of
derogatory names. When combined to make compound words your options go into the
thousands, even higher if you aren't particularly worried about the grammar
Nazis. If you insist on insulting me I'm going to have to ask that you change
it up each time. It keeps our romance alive, keeps the spark in our
relationship.
"So now, about our game. I've got a silencer in my bag here.
I'm about to equip it on my gun right here in my hand." He held up the
gun, when Neer attempted to look he stopped him. "What are you doing? No
turning around. I really do have a silencer. You'll have to have a little faith
in your dance partner on this one. Now, I'm going to ask you a few simple
questions. If you answer them correctly all is well. If you don't; I shoot.
Let's say, oh I don't know...I'll begin about a foot away from you, but each
time I don't get the answer I want my aim will target a little closer...and
yada yada yada. Get the gist of it?"
