this story?
Palmyra and I had an untouched emotional affair. It was forbidden, because we had our own families. We never intended to date or fall in love. But I was planning to end my life and she was the only person who saw signs and talked me out of it by making her a few promises. Promises like: writing a story about our love, writing a song, traveling to Berlin (even if we were no longer speaking), me taking care of her financially (gi- ving her 20,000 euros and creating the Bampire brand and giving it to her), and traveling...
I hope the readers take away that, true love is not selfish or bre- aks up families. That the ultimate sacrifice for me is giving the per- son you love what they need (Pal- myra’s was her family) and not what they want (I knew she wan- ted me but was conflicted). That loving someone from a distance is ok no matter how much it hurts. Know when to let go.
The concept of MHSTY,

is a beautiful and intimate expression. How does this concept of love and connection play a role in your stories, particularly within the complex

their sexual desires?
Time to Play series was written for Palmyra when we were dating online. Since I couldn’t be there physically, I wanted to be there mentally. So I wrote those stories to share with her when she was in the mood to be with me. The 1s, and 2nd books were just short sto- ries to put her in a frame of mind for desires since she didn’t feel sexy.
But the last book was one that I wrote specifically for her. This story took about 6 months to wri- te. It is a choose your desire story. You can read it 4 times and get different endings. I wanted her to know that with me, I would have made our love life very interesting. I am not the kind of man that pe- ople can figure out. So my story to her had to reflect this.
As far as the stigma goes, wo- men already have men that they love in their lives. So many times the sex is lacking imagination. So my hope is that this helps them to quinch that desire by reading my books and maybe sharing this with their partners and having a discus- sion about sex and how both par- ties can be happy.
But for single ladies, I want the last book to be as if I am the man in your life for one evening while you read it. I want you to enjoy reading it many times until you reach your sexual satisfaction. Because we all need someone in our lives, even if it just one night.
what they meant, not what they stood for.
MHSTY means: I loved her with all my heart and she loved me. It deeply meant we were soul- mates and that our love was real no matter where life takes us, and it took us in different directions.
The Bampire society you’ve created is described as
being driven by pleasures
and desires, yet they crave something that humans have— true love. How do you explore the tension between carnal desires and the deeper need for emotional connection in your writing?
Bampires have sex to live a long time. Yes it does feel good, but they must do it to survive. So they can get bored with just the act alone. When they fall in love, sex takes second place to getting to know that person. When they fall in love, they gain abilities to help them accomplish that continued love.
I tease them with a video book trailer. To get them interes- ted in the story.
When they read, I
place them in a sce-
ne and then unravel
the story slowly.
Then help them to
understand the state
of mind the charac-
ters are in. Then try
to get the reader to
think about how they would have handled that situation. Then I use very expressive words along with music from my Spotify playlist to really draw the reader in by having the lyrics speak to the reader along with the story being told.
To me, pain is the number one emotion that holds the most me- mories. Next comes pleasure, Then comes laughter. So I focus on telling a story with the first two emotions to suck in the readers with pain and hold them there with pleasurable scenes.
But I also show the view points of the characters at different times to show the reader why they acted a certain way.
So I try to capture:
MIND: marketing, videos, and direct offers for people to read it.
BODY: getting the reader angry, excited, or turned on.
HEART: Share the story of a broken creature who is put into a decision to choose between a pro- mise, or his emotions. MHSTY is what connects the readers to a term of endearment when they see those 5 letters and is what I want people to wear and adopt as a sign of true love. I hope it makes them want a love like the one I expe- rienced with Palmyra.
Your Time To Play series features short erotic stories that emphasize women’s desires. What inspired you to write this series, and how do you hope it resonates with readers, particularly in terms of addressing the stigma around women expressing
So in the story, everyone is ha- ving sex. But Attacker has sex to try to win LB’s love. But LB didn’t want sex from Palmyra, just to be with her in the moment. Yes, he did desire to have sex with her, but he wanted to know the secrets Pal-

Online, those 5 letters was how we knew it was us talking. In the story, Palmyra knew LB still loved her when he said MHSTY. If he never used those words, then she knew he never loved her. No one except LB and Palmyra knew why those letters were so important and
myra’s heart held and to know her flaws and all. So his time spent with her was less sex and more talking. But Attacker’s point was more sex and less talking and try to take what she wants.
You mentioned that your writing style is unique and aims to capture the reader’s heart. Can you elaborate on your approach to writing
and how you ensure that your readers feel deeply connected to your characters and their emotions?
My writing style focuses on a subject that we deal with daily. Example: Cheating, death, and even feelings of regret and falling in love.
