First Time: but will it be the last kill

by B.L. in Latest Novels, Must read, Other 0 comments
My Unfinished Business of Love series of 5 novellas examines how women handle romantic relationships that end badly. Do the ex-lovers still think about each other? Would they want a do-over? What would they do differently if given the opportunity for a fresh start? Each of my novellas examines what women do when given another chance to make things better for the ones they profess to love…even when that chance comes ten or fifteen years after the breakup. As always, the main characters in the five novellas are all city workers and or women in uniform. The five novellas in the Unfinished Business Series are HORSEWOMAN, LITTLE HELLION, ADAM, MUFFIN and FIRST TIME. FIRST TIME: but will it be the last kill is the fifth and final book in Unfinished Business of Love series. I wrote this book is for all those lovers with broken hearts who wondered what if they had a second chance, would things turn out differently. If things were different now, how would they differ when compared to the past? I tried to imagine two women in a psychology confining space. One of the women is clearly out as gay while the other one is not […]

HORSEWOMAN: is love more than a one trick pony? This is the first novella in my Unfinished Business of Love series and I wanted to give you a little of the backstory of the book. Whew! I’ve just finished working with my editor and cover artist on five novellas and one full-grown novel of a series called Unfinished Business of Love. I’m releasing all of them for the holidays; one 11/26/15 and the novellas for December 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and the 5th. Finishing all of them in time for December release was rough. I don’t know that I’d do it again but I did finish them! I usually don’t write novellas but I wanted to look at the unfinished business of bad relationships, so I wanted to write something short and sweet. I chose the novella as my format. This novella is the first book in my series that examines how women handle romantic relationships that end badly. Do the ex-lovers still think about each other? Would they want a do-over? What would they do differently if given the opportunity for a fresh start? Each of my novellas examines what women do when given another chance to make things […]

B.L. Wilson  about her book: I was raised in a family of women but I went on to have just one child a son. I wanted to write a story about a family of all women. I wanted talk about what it might like for a mother to have only girls and how each daughter might reflect a part of her mother good or bad. I wondered what that might feel like to see your reflection in each one of your daughters. That’s when I decided to give one of my main characters five daughters; each woman has her own unique personality. Everybody thinks Mama has always been straight because she married a nice man and made four babies with him. She knows that’s not quite true. I added some spice and sass to the story by reuniting the mother of five with the other main character, a much hated ex-roommate and one time lover for a 10-week undergraduate field course. Sinkholes, love always finds a way Part Two continues where Part One left off. Isabella and Alexis try to keep their distance from each other as agreed, but circumstances continue to push them together. Although Isabella still feels betrayed […]
