Why I Wrote Tattooed Dots
As I get closer to finishing the second book of my Halo series, I realized that my new followers might not know why I wrote Tattooed Dots, so I’m re-posting my story…
Fans always ask why we write the books that we do. I can’t speak for every author, but I wanted to tell you why I wrote Tattooed Dots and why it holds a special place in my heart.
Some authors, especially me, write what they know. It’s easy. I never thought that I had an exciting life, but as I’ve written my current books, parts of me have appeared in the stories. Like for example in Where I Need to Be book one for my B&S Series, there is a scene where Spencer texted her friend Ryan that there was a hot guy on the treadmill next to her and she says, “OMFG, I have my very own Gideon Cross at the gym. Hot guy running on the treadmill next to me! 🙂”. I actually did that with one of my friends.
Tattooed Dots is different though. If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you might know that I had a tumor removed March 1, 2013 and went through radiation in June 2013.
I got the idea for Tattooed Dots when I was laying on the table undergoing one of my radiation treatments. As you can imagine, radiation wasn’t easy. Radiation doesn’t physically hurt during the treatment, but laying on a table for twenty minutes a day with your breasts pointing to the ceiling while male technicians administered the dosages—sucks! It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life.
I don’t want to spoil the book for you. There is way more to the story. When I started writing it, it was supposed to be a standalone, but the characters just kept wanting me to write their story and there was no way I could fit everything in one book.
So, if you haven’t already, check out the reviews and see what people are saying and then one-click it and get ready for book 2! 😉
