Melissa Grant Writes

I was only supposed to wink.

Let me explain myself. I’ve had an idea for a different book for a LONG while. I even have a title from a former friend. A play on words he used to describe me.

I’m not telling you what it is.

I had the title and a general idea of the book’s shape, but writing this blog made it all click into place.

Think ‘Black Mirror’ but with a dark feminine energy.

Oooo.

So this very adult book tempted me to betray Cloudia from across the room, and I was resisting.

I SWEAR.

But it winked, and after a fight with my husband, I was inspired to give in to my literary desires and walk across the room and say… ’Hey,’ with a coy smile.

See, it was for his own good, for his health, really. What I wanted to do to him in real life after our fight became a story, not reality.

It was torrid, brief and oh so satisfying.

It is now filed away to be fluffed and finished in the future.

And my husband is none the wiser and still alive.

Shhh, don’t tell
