Your Black series were wonderful. I’ve read all of them. Didn’t your mother warn you about hearing voices? Are you planing on writing anymore of the thrillers, I hope? It was quite a change from the usual Romance you write.

Cheri Renee–thanks so much for visiting! I guess you saw my “Tweet”? lol! (Be sure to go back a few days in the archive here and you’ll see how horrible our trip back from Vegas was!)

And for those of you who are wondering, no, these books don’t mean an end to my lighter Leslie Kelly stuff. I’m still happily writing novellas and Blazes for Harlequin.

And, actually, believe it or not–despite a few scenes like the above one in the new books, they are really very romantic, very strong relationship books. Dark, but definitely not unrelentingly so, by any means, and not as dark as some other very popular romantic thrillers out there. I don’t think it would be possible for me to write a book without any lightness/flirtation/humor at all. Probably Black At Heart (the 3rd book in the series) comes the closest. The other two definitely have moments when you read it and you think “Oh, Leslie KELLY wrote this!”

Hey Les, you already know how I feel about your work….I already have these on order and I can’t wait until it finally comes in the mail…the content is definitely a scary thing, but I am interested in seeing this side of your work…the excerpts that I read on your alter ego’s site were awesome…they definitely sucked me in…I couldn’t stop reading and wanted more when I couldn’t read anymore…wonderful choices for excerpts by the way…I wish you luck with this series as well…

Peace and love,
Paula R.

That is quite a scene to digest! I am looking forward to these books but I have to say I can’t handle to much “dark”. While I think you are probably doing a great job with these books I do hope you are not giving up your lighter Leslie Kelly side, I love your humor. After reading the excerpt of your book!!

Hope you have had a good day.

Leslie, I’m so excited about your new books! Can’t wait to read Fade to Black when it comes out in July.

I personally dream about scenes yet to be written. I will wait to write them down because I will dream the same scene for days with more defined detail each time. Then when I can’t stand not to write it down I put it to paper. Sometimes I will think of these scenes as I drift off and come up with dialoge. I keep a notebook around and find myself jotting things down to use later as I write. What can I say it works for me!

Actually, I had never heard that “every villain is the hero of his own story” but what an important concept for every writer to remember — particularly right now, when a “protagonist friend of mine” is unexpectedly revealing herself to be quite the wench.

And what a setting: A cyber playground for deviants, where “No one ever says no. No desire is too dark to fulfill.” This sounds a bit like Vegas, although the imagery you drew with words was much more chilling.

I’m looking forward to reading more plotmonkeys and my first Leslie Parrish book!
