We're thinking of celebrating some of our characters' mothers over at The Macaronis Blog next Sunday. Historical mothers, hysterical mothers, whether in excerpt from existing works or in specially written scenes, we'll be having them.

I dare say Mrs Stewart will be there, assuming she gets her broomstick fired up in time.

I'm delighted to say that my guest today is the lovely Becky Black. Becky's a Geordie, which automatically earns her a gazillion brownie points from me and is a genuinely nice gal to boot. So I asked her:


  1. What inspired you to start writing?


The internet! I’d always wanted to write, but was very shy of showing my writing to anyone. I did a lot of “writing avoidance”. Massive planning, notes and world building, but little actual writing. Because if I wrote something I might finish it and have to do something with it. I was far too scared to do that. Then the internet came along and I started writing some fanfiction. It felt much easier to share my writing on the internet when the people are just usernames. And where if nobody liked the writing I could just disappear and never have to interact with those people again. But people did like it, so I kept writing.

Jarrett Blake's escaping from prison after months of torture and solitary confinement, but his bid for freedom ends when his stolen ship crashes into a remote moon. He wakes to find himself with two broken legs and helpless in the care of Marc Satie, a technician stationed alone at an isolated monitoring station. Marc saved Jarrett's life, but was it an act of mercy or does he want to claim the reward on Jarrett's head? It's a big reward--as befits the most wanted terrorist in the galaxy.

Jarrett gradually recovers under Marc's care and seduces him, hoping Marc will never turn his lover over to the authorities. As time passes. Jarrett begins to think of it as more than a seduction. Marc is beautiful, gentle and kind and Jarrett's had none of those things in his life for a long time. He wants Marc at his side permanently.

But Marc has a secret and the exposure of it will show Jarrett he's been in more danger than he ever realized. Marc is not the man Jarrett thought he was. After the truth comes out, Marc proposes a daring plan. If it succeeds they can walk away together as free men. But they have very different ideas about where they're walking to.
