Life’s the shit!
Chicks squeal over how wild and yummy I am, play their
silly games trying to tie me down. But I’m free as a bird, doing what makes
life life: kicking extreme-sport-ass!
I base jump, snowboard, bungee jump. I do anything for
the rush.
Then, Ingela blows into town for
college—a cool Swedish blast of trouble. Foulmouthed and runway-gorgeous, the
girl seeps in like poison and melts the freaking brain.
To Ingela I am what chicks were to me: pastime, leisure,
entertainment, pleasure. She’s killing me, and I’m digging it. There’s a new
rush in town! Yeah, I hunt down my highs, and now the chase is on.
I’ll catch her soon enough, just, what’s the deal with her ex?

With Ingela, sex is a dance. A slow tango
where skin flows over skin. It is slick readiness, a quiet welcome. It’s
smooth, warm, right, and all wrong.
On and off. On and off. Again, she’s wrecked with grief.
It’s a reminder of how I destroy her, how crushed relationships shouldn’t be
revived.
We’ve done this for years, now, but clearly we’re in for
more.

The chase is over. Right here, right now, this is it.
Even if it only lasts thirty seconds, the rush of what I’m about to do floods
me and makes me feel. It’s so intense, every muscle in my body goes
rigid with anticipation.
The air is sharp and early-morning raw. I stare out from
my post on an overhang off Firam Peak. Let my eyes judge the steep drop into
the ravine on the backside of the mountain. Jagged granite walls form
unpredictable patterns that crash to the bottom the way I will soon, and
a light dusting of snow contrasts starkly with the somber stone.
I shake my arms. Not to relieve the tension but to make
sure I’m nimble and ready. I didn’t invite my friends Dan and Marek along
today. I’d be better off with someone else around, of course, but nothing
compares to the thrill I experience as I step forward alone. I’m on the edge,
now, in every sense of the word.
I draw in a breath of icy oxygen. Crack my fingers
inside my gloves and adjust the strap on my helmet. I’m ready.
It’s so easy to plunge off the cliff. All I do is heave
up on my toes and extend my arms. A light bend at the knees and I’m off,
flying.
Ah, yes. I fly.
I write New Adult fiction, sometimes with a paranormal twist—like
in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014
and in “Stargazer,” estimated release date, November 2014. The first book I’m
self-publishing is the New Adult Contemporary novel “Pandora Wild Child,” which
will make me a proud indie author in October 28th 2014!
I specialize in impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys
running amok. Then, there’s the intense love, physical and emotional attraction
beyond reason—sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters.
Like in real life, I hope you’re unable to predict what comes next in my
stories.
Yes, so I write what I love to read, and depending on the reader,
you’ll find my books to be a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster—or disturbing
because the struggles of love aren’t your thing. Here’s to hoping you have
the same reading vice as me!
