Little Hellion: love tames a wild heart

LITTLE HELLION: love tames a wild heart is the second in my Unfinished Business of Love series. Here’s a bit of backstory. This was the first novel I ever presented to a writing group. I had gone to a writing seminar at the same site where one of the facilitators made fun of my desire to become a romance writer. He and his writer friends look down their noses at me saying that I didn’t deserve to join their writing group because my choice of genres was foolish and unworthy of a real discussion. He continued to make belittling comments. I finally left the seminar felling belittled and humiliated. I even demanded a refund and explained in a terse letter why. The administrator of the writing program had a difficult time with my situation, refusing to refund my money for serval weeks while he checked out my complaint. I finally received a refund. Of course I was very wary about joining another writing group at the same location. The leaders of my new writing group were two older women. What a difference gender makes! They were actually nice, formulating their critiques of my work in useful ways and I learned […]

I wrote this book in 2006 to challenge myself. I wanted to see if I could tell a decent suspense tale with a romantic bent. I needed inspiration to keep writing so I named one of the main characters after one of my favorite play aunts from childhood. As happens sometimes in life my play aunt grew older and developed dementia. In her later years, her children admitted her to an assisted living center for seniors. The last time I visited my mother, we went to see my play aunt. She looked older but she was still so beautiful it nearly took my breath away. Unfortunately her mind wasn’t a match for her body and she didn’t remember who I was. At the time we visited, my play aunt was concerned that her husband wasn’t in the room with her and she was running all over the place searching for him. My mother didn’t have the heart to tell her what the nursing staff had told my play aunt a million times that her husband lived elsewhere in another assisted living center. Her husband of nearly sixty years needed a wheelchair to help him get around. While his body had […]

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 […]

COMING OUT: LESBIAN AT 47

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Other, What the experts say, Worth a look 0 comments
I read this article from a worried parent years ago. I found the question interesting enough to write about. A woman, the mother says, “My 16-year-old son told me that he is gay. What should I do about it?” Today, I’d add my own experiences of informing my family that I was a lesbian. I wasn’t as young as that mother’s son was when he said, “Guess what Mom? I’m gay. Nope, that wasn’t me. I was 47-years old before I finally admitted to me that I was gay and then I admitted it to my family. You’re probably thinking isn’t 47 a little old to discover your orientation? Shouldn’t a person know before they reach 30 who or what they like? At 47, a person has lived over half her life in the shadows and maybe with the wrong gender as well. I understand your skepticism but permit me to explain my particular situation. I’m a Baby Boomer. When I grew up, young women were just beginning to flex their muscles. They were thinking about working in non-traditional jobs and considered living non-traditional lives. Most of the women I knew when I was a kid, wore traditional clothes to […]
