Jerrie Alexander Interview Published on: 23, Nov 2020

That took some thinking. The one thing that stands out in my mind is my brother. Barely two years older than me, he’s always been my best friend. Even to the point of beating up a boy who was mean to me. I knew then he’d always be there for me and he still is today.

Eons ago, I studied creative writing. I still have every graded a paper I turned in. Weird, I know. It travelled all over the United Sates with me even after I was married and had two children. None of those first works were published and that’s a good thing.

I’ve always referred to my husband as the last John Wayne. He was alpha for sure, yet, he liked that I thought for myself. He believed in me. Said I could do anything I thought I was big enough to tackle. Any love story should have partners who respect each other. Who are willing and capable to “save” the other if needed.

Oh, honey. All moments in Texas are big! ;) Joking.

For years, romantic suspense was the only genre I read. I love spinning romance and danger together into a story that readers can feel like they know the characters.

Contemporary erotic romance came about after I lost my husband and the ability to sit down and create. After three non productive years, my doctor suggested I try a different genre, one that would challenge me. My computer is full of pages of research, I now follow a number of blogs written by women who live the BDSM lifestyle and are very happy. It works for them and I support couples right to live as they wish.

I decided to write a series of standalone books with interconnected characters. The idea for book 1, Hell or High Water, came from a news story. During large events like the Super Bowl and big concerts human trafficking crimes spike. It inspired me to research and write the story.

I allowed my hero and heroine to grow. To fail and recover. To hurt and heal. Readers can always expect a happy ending without a cliffhanger from me.

She came right out of my research. Sometimes the character kind of comes to life in my head. Crazy, right? I wanted her to be brave, strong and secretive with good reason.

LOL. The list is way too long. They say wisdom comes with age, but ideally, it should be present when we’re young.

I love writing a series best. I can build a tight knit group of friends who trust and rely on each other. It allows me to create a story around each character yet, not leave any unsolved issues behind. I don’t write cliffhangers.

I hope I leave them satisfied that the time and money they spent was worth it. Whether the book is murder and mayhem or a hot and sexy romp, I want my readers to have lost themselves just for a while in the story.

Without sounding maudlin, I’d have to say a new borne baby. I had two perfections.

I read for pure pleasure. My go to escapism is historical romance. I want a spicy one so I turn to authors who take me away to another time and lifestyle.

Come Hard, book one of the Club Silken series releases November 10, 2020 followed by Come Hot, book 2, which releases December 1 st , 2020 and Come Together, book 3 releases January 12 th , 2021. After that, I plan on collapsing for a few days.
